Description
Hello, we are family of two humans+many animal members! We love food, gardening, animals, travelling, time with friends and sauna of course. We are looking for help with our perennial garden and some with renovation. You can also help with animals if you like! Why workawayer? We love to travel but this summer we wont be able to travel so we invite you to travel and visit us here in beautiful Finland!
The village is called Koskenkorva. You maybe have heard of it. It is famous of its Koskenkorva vodka. Our house is big, old (build 1909) and is situated by the river. Here is sauna and you can swim in the river. Busses run right next to us and it is easy to here from Seinäjoki trainstation.
We warmly invite you to visit, change cultures, enjoy midnight sun and work with us this summer. We give you place to stay, eat and help to visit other places in our country.

Help
We are looking for people who are willing to help us with our perennial garden for domestic cut flowers. We have quite small garden but it needs taking care of and when the flowering season starts you can help to collect them. We also grow food for ourselves on the side. Also you can help with animals if you like (chickens, dogs and horses). We still have some tasks to do with renovation and taking care of the buildings in the yard so if you feel that kind of work more as your thing let us know! We are looking for person who is not afraid to use his or her hands and get dirty.

Accommodation
We will provide you good local and mostly vegetarian meals, bed to sleep and a room in our house or in the sauna cottage. Our tent is also available if you want to try sleeping outside in the garden.
What else ...
We will help you to visit other places in our country. Even though we are on country side there is good connections with bus (in walking distance) and closest trainstation is in Seinäjoki (~20min drive away). From Helsinki takes ~2,5 hours by train to Seinäjoki. Also the coast is close and there are beautiful cities to visit. I, Taru own horses if you like to hang with them also. The river gives more opportunities to spent free time and there is hiking and biking routes all over.
