*Update June 2024: we won’t need workawayers until spring or autumn 2025.
We live on a small farm on the island of Bornholm, in Denmark. We have a big organic vegetable and flower garden and animals, which include 5 horses, 2 Kunekune pigs, 4 sheep, 2 cats, 7 ducks, a lot of chicken and 2 dogs. The farm is located close to the coast in a beautiful area.
We gather a group of workawayers a few times a year since this setting works well for us (and also for the volunteers!) Accordingly, this means that we prefer persons who can join the group for the whole period. We also prefer individual travelers since that creates the best group dynamics.
The work here is to help with different garden projects, general maintenance, stone paths, carpentering, weeding, painting, repairing and other farm work, mostly outdoors and some of it might be rather heavy work.
You will probably meet some of our children, Astrid (33)Janus (30) Emma (30)Freja (27) Oskar (26)and Iris (24)during weekends and holidays.
We train our dogs, horses and mini pigs with clicker training (positive reinforcement) and we use horsemanship with our horses.
Finn works full time outside the farm, but Susan works part time during the week and takes time off in the workaway period.Arten von Hilfe und Lernmöglichkeiten

Practical skills aquired from the many different tasks around the farm. A relaxed environment where you will feel at home in no time. It is also possible to borrow a car (you pay the gas yourself) or you can borrow a bike from us to explore the island. The friendship and fun in the small diverse group is also a lovely bonus.

Was noch ...
It may be possible to try to ride the horses, but as we ride differently to most riding schools you will only ride accompanied by someone who knows the horses - this is whether you have experience or not.
The name of the island is Bornholm (40.000 citizens) however the island is very popular during the summer. It is located in the Baltic sea and is closer to Sweden than to the rest of Denmark. It is the only place in Denmark with a rocky terrain and since the island is small you are never too far from the ocean (whether you like rocks, stone or sand beaches).
The farm is located right next to the ocean by "Teglkås", it is possible to swim from the coast. And there are hiking routes, for example to "Jon's Kapel".Etwas mehr Information

We stayed 4 weeks at Susan and Finn's farm, and the truth is we can not express how good we feel, how good they treated us and how good people they are! They helped us in everything, and without having much experience in farm and animals, they always advised us and teach us how to treat and feed them.
The organization that Susan has in… read more

I still remember Kris (workawayer) saying to me at my first day on the farm "We are in heaven" haha. And she was right. Both of them are very kind, they helped me whenever they saw the possibility, they were aware of my 5 hours working-time and never pushed me to do more.

Never met a couple of people as empathetic as Susan and Finn.
We had great local fresh food prepared by Susan, every day.
I had the pleasure to paint the walls of their stylish home.
Will remember those days 'in warm colors' :-)
