  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  At our house you can learn a lot about small scale farming and animalcare. My husband and the children speak German/ english and I speak Swedish / english. I am also a ridingteacher and yogateacher. We thought the idea of hosting people is a good experience for us and grate for the kids to meet people from other countries, and we can also use an extra hand with things around the farm.
