    A room with double bed inside my house where i live with my partner and sometimes my daughter. The workers have their own bathroom and they can use the house facilities as they are part of the family. They can use the e-bikes for excursions or just for fun and we escort them to the farm. We are going to built a couple of wood houses in the farm so in the next future they can choose to stay with us or live in the cabin in the forest.
