Description
We are a couple in our 50s. We have decided to be self-sufficient and grow all the root vegetables and most of the vegetables we eat. We have chickens for eggs and meat. We want to live in a sustainable way, in harmony with nature, ecologically and know what we put into us. We want to avoid contributing to environmental destruction. We have also bought an abandoned house which we are now carefully renovating, according to old methods and applying reuse and natural building materials. We are now looking for volunteers, preferably couples or pairs of friends, who are interested in gardening or building maintenance, renovation, carpentry. We are starting to get worn out in our bodies and therefore need help, mostly with work and in the garden and smaller projekt in the house. We live 3 km from the house we are renovating and the garden where we do most of the growing. You who come to us as a volunteer have access to your own apartment next to the house we live in. The apartment has one bedroom, bathroom with toilet and a livingroom with kitchen area. Here are bicycles to use.

Vi är ett par i 50 + åldern. Vi har gått in för att vara självhushållare och odlar alla rotfrukter och de mesta grönsakerna vi äter. Vi har hönor för ägg och kött. Vi vill leva på ett hållbart sätt, i samklang med naturen, ekologiskt och veta vad vi stoppar i oss. Vi vill undvika att bidra till miljöförstöring.
Vi har även köpt ett ödehus som vi nu varsamt renoverar, enligt gamla metoder och tillämpar återbruk och naturliga byggmatetial. Vi söker nu volontärer gärna par eller kompispar, som är intresserade av byggnadsvård, renovering, snickeri och/eller trädgårdsarbete.
Vi börjar bli slitna i våra kroppar och behöver därför hjälp, mest I trädgården men även med renoveringsarbeten.
Vi bor 3 km från huset vi renoverar och trädgården där vi odlar det mesta. Ni som kommer till oss som volontär har tillgång till en egen lägenhet bredvid huset vi bor i. Lägenheten har ett sovrum, badrum med dusch och toalett, samt ett stort allrum med köksdel. Det finns cyklar att använda. -
