Description
With your great support as volunteers, we’ve already come a long way on our journey. Thank you for your help over the past two summers ♥
Since we can’t travel the world right now, we’re bringing the world to us – and that means you! Come stay with us, share stories, and let’s make memories together!
march 2025
Welcome to our farm in northern Sweden!
We are an open-minded and benational family consisting of Undine (german, 29 - craftswoman and artist) and Simon (swedish, 43- social worker and emergency services), along with our son Tilmar (8 - explorer). This year our friend Helena and her daughter gonna stay here as well to trie out a live toghether.
Additionally, we share our home with Leaf, the best dog in the world, and Mingus, Tilmar's cat companion.
And we are planning to get chickens the upcoming summer as well.

Our long-term goal is to transform the farm into a place of rich biodiversity, encounter and exchange. In the following years, we want this place to become a collective ownership. We believe in the value of cooperation ♥
The farm offers a beautiful environment, surrounded by lot of nature and beautiful landscapes. You will have the opportunity to discover the beauty of Sweden, go hiking in the wilderness, and swim in clear rivers.
We look forward to welcoming you as part of our family :)

You can stay in our newly furnished guest room or in a simple small cottage, our "Torp," which is just a few kilometers away and entirely for your own use. We will share the kitchen, and in the bathroom, there is a shower and a water-flushed toilet.
We expect more or less 5 hours of work per day, for arround 5 days per week. However, please note that we often work on weekends as well, and we maintain a flexible schedule throughout the week.
We're a vegetarian family. You'll always find food in the house and fridge. We can be flexible in how we organize our meals, whether we each prepare our own or enjoy them together.
What else ...
Näsåker is a fascinating village with many creative people. You can borrow one of our cars or bicycles to explore the surroundings. Additionally, there is a bus that goes to Sollefteå or Höga Kusten. In early August, Näsåker hosts a large world music festival called Urkult.

You were a great help to us and we already miss your friendly nature and helpfulness. I am still impressed by how well you thought along and helped independently.
We look forward to seeing you again!
You were interested in trying out new things and coped well with rather annoying tasks! It's nice to see how much you care about all animals.
Thank you for your help! We wish you a good journey through life ♥
The work I did was really exciting and interesting.
And hosts did everything they could to make me comfortable.
Thanks a lot 😃
