  Description

  We are a sober family with an old farm to be our home in the forest. We have alot of space to explore and we work towards this dream humbly.
  Most of family is vegetarian and the offered food is vegetarian. Unless if you eat meat Janne, the father likes to share his.
  Mom, Mirja/Mahati does yoga daily and loves to do it with others so if you're interested - please join her for the morning and/or evening yoga.
  The buildings are in need of renovating and some of them are okay to sleep in. If you want you can have your hammock or tent in the woods if you prefer sleeping outdoors. We love to!
  We have several things to do in the summer at Kutemajärvi (Lake lovemaking) and the help needed might vary from day to day. Renovating, gardening and preserving berries to mention few.
  
  If you like to spend time in the woods and helping out is cool to you we welcome you to work away with us!
  
  A volunteer we had actually thanked for the lovely retriet she had with us as doing volunrary work ❤️ so well we like to take care of our volunteers :) hope you enjoy your time with us as well!

  Help

  Being physically fit helps you endure the helping hours. All the tasks are simple and if you have special talent in permaculture, building or preparing vegetarian food without onions and mushrooms that's a plus but not mandatory.

  Accommodation

  Most of us are vegetarians and most of the food eaten together will be vegetarian. Mahati/mom used to have allergies and is able to cook all gluten free or milk free if needed. So please let us know about your allergies. We offer breakfast (porrige/bread with fillings), lunch and dinner. It might be a good idea to take your own snacks with you to make sure you have the ones you prefer to eat as snacks. If you want to help with the cooking we can rotate it.
  
  We respect a clean mind so please leave the beers and other substances home.
  
  The accommodation will be shared as wished. We have 3 buildings in different state and we all love sleeping out side. So if you want to sleep indoors you have a good possibility for that! And if you prefer sleeping outdoors we have plenty of room for that.
  
  We have a sauna and love going to swim in a lake near. We drive there and you're welcome to come along too.
  
  The toilet is not a water closet.
  
  The water to the cooking is carried from the well and there's a hose to the sauna where we have travel shower. Sauna works well and is going to be renovated shortly for its bad state.
  
  We have a big trampoline, berry bushes and nice 2-3 kids - the teen probably will be in town.
