    Description

    Come!
    A small family living in an old farmhouse (build 1886). I , Lehmus, am an freelancer artist making performances and sometimes music/sound. We have an organical garden with some fruittrees, chickens and 2 cats. We have all kinds of work to do, everything from building, (greenhouse, some watersystem etc.) gardening, teaching spanish/english etc. picking berries and mushrooms from the forest (autumn), cooking and taking care of animals. It's good if you can work independently.
    We have a lake and a beach very near,perfect for swimming and kayak and bikes to use too. Also a big wooden sauna at the yard. You can have your own room or sleep in a tent or park your van at the yard or shared room, let`s see. It looks like our home is going to be an recidency for artists and activists and there is still a lot to do. We are looking forward to meet you and work together also for more antirasist and intersectional feminist world!
