  Description

  We are a family of two adults (Elin 32, Thomas 35 and our daughter who is 3 years old) and our 4 cats :)
  
  
  We are a vegan/vegeterian friendly farm. We live on a farm on the west coast of Sweden, close to the boarder of Norway. Our dream here is to start a vegan B&B, making our home beautiful, grow our own fruits and vegetables and to have fun in the process :)
  
  We are a nerdy household. Lots of boardgames, warhammer and books. Lots of different nerdy hobbies and me (Elin) work with books, boardgames and warhammer. Thomas works full time in norway as an electrician. But also has his own beer brewing company and also works sometimes with me at the nerdy store :)
  
  HELPERS NEEDED TO ORGANIZE OUR BARN (APRIL-MAY-JUNE AND JULY)
  
  We're looking for two motivated people to help clean and organize our barn this april, may, june and July. The goal is to turn it into a functional a functional space for partys and events.
  
  We are a busy family running a small business (selling books, boardgames and warhammer) maniging other Jobs and raising a toddler. With so much going on, we need extra hands to get this project done.
  
  WHAT WE NEED:
  • Two helpers (with a driver license, - so you can borrow one of our cars)
  • Task: Cleaning, organizing, moving items, and driving trash away.
  • Must be independent, hard working and not afraid to get dirty
  
  The primary focus is the barn, but there might be occasional tasks around the house or garden.
  
  WHAT WE OFFER:
  • 4-5 Hours of work per day, 2 days off per week
  • A shares private room (1 large bed or two single) and a private bathroom.
  • Meals and a friendly athmosphere :)
  
  We would like you to stay for at least a month, with the possibility of a longer stay.
  
  A DAY AT THE FARM CAN LOOK LIKE THIS:
  
  First person who wakes up feeds the cats :)
  
  After that - breakfast. We share kitchen here and you are free to use everything in the kitchen.
  
  After that the work day usually start. Depending on what projects we have at the moment it could be anything from gardening, digging, building, cleaning, painting, cleaning etc.
  
  We have a list in the kitchen that we go through with all new workawayers so you can pick and choose of what you would like to work with on a daily basis. And now it will mainly be the barn.
  
  
  You get to decide for yourself on when you start to work and when you wanna have a day off. We dont have a strict rule on when you should work :)
  But we still expect you to do your full 4-5 hours 5 days a week, but it is up to you how you want to plan your day.
  
  Lunch is whenever people are hungry and usually contains leftovers or what ever you feel like. Dinners we always have together.
  
  That's a typical day here at the farm :)
  And we love it when workawayers here gives lots of love and attention to our animals :)
  
  Here we serve plantbased food for everyone who comes to work for us :) (With the exception of some eggs and sometimes cheese) I would say we eat mostly plantbased with the exception of some eggs and some cheese sometimes and we never eat meat. Thomas is vegitarian and me Elin have been vegan for years but eat some eggs.
  If you enjoy cooking then we love to try when workawayers cook meals for everyone aswell.
  
  It is an amazing help for us as newly parents when workawayers takes initiative to clean the kitchen, like take out dishwasher and make sure common areas are tidy. We also really appriciate when workawayers cook meals for everyone :)
  
  
  
  Time is important to us and we very much appriciate that IF you are coming to us to keep us uptaded with travel information and if anything changes with time and dates for your arrival :)
