  Description

  YOUR ARE A NATIVE SPEAKER IN ENGLISH, SPANISH OR DANISH AND YOU ENJOY BEING AROUND KIDS in a RURAL SETTING?
  
  Welcome to our small Alpaca Farm in the middle of an unique UNESCO biosphere reserve!
  
  We are a family with three kids aged 4, 7 and almost 10 yeras old and have started to passionately breed alpacas. Our vision is to turn the formerly farm property of our grandfathers into a self- sufficient living and working space and offer a great place to learn from each other. We love to be surrounded by like-minded people with a hands-on attitude who are committed and serious. Drugs of any kind are not welcome.
  Even though a helping hand with animal care ist greatly appreciated this is not a day filling task since alpacas are by nature quite undemanding animals that most time of the day graze on the pasture land :)
  
  PLEASE NOTE: WE MAINLY LOOK FOR a LANGUAGE PRACTICE in DANISH, SPANISH or ENGLISH, HOMESCHOOLING ASSISTANCE, CHILD CARE and light HOUSEKEEPING besides some FARM ASSISTANCE
  
  ...and in the second place for SKILLED and EXPERIENCED CRAFTSMAN for some ECO-BUILDING PROJECTS. Some basic knowledge in German language can be helpful to attend our farm visitors. On the weekends we sell handmade organic ice cream and offer small guided tours with alpacas as well as short farm visits :) ...
  
  PLEASE read our description of the requested work carfeully before contacting us. Running a farm with smaller kids and visitors is truly rewarding but yet requires a good time management. We will not answer to randomly sent and pre-written requests without a clear description of yourself and how you will be contributing to our assigned tasks. Please be sure you can come and do not cancel once accepted. The same attidute, liability and respect you can expect from us.
  
  We are looking forward to hear from you :)

  Cet hôte propose un échange linguistique
  We as a family are interested in creating a natural learning enviroment with native English, Spanish and Danish speakers. At this moment in time we are unfortunately not the right host for people who want to improve their German. We have strong ties to the Danish homeschooler community and spend more than half of the year on a beautiful Danish Island.
