Details

  Description

  We are a family (Mom, Dad, and 3 children) residing on a small organic farmstead in Djursland, Denmark. Our family divides our time between the farm and our ship, an old wooden minesweeper from the Cold War. Its a non profit, volunteer based, organisation.
  
  About our own home - the farm - The "production" of wine and wine yard maintenance - it contains 70 bottles a year - and all in all time spend in a year maintaining and producing is abut 5-7 days. Itś pure family project - we are not selling any products.
  
  A typical day on the farm begins with the essential tasks of feeding the animals, checking the fences, and collecting eggs. From there, the day’s project begins, which could include:
  
  Maintaining the vineyard and overseeing wine production
  Managing the garden and processing vegetables
  Conducting repairs and upkeep on the buildings
  Researching and launching new creative projects in the area
  Organizing events aboard the ship
  Hosting and social time spending with volunteers and artists in residents
  Cozy time at the harbor or small fishing boat adventures
  Sharing expertise in boat-building and related crafts
  Undertaking various tasks in the workshop, including construction and repairs
  
  We are prioritizing good food, cozy times, creative ideas and enjoying the surroundings which is fabulous nature.
  
  For a living I am (sara) self employed carpenter, but soon to be at maternity leave. My husband Christoffer is yard sailing instructor and supervisor in navigation theory.
  
  We are looking forward to spend time together with you, sharing ideas, cultural exchange and having fun!
