Description
What is it about? Well our place has become some kind of a retreat for well beeing, an experience vacation stay, a hop cultivating farm and a place filled with self-sustaining projects, food courses, youth empowerment, as well as a place for mental developent and not at least we are a small but great festival site.
After a couple of years with great people, projects, experiences, success and fun, I have decided to change some things that year. My mum will retire and want to spend this summer in one of our houses here and I will travel a bit more my self and even focus on some other stuff than just our beloved Torrskog.
So what will expect you?
In the beginning of spring (April and May) we will together prepare our hop field, the gardening as well as some minor carpenting work. And we will have some party.
After that (from June) starts something exciting for you (I am sure) if you like. You will have your own cabins, you will have your own kitchen and quite a lot of your own life. Your "duties" will mainly be to check the the garden and the hops (not very difficult ;)), the animals (chicken and rabbits), looking after and maintain the houses and helping my mum if she needs some help (like I wrote, she has her own house and kitchen). You will have some (minor) responibilities but a lot of fun and I think a good time!
Then in the beginning of July I plan to have this years festival and in the end of august starts the harvest and the taking-care-of of all the heriloom varieties, the hops and much more (like somking fish for the winter,.... ;))

I can teach or help you (if it feels right) in some spiritual skills
You will learn a lot about things you don't know yet... tobacco fermentation, craftwork,.....

It would be fantastic if you had some skills or at least some feeling for gardening and carpenting.
And that you like to work independently with the other workawayers... and maybe that you love to take responsibilities.... But in the end it's important to remeber that our maxime is fun and joy!!!
The work itself is probably not difficult. The hop garden needs its spring preparation and summer maintainance as well as the garden. The chicken needs you every day - even just for a short time: water and food and from time to time cleaning the stable.
The other part will be to maintain the old loghouses. Its not difficult if you have some basic skills in woodwork and using tools. In any case, you will learn how to manage most of the task during the time I'm on the farm site and later you can always call and ask! So no panic, it will be chill and fun :-))
! Whats important: Be sure that you love to be physical active! You will move your body a lot. Then be sure that you can stay focused and remember tasks correctly! And: Be sure about your skills and what you need help with, so we can do the best out of everything!
Social interaction is another very important aspect! If we for some reasen don't cope, we will talk about it directly to keep an honest and harmonic balance!
