    Description

    My wife and I moved to Sweden 12 years ago. We are living here on the country side together with our pets on a farm in south Sweden. We have a lot of different projects, like gardening, carpentry, riding, building something, herbs and natural medicin and so on.

    Important to know:
    We are living here in the nature and with the nature, and we are working with the nature. Sometimes we like the work and sometimes it's a very hard work. In the evening we are tired and sometimes everything hurts, but we have a feeling that so many people nowadays not have, we are satisfied. We can see the result of our work, we can smell the result and we can taste the result. And this is a great feeling you don't get if you are sitting on the computer day in and day out.
    So if you like to feel the same, this is the right place for you, and you are welcome to join us.

    Update, 2024-01-07
    In spring we are planning to build a chicken coop, to inocculate appletrees, to plant the trees that I made last year and to plant a strawberry field.
    E try to become more self-sufficiant. We eat meat and we love to eat our own vegetables too.
    Update, 2025-03-21
    Now our little chicken coop is done, and the chickens have moved in. Our project for this year is to get ready with a part of our land to grow vegetables and to plant more appletrees and berries. And perhaps to build a greenhouse

    Autumn is the time to make applejuice again. We have a very small applejuice factory, but it's funny to make it.
    It would be nice to find a workawayer who is intrested in making organic applejuice.
    It starts in september and goes on until the end of october.
    It's a private hobby. We only have some appletrees, but we like to make it.

    Meine Frau und ich sind vor 12 Jahren nach Schweden ausgewandert und leben zusammen mit unseren Tieren auf einem Hof, wunderschön gelegen im südlichen Schweden. Unsere Projekte auf unserem Hof sind sehr vielfältig, von Gartengestaltung, Schreinern über Reiten, mehrere kleine Bauprojekte, Heilkräuter und die Herstellung von Salben, Tees und Tinkturen.

    Der Herbst ist die Zeit der Apfelernte, und wir werden wie jedes Jahr wieder Apfelsaft herstellen. Wir haben nur eine sehr kleine Mosterei, aber es macht viel Spass.
    Es wäre schön in dieser Zeit jemanden hier zu haben, der Interesse daran hat. Die Zeit beginnt im September und geht etwa bis Ende Oktober. Es ist ein Hobby, wir haben nur ein paar Apfelbäume, aber es macht Freude, das Obst zu nutzen.

    Update 07.01.2024
    Dieses Frühjahr planen wir unseren Hühnerhof zu bauen, neue Apfelbäume zu veredeln, die Bäume vom letzten Jahr zu pflanzen und ein Erdbeerfeld anzulegen.
    Wir essen Fleisch, sind also keine Vegetarier, aber wir wissen gerne, woher unser Essen kommt, weshalb wir so viel wie möglich selber anbauen. Jedes Jahr etwas mehr.

  • Help

    Help

    It would be good, if you are intrested in gardening, woodworking, natural medicin, if you love pets and nature and you should not have any allergies.
    The help we need is just private and has nothing to do with the guesthouse we rent out for tourists. We are working a lot and it's not enough time left for the garden and the pets.
    We always have some projects here to become more and more self sufficient. This year we are planning to build a chicken coop and a new greenhouse.

    Es wäre gut, wenn Du handwerklich geschickt bist, Tiere liebst, keine Allergien hast und auch an der Heilkunde interessiert bist. Die Hilfe, die wir brauchen, ist rein privat. Da wir beide sehr viel arbeiten, bleibt leider vieles in Garten oder bei den Tieren liegen. Mit der Vermietung unseres Ferienhauses hat die Arbeit nichts zu tun.
    Wir haben hier immer einige Projekte, da wir versuchen mehr und mehr Selbstversorger zu werden. Dieses Jahr ist geplant einen Hühnerstall zu bauen und eventuell auch das alte Gewächshaus zu erneuern und verbessern
