  Descripción

  We are Jannie and Alex and our dogs Flora and Trine. We live on a homestead in a rural area on southern Zealand about an hour south of Copenhagen.
  
  Alex have fulltime job and Jannie works 25 hours a week. We are working on being more self-sufficient. We have cats, chickens, pigs and dogs and we have a vegetable garden, that we’re planning to expand. We always have new projects in the pipeline :-)
  
  We always have different projects underway - this summer projects are where you could help out are:
  - Expanding the vegetable garden with no dig beds. Gardening.
  - Planting fruit trees and bushes.
  - Paint window frames (outside) and other woodwork.
  - Maintain exterior walls - jointing, pointing and painting.
  - Housesitting while we are on vacation in our small sailing boat from 20th of June until 14th of Juli.
  
  We are looking for one-two persons (a couple or a couple of friends) to come and help us with our current projects and the normal routine at the farm. Minimum stay by us is a week. Before accepting workawayers we will always have an online meeting, so that we can get to know each other and tell you more about the work at our place.

  Ayuda

  We need help with maintenance of the exterior, maintaining the vegetable garden, taking care of our animals, and other work on the homestead. We prefer workawayers who have experience with carpentry, painting, gardening and other practical work skills that will come in handy when helping at a farm.
  
  The amount and type of help that we need, vary across the year. In the summer time there will be a lot of garden work and other outdoor work - so make sure, you bring practical clothing and footware. We do typically not need any help during the winther months.
  
  As we both work during the week, we will expect you to be quite independent once you’ve got your tasks. But we will also do much of the work together with you in the weekends.
  We expect that the amount of help will be maximum five hours a day, five days a week at the most, and your free time will most often be on weekdays.

  Alojamiento

  You will have your own bedroom and bathroom, that you will be responsible for keeping tidy and clean during your stay.
  
  We share the kitchen and livingroom, and in the evening we will eat dinner together. As you may know, we have dinner quite early in Denmark compared to other European countries - usually around 6pm, sometimes a little earlier. For the other meals during the day, you are welcome to help yourself. We primarily eat organic and as local as possible.
  We are non smokers and do not accept smoking inside the house.

  Algo más...

  Our place is situated in a village with lots of nature and space for outdoor activities just outside our house.
  We live close to Næstved, which offer a lot of opportunities for shopping, cultural life and local sightseeing.
  The nearest train station is only 15 minutes away by foot, and from here you can reach Næstved (10 min), Køge (30min) and Copenhagen (1hr). If you like bike riding, we have some bikes to lend you.
