Description
Update: We are currently looking for a volunteer to join us straight away and stay for a couple of weeks or longer. <3
Hello and welcome to Gransjö, a big unique house in the southern Swedish countryside, surrounded by beautiful nature, lakes and forests. We are two friends in our 30s living here along with plenty of rescue animals: six cats, one dog and three horses. Some of our passions are animals, vegetable growing, sustainability, meditation, spirituality, old houses, old things, sewing, traditional carpentry and crafts, cold and warm swims. Sunniva has her own business working as a traditional painter/wood worker and goes away to work for two-three weeks at a time. Carmen is working creatively with her own business from home. We grow a lot of our own food, working on being more and more self sufficient.
The help:
We are looking for help with general maintanence around the farm and inside the house. For example cutting and chopping firewood, fixing fences, cleaning the yard etc. We are happily inviting a person who enjoys physical work around the house and farm. :D
I hope this sounds interesting! If it does, please send me a message where you describe yourself and your interests and experiences. Looking forward to hearing from you!

We love to connect with people from around the world and share experiences, dinners, laughters and languages. Being a host for many years now, we really enjoy the kind of friendships you can build when living and working so close together around the farm. We are happy to share our experiences from this lifestyle in areas such as permaculture, house care, traditional swedish painting and building techniques, animal friendly animal care :) and everything else that comes with living on the countryside close to nature. <3
