  • Description

    Description

    A small oasis 14 km from the center of Copenhagen. Help us in the small fruit ochard and other parts of our big permaculture garden. We are a family of 5 (kids age 18, 15 and 12). We have chickens, ducks, cats and a dog. We run a small vegetable CSA business, and sell vegetable to local families. But your help will not be in the business but in our private part of the farm. Easy acces to Copenhagen by train, bus and bicycle.
