Beschreibung
We are Enni and Markus, a warm-hearted couple living in the countryside in central Finland with our kids Reino(4) and Iita(1), a small herd of sheep and flock of chickens. We are continuing the farm that has been running in Markus’s family for six generations and now we would love to have people here to help us and bring their stories to us. The farm is really in the middle of forest and fields so you can enjoy the peace and quite here.
The volunteering tasks will be helping around the house, taking care of our hobby sheep, helping with the garden where we grow our own food, maintaining and helping renovating our old farm house and help with different kind of personal projects.
We have been traveling quite a lot before and have had some very nice workaway experiences in Asia which inspired us to offer this kind of opportunity to other travelers now as a host. We enjoy a lot meeting new people and learn about other cultures.
A little more about Enni and Markus:
Enni: I moved with Markus to this farm about 5 years ago and wow what a journey it has been! My first profession is a piano teacher but after that I studied a new career with numbers and now I am working as an accountant for 3 days a week from home. I am fascinated about making yarn traditional way out of our sheep wool. If you have at all interested in that, I would be more than happy sharing my knowledge.
Markus: After a long search of myself I moved back to my roots to live sustainable life with my family. I studied agriculture and rural entrepreneurship and now I run my own coffee roastery on the farm. My hobbies are cooking and brazilian jiujitsu.
We both have been studied music previously so we have variety of instruments around that are free to play if you like. We are easy-going and open-minded and we truly appreciate the nature around us. Our goal is to create a sustainable farm and live a great life with lovely people around us.

Arbeit
Depending on the time of the year, there is many different kind of help that is needed at the farm. In the spring and summer time there is a lot to do with the garden; planting, watering, weeding, harvesting, building new fences etc. During the autumn and winter you can help us with snow work, cleaning the outdoor buildings, take care of sheep, warming up buildings etc. We will teach you everything, your spirit and attitude towards working is more important than previous experience on farming. You can also help a lot with cooking, playing with our kids and helping around the house.

Unterkunft
You can stay at a cozy log cabin next to our house. There's an outdoor toilet close to the cabin and sauna is in the same building. During daytime you can spend time in our farmhouse, where we have everything you need, like toilet, shower, wifi and kitchen. For the summer we also have hammocks and tents that are free to use if you want to have a wilder experience.
Was noch ...
You can come here by bus or train. The closest train station is about 30 minutes ride from our farm and we can come to pick you up from there. The closest city is 1 hour drive away, but there's a small village about 15 minutes ride from our farm. We visit the village quite often, but please notice that we live very rural area and there isn't any public transportation from our farm. You can always use our bikes to get around the area.
If you want to visit the city (Jyväskylä) we can take you to the bus/train.
During your time off you can play our instruments, take hikes, go to the sauna, go fishing, meet friendly local people, play board games with us. If you have anything specific on your mind we are happy to help you! :)
