    Description

    We are a small family living in the north parts of Sweden with our animals.
    Me, Ida 36y/o, work as a teacher educating animal keepers and my partner Oskar 356y/o work with wood chippers. We have a daughter Clara, 6y/o.

    We live on a small 7 hectare farm with an amazing view over the forests and mountains.
    Living with us on the farm is 2 cats, 2 dogs, 2 horses and a whole bunch of free range chickens.

    Our village is small (about 100 residens) but have almost everything you need - forest, a view, a lake perfect for swimming and nice neighbors.
    In the next village about 6km away, have a food store and gas station.
    Closest city is Östersund, about 40km.

    We are looking for someone/ a couple/ 2 friends that are willing to help us out in the spring and summer chores that needs to be done. Example of things we need help with is fixing the fences, making the pastures ready for summer, starting up the kitchen garden. There might be some building and painting.
    We also would like support in cooking and walking the dogs. You will need to be able to also work on your own sometimes.

    But no worries! There will also be time for forest walks, a trip to the mountains or just relaxing on the lawn ☀️

    We welcome your skills and wishes of tasks 🌱🐴🐔
