Description
Welcome to our workaway!
We are Wesley and Manon, a young couple from the Netherlands.
We came to sweden about 4 years ago to start living our dream of runing a self sufficient homestead.
Our goal is to be as Self-sufficient as possible and live from the land as much as possible while still maintaining a comfortable and fun lifestyle.Types of help and learning opportunities

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We can offer and show our guests an experince of our basic and simple life, in a trully amazing and beautiful environment. You wil have the time to explore the deep woods and beautiful lakes.
We can teach our guests a lot of things like basic carpentry, lumbering, painting, mechanics, gardening, animal care and so many more things.Help
The help can consist out of pretty much anything depending on the time of year.
In this upcoming summer (2024) we have alot of renovation projects on going that include carpentry and painting (we can teach you all of that)
We strive to be as Self-sufficient as possible and provide from the land. This means we cut and process firewood, pick berries and mushrooms, fish from the lakes, gather water from the well and spend a good bit of time in the garden. (that we are also going to expend this upcoming summer)Languages

-Be aware-
Becouse we are in the begining of living off-grid we only have electricity when we turn on the generator (this may not be everyday).
there is no running water, all the water comes from a well, that means there is no modern shower but water can be warmed up on the stoof or taking a dip in the lake for a shower are great options. There will be 3 meals a day.
We can all eat togeter, notice we are not vegetarian and meat, fish and eggs are a part of our daily meals. If you have special food needs its good to talk about that before.What else ...
