Experience Danish culture and help on a small farm in Sakskøbing, Denmark

Details

  Description

  We are a Danish family of 5 (Grandmother, Mother, Father, and our two daughters) living on an old ‘farm’ in the countryside, approximately 1 hour and 45 min, south of Copenhagen.
  
  We enjoy the outdoor life and feel that our place is quite magical with its surrounding forest and open hills. It is also outdoors where we love spending time around other people, talking and sharing stories while we work the garden, build a shed, or stack some firewood.
  Especially tending our (rather large) organic vegetable garden is something we really appreciate and love doing.
  
  We aim to live a sustainable lifestyle, where recycling and buying used rather than new whenever we can are of great importance to us.
  
  We love having visitors around and always strive to welcome people with big smiles and open arms.
  As much as we enjoy opening our home and being around people, it is also important for us as a family to have some degree of privacy and be able to close the door when needed.
  
  We have previously hosted Workawayers and really enjoyed the experience. We are therefore looking for help again with a wide range of tasks—such as working in our vegetable garden, painting, and assisting with minor DIY projects.
  Ideally, we are looking for 1–2 people, aged 25 or older, who are self-reliant and keen to join us and take part in the various tasks we need help with.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Staying with us, you will get a glimpse of danish culture and experience living with a family of many ages.
  You will get an insight into our approach to establishing and tending a large garden, and getting your hands dirty (literally) by learning about growing plants and vegetables.
  Here you can enjoy a silent haven with beautiful surrounding nature.
  
  We drive to Copenhagen weekly, so catching a ride to go and explore Denmark's capital is something we would definitely recommend you do.

  Help

  We are looking for help with expanding and tendering our rather large vegetable garden. We aim to redo parts of the garden using permaculture principles. Tasks may include planting, weeding, collecting vegetables, preparing fruits and seeds, cutting trees, preparing firewood, etc. Other indoor activities may include painting walls and house cleaning.
  Some assignments need to be accomplished in collaboration with others, and some tasks might be individual.
  We are looking for highly motivated people who are not afraid to get their hands dirty. We don't expect you have any professional skills, as long as you are curious, eager to learn, and has a positive outlook on life.

We will cook supper every day and on some evenings we all dine together, and on other days food will be served for pick-up.
