Gardening, painting and help around the farm in Sipoo, Finland

Details

• 

  Description

  I'm Georg living in South Coast of Finland. This small area is called Herrala, it’s in village of Sipoo. I live in a countryhouse and I have a small farm. At the moment i don´t have any animals only a cat. My passion is clean food and that's why I started with ecological farming four years ago.
  
  I favor ecological food. I am also interested about self-sufficiency, herbal medicine and wild food.
  I´m also intrested in yoga and meditation, so it would be nice to have a workawayer that could teach me more about it,.
  
  I have been started to renovate a old house here on my farm, it would be nice to have someone who would be intrested helping me with it, like painting windows, walls. And also i would love to have some help with the garden and to take care of my home.
  
  I´m also intrested in traveling, it would be nice to meet new people and travel with theme.
  
  I have had around 12 workawayers four last years. The experinces with them has been wonderful! I think that sharing daily life and doing things together are the salt of life!

  What else ...

  In my main house I have wifi. Also the surrounding area is great to do outside activities, the nature is close. I am also living near a lake and the sea, so it’s possible to join me on the boat to take a trip to the sea. I have a car so it’s easy to move to grocery store or somewhere else, also I don’t mind if you want to do something around the farm on your own.
  
  Distance from my place to the small centre of Nikkilä is 3km. There is grocery store, cafe, library, hairdresser and so on.
  You can borrow a bike from me if you want to take a small bicyckle excursion to our village.
  
  Distance from my farm to Helsinki 37km and Porvoo 23km (also good bus connections)
