    Description

    We are Tim and Ellian and we have 3 children, 2 girls and 1 boy
    ( 8, 6 & 1 year old ).
    We live in a beautiful home in the midst of nature. We just bought the house in April 2025 and we want to make a vegetable garden, a fruit garden, and a beautiful place where we can give workshops about edible plants and herbs.
    We have 3 dogs, 4 sheep, a bunch of chickens, 4 cats and 4 rabbits.
    The house stands on a property of 1,7 acres. It lies in the midst of nature in between meadows and forests.

    All help is welcome!

    We want to make this place flourishing again.

    We are always working on projects on the land and in june we want to start making a wooden building where we can give ceremonies and workshops. Also there is work to do on renovating the home if interested.

    On the land we have to make new fences for the animals, plant herbs, vegetables and fruits, plant new trees and take down the dead trees.

    Tim owns a forestry business so you can learn about taking down trees, making fences, planting new trees but also work on an excavator if interested.

    Ellian owns a crystalshop and can give workshops about medicinal herbs, orthomolecular nutrition and wild, edible herbs and plants.

    Help with the kids is also very welcome.

    We will do tasks together where you can learn new skills but there will also be tasks that you can do on your own.
