Description
Hej!
We lives in the countryside near the Nationalpark of Tiveden and we are located near the northern end of Lake Vättern.
On our farms, we have just now sheep and 3 horses.
We live in a very beautiful nature with old forest and wildlife around us. We have also a lot of lakes in the area.
To be a volunteer here, you have to like nature and animals. No metropolitan pulse here :D No public transports and grocery store is 20 km away. This is really the country side of Sweden even if it's quite near cities.
Every day looks different, and your help and work will depend on the weather and your abilities.
Your main task will be to help us feed the animals and take care of them. But also other task. It is not a 9-5 job, you become one of us and if something happens to the animals or others we need your help but you will also have nice free time to visit our nature.
Our granddad is living in his little house and will be needing some help sometimes with grocery shopping and other task when we not around.
