    Descripción

    Our farm is a cozy spot where we're all about growing food the organic way and living a life that respects every living being. Here, we've created a safe haven for 5 cows and 4 horses, living by the rules of kindness and self-reliance, inspired by the principles of non-violence and protecting animals.

    Everyone here is part of an intentional community, coming from various walks of life, all working together in a permaculture way. It's important to stick to our community's values and rules during your stay.

    What we're up to:
    • We turn manure into gold (well, almost) by making our soil richer, which helps our gardens thrive and captures carbon.
    • Our green thumbs are busy planting trees and bushes following a master plan that respects the land.
    • We've got a garden where we grow our veggies, herbs, and berries, aiming for a menu that's as fresh as it can get.

    Some of us dive deep into the Bhakti-yoga or Vaishnava tradition from India, and we love sharing this through music and special events. But no worries if that's not your thing; we welcome all spiritual paths or none at all. The main thing? Respect and openness towards everyone's beliefs.

    We're looking for volunteers to join us for 6 weeks to 2 months. It takes a bit to get into the groove of things here and really get to know the routines and other members of the community – both the two-legged and the four-legged ones. Emiilia also runs a Permaculture course that's a two-month gig. Can't stay the full two months? Just let us know; we're flexible.

    While you're here, we count on you to keep things tidy, communicate clearly, stay committed, and be polite. We run a smoke-free, alcohol-free, and meat-free zone. So, if you're here, you're part of that lifestyle too.

    In a nutshell, if you're into growing with the land, learning about sustainable living, and being part of a diverse community, we're the place for you.

    Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

    We're excited to teach you everything we know about:

    • Taking care of cows and horses the right way, with kindness and respect for their lives. We’ll show you how to train them gently without causing harm.

    • How to grow your own food sustainably using permaculture and organic farming techniques. You’ll learn how to bring life back to the soil and grow plants that are good for you and the planet.

    • DIY skills for fixing and building things around the farm using wood, cement, and metal. Get ready to get your hands dirty and create something lasting.

    • Cooking amazing vegan and vegetarian meals that taste great and are good for you. We specialize in delicious Indian and Italian recipes, plus how to bake the perfect sourdough bread.

    • How to keep fruits, berries, and veggies fresh so you can enjoy them longer. We'll share our secrets for preserving the bounty of the garden.

    • Dive into Kirtan-yoga, explore the wisdom of the Bhagavad-gita, and learn mantra meditation to find peace and clarity in your daily life.

    It’s all about learning to live in a way that respects all living beings and the planet, while picking up some cool skills along the way!

    As a volunteer, you'll be hands-on with our daily tasks - looking after animals and keeping the gardens thriving. Plus, you get to jump on cool projects like building and repairs, depending on the season.

    In winter, you're all about animal care - feeding and cleaning up after our cows and horses. When spring hits, and through to fall, you'll switch gears to gardening - think planting, weeding, harvesting, and getting everything ready for the next season starting as early as February.

    Got skills in building or using tools and machines? We've got plans to build an outdoor shower, compost toilet, greenhouse, sauna, farm shop, rocket stove, and even explore Earthship architecture. Keen to help? Let us know!

    If cooking's more your thing, we're looking for someone to take charge of the kitchen, cooking for fellow volunteers. You'd work on a set schedule, with everyone enjoying shared meals twice a day.

    Heads up: Our farm is 100% vegetarian/vegan, so we skip on meat, fish, and eggs here. While we don't provide black tea, coffee, chocolate, sweeteners, or soft drinks, you can easily pick these up from the local supermarket along with any other personal items.

    Most of our work is pretty physical, so be ready for some hands-on action!

    New! If you've led teams before, like in Scouts, and you're up for staying at least 4 months, you're exactly who we're looking for. We'll even throw in special training in the first three weeks. It's a great chance to deepen your skills and make a lasting impact with us.

    We live in the beautiful countryside of southernmost Sweden (Scania), but still relatively close to the cities of Lund, Malmö and Copenhagen. There is a bus stop nearby with decent communication to these bigger cities during the weekdays.

    In the vicinity of the farm there are plenty of opportunities for trekking, cycling and day trips. You may check out the website skaneleden.se . The east and south coasts of Scania are within reach for a day-trip by bus or car, and there are some natural lakes/ponds nearby for swimming, reachable by bike or by a car. This part of Sweden also offers many historical and ancient places for sightseeing, like castles and towns with old architecture.

    At any given time we normally have two to three volunteers staying with us, and can host comfortably a few more. Volunteers normally live in shared, gender-separated rooms. For married couples or couples in a long-term stable relationship, we try to offer an accommodation together.

    Outside of the service hours there are some optional activities arranged for or by the volunteers, like walks with the horses, extra cow care, playing board games, bon fires and story telling, Kirtana-sessions, movie nights, learning handicrafts, etc...

    Two sumptuous meals (breakfast or brunch and lunch or dinner) are prepared every day and taken together. For the third meal and eventual snacks there are usually fruits, leftovers from common meals, bread and granola available for self-catering. All who partake in the common meals are expected to contribute by taking part in a rotating schedule for cooking common meals. For those who opt to prepare their own meals, the farm provides ingredients from our own gardens plus additional fruits, vegetables and dairy products from the local supermarket. Only vegetarian/vegan ingredients are used in the farm and we avoid purchasing processed or unsustainably items as much as possible.
