Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You may be inspired by our self-sufficiency style of life and may like to learn about gardening, wild edible plants, food-fermenting, permaculture etc. We are looking forward to have many interesting chats about everything between micro-life in the soil to global issues, dreams, hopes and fears for the future on this planet and many good laughs.
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
Most of the time we will work together in the garden. If you stay longer you will have some own areas of responsibility. A longer stay also makes it possible to learn more different tasks. The tasks here are very varied and follow the season, involving everything needed to be done in self-sufficiency gardening.
Except for gardening there could be some maintenance work, such as painting and also some cleaning such as widow sweeping, depending on the season.
Project for spring 23 is to install a new irrigation system.
