Description
Hello, we are specifically looking for a pair of workaways to join us for a week or ten days. We are looking for people to help with gardening, getting the garden ready for summer and also helping with some forestry, as we have a lot of wood to bring in from the forest.
You will have your own guest studio cottage with a kitchen and WiFi in which to live. We are looking for a couple or two friends. We ask about 25 hours work per week and we provide all food and good accommodation. The reason we are looking for two people is because we are not in a town, and we think it’s better if you have a friend!
