  Description

  I’m looking for collaborators for the 2024 season!
  
  I have an established flower and vegetable farm outside of Askersund, Sweden. On about 8000 square meters I grow cut flowers for self pick and bouquets as well as a large assortment of vegetables. There’s greenhouses for tomatoes and cucumbers also. I sell everything in my farm shop and at markets. The self pick is popular and brings in lots of customers every season.
  
  Im looking for the right people to join me in the 2024 season. Some prior experience of gardening is required, the rest I will teach you here. For the right person I can offer accommodation , food as well as payment according to agreement.
  
  This season I’m also expanding the farm into having a garden cafe. I’m finishing building a round timber frame house in the middle of the flower field for that.
  
  On the farm there’s also a tiny house that I rent out to tourists.
  
  I have lots of space for art installations, murals, sculptures, land art, nature art, recycled art or anything that brings beauty and more magic to the place. Artists are more than welcome to get in touch! (Payment offered)
  
  My name is Gustaf, I’m 44, and currently live at the farm alone.
  Every other week there are going to be children - Alf 13 and Vilgot 15 - living in the house. And you’ll also meet Balder, the farm dog, who is always here, as well as two cats. I have a very active life with lots of stuff going on.
  
  The surroundings are quite beautiful, there are two lakes very close by and lots of forests where you can hike. The farm is located only 30 minutes drive away from the national park Tiveden, and 8 km away from the town Askersund that public transports reach twice a day during weekdays. In Åmmeberg, where the farm is located, there is also a small food store, and a golf course with a bar / restaurant around three kilometers away. I have a bike to lend, a bonfire place and exercise equipment. We also have a guitar, a piano and a drum kit.

  Autres infos...

  The flower farm is located only 20 minutes drive and around 45 minutes by bus to Hallsberg, where trains go to Stockholm in only 1 and a half hour. There are public transports going from the farm (100 meters) to the nearby town Askersund twice a day during weekdays, where you’ll find food stores and a nice lakeside with cafés and restaurants. There is a private beach a few hundred meters from the farm that will be turned into a public one soon. We have bikes that you can use, fishing equipment and a rowing boat you can borrow as well. There are nice forest hikes take you can take and lakes you can reach directly from the farm.
