Description
Hi & thanks for looking at our profile! We are in a three-hectare homestead in the countryside of Finland. It's a permaculture garden and education centre in the making. We have some forest, lots of berry bushes and fruit trees, a traditional no-till vegetable garden and an old house and other buildings, and always lots of projects to work on!
This is a small place, so we only have projects for one wwoofer at a time and for no longer than about one week at a time.
We, Lumia and Dominik, are a finnish-german married couple, no kids, one cat. We live in a rural area, no neighbors in sight here, so you really get to enjoy peace and quiet, sauna, nature... welcome!
Organic methods: We are a home-sized farm/homestead, not certified in any way. We do not use any pesticides, herbicides or synthetic fertilisers on our premises. We are a permaculture paradase in the making and also have a rather large organic, no-till annual vegetable garden where we mulch and crop rotate.
Preferred hosting time: from a few days to about two weeks. Internet access is available.
Welcome!
