Beschreibung
2016 was our first year with workaway. We had a wonderful time with wonderful people and learned a lot - even about ourselves.
With this experiences we continued with workawayers. So still we are looking for help and exchange of knowledge and culture for our very small permaculture farm in the East Vättern Scarp Landscape Biosphere Reserve, South of Sweden.

We live in a huge house with our cats Missan and Molly. Outside we are surrounded by goats, ducks and hens - and forrest. We are growing organic vegetables just for ourselves and our volonteers. We make biochar to improve ours soil and we are trying to enhance biodiversity around us.
Here we try to live in a sustainable way to contribute our part to save the future of humanity.

After work we really like to sit down and eat together with workawayers and discuss thoughts about all items we can find. That makes all of us wiser.

Welcome to contact us and please, ask questions!

Was ist das?
Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten
Your can learn together with us to make biochar, how to grown organic vegetables, what is permaculture and how to take care of animals. We can discuss about live, future and what’s important, what counts?
We can show you our countryside and the next town (20 km away).
And - we are open for new peoples and cultures. Let's learn together! Welcome!
Arbeit
We always need help with cleaning up all branches that our goats have stripped off and make bio charcoal off it.
Help us to grown vegetables and prepare the beds for next year. We need help with all needs in the household. Just that someone is in the kitchen is a very important help for us. There is so much more: painting, fighting weed, cleaning the stables.
We change the electrical fences for the goats, we prepare the winter stables for them and give them hey and fresh water.
And meet our wonderfull animals like Tuva the mind-reader, Sowilo the sun, Vynja the wild (the goats) and har doughter Maggy (the wildest of all).
The chickens like Uschi, Astrid, Rauti and the roosters Mix, Karl and Jules. The ducks like Kajsa, Nina, Daphne and Vera and the male named Magic.
Last but not least; our young cats Missan and Molly, wild and cuddly.

We always need to practise English and Spanish.
Unterkunft
We live in a little village with four houses and great neighbors.
You get your own room in the house we live in.
We eat vegetarian season food, are open for vegan food. Normally, we eat together with our volunteers and have discussions and a great time after the work is done.
The bus stop for the bus 121 to Jönköping or Gränna is about 2.5 km from our house. You can also use one of our bicycles or we take a trip together by car.
The cats are living both inside and outside the house. That means unfortunatly we can not have guests with allergies or bringing there own cat or dog whit them. The goats are even afraid of dogs.
We have great Wifi, but bad TV.
Was noch ...
The biosphere reserve has lots of places to visit, like the lake Vättern, the island Visingsö and the picturesque town Gränna.
You can go out for a walk in the forests around us or take a bath in the lake Landsjö down the hills. We live about 20 km from Jönköping, in the middle between Malmö in the South of Sweden and Stockholm, the capitel of Sweden.
Or we can visit friends or neighbours for a cup of coffee or tea and only chat for a while. As you understand, this is not place for big party’s. Here you can hear nature.

Vom Workawayer (Lina) für Host

I stayed with Petra and Robin for about a week, so it was a very short stay. They were able to welcome me on a very short notice, which was very nice and generous of them. Despite the short duration of my stay, I really enjoyed staying at their place. From the very moment that Petra picked me up at the nearby bus stop, they made me feel welcome… read more and at home. Their home had a warm, cosy and pleasant atmosphere, where you can easily feel at home, and they have a gorgeous garden with lots of vegetable beds and different animals. During my stay, Petra had just started a new job at a police station, so she had to work quite a few night shifts. This meant that usually, she would be home in the morning to explain the tasks I would have to do that day, then she would leave for work around 1 o'clock and only come back at midnight. At the time of my stay, Robin was also quite busy preparing for the upcoming EU elections, because he worked in the local municipality. Therefore, I didn't see him that much, but I did have dinner with him most evenings. Although both Robin and Petra were both quite busy with work during my stay, when either of them had the chance, we shared meals and had interesting discussions about a wide range of topics. I felt like they both really appreciated and enjoyed these moments that we did spend together, and they did make time to share meals with me as a workawayer. They were easygoing, laidback hosts, who didn't set the expectations too high in terms of the tasks I had to do. The tasks mostly involved taking care of the animals (chicken, ducks, goats) and gardening, which was enjoyable and not too difficult. All the tasks were well defined and explained, so it was clear what they expected me to do. During my free time, I explored the surrounding nature and the nearby cities of Jonköping and Grenna, and they were happy to give me tips and recommendations for these trips. Although I was sometimes all alone at their place, I also came to appreciate these moments of silence, when I was all by myself, more and more. These moments gave me more peace of mind and space for reflection. To conclude, I really enjoyed my stay at their place and I would definitely recommend them as hosts. If you are a workawayer traveling by yourself, I would however take into consideration that they might not always be around as much as other hosts, since they both went to work during the day. Since I only stayed for a short while and since I am okay with being by myself, I did not mind their busy work schedules. Moreover, Petra and I had been on a phone call before my arrival, in which she made it perfectly clear what their week schedule will look like, so I did know what to expect.

Our stay at Petras and Robins farm was wonderful! It's hard to put our memories into words but we will try our best: We did the Workaway exchange rather spontaneously, thus we only stayed for one week. A week that felt like the longest and shortest at the same time. Petra and Robin welcomed us so warmly into their lives that we felt comfortable… read more
