  Description

  We can receive you immediately
  
  We who live and farm the farm for 18 years, are Tommy and Kent. (a married gay couple) Tommy also works in the Healtcare and is away some days from the farm
  We carefully restored our old farmhouse built in 1842. We restores and opens up the village that grew again. In addition, we have the help of our animals, which are old Swedish lanterns. We preserve these breeds by catching on. gene banks. The animals also make us self-sufficient in meat. This year we will also grow up to grow some vegetables in a small vegetable garden. Hope the time is enough. We usually also milk some / some of the cows and try to make our own butter and cheese.
  
  We eat all food together and plan the day's work together.
  
  LGBTQ people are welcome
  
  
  we would love to have visitors from the usa and all states help us fulfill what we have had from georgia and arizona
  
  
  it can be good for allergy sufferers to know that we have dogs and cats
  
  unfortunately we have no possibility to receive vegetarians or vegans to our farm
  
  to get a good well-being so we are helped to clean in the public areas such as bathrooms and kitchens and that we cook together
  
  it is not difficult to be free and visit nearby areas or attractions that are in the resort
  
  we decide together when you come to the farm which days you want to be off and on those days you buy and cook your own food unless we agree otherwise
  
  on days off you can explore nearby sights with us or yourself or take the bus into the nearest city, we will be happy to inform you
  
  What we want to help with is, among other things
  To paint the houses
  cobble
  Care animals
  Milking cows (season)
  Cut by
  Build new hills and fix the old ones
  Trap animals between the gardens
  höhantering
  renovate our old earth cellar
  Renovate and painting old Windows
  and an old timber building
  
  Yes, everything that belongs to the daily life of a farm.
  We have a pretty big hangover so it can pop up people here and then.
  Then we take a coffee and sing and play together.
  We also have a forest lake two kilometers from the farm, where there is really silence and one can really hear the silence. You can also swim there.
  In the courtyard there are several buildings:
  Two residential buildings that we renovate (one without modern standards, used to be used as a school)
  stable
  barn
  stolpbod
  hay barn
  threshing
  An old earthquake from 1852 (we need help to mura a bit so it is restored)
  Hot and cold water is available in the main house.
  
  We are social and nice love to talk building care and renovation, color and shape. About the animals and cultural history.
  To some extent politics (Tommy is active politically)
  We open up our home to you and think it will be fun to get to know you ...
  Welcome to the farm in a small Finnmark village!

  Vi som bor på och brukar gården sedan 18 år tillbaka, är Tommy och Kent . ( vi är gifta) Tommy jobbar även inom vården och är borta vissa dagar från gården. i år 2024 söker vi Hbtq folk som vill förverkliga sin dröm att bo på landet men givetvis är alla välkomna med varsam hand vår gamla finngård byggd 1842. Vi restaurerar och öppnar även upp byn som vuxit igen. Till detta har vi hjälp av våra djur som är gamla svenska lantraser. Vi bevarar dessa raser genom att avla i sk. genbanker. Djuren gör också att vi är självförsörjande på kött. I år ska vi även föröka oss på att odla lite grönsaker i en liten köksträdgård. Hoppas tiden räcker till. Vi brukar också mjölka någon/några av korna och försöka oss på att göra eget smör och ost.
  Vi äter alla mål gemensamt och planerar dagens arbeten tillsammans. Det vi vill ha hjälp med är bl.a
  att måla husen
  snickra
  sköta djur
  kapa ved
  bygga nya hagar och laga de gamla
  valla djur mellan hagarna
  höhantering
  Ja allt som hör det dagliga livet till på en gård.
  Vi har ett ganska stort umgänge, så det kan dyka upp folk här då och då.
  Då tar vi en fika och sjunger och spelar tillsammans.
  Vi har även en skogstjärn två km från gården ,där råder det verkligen stillhet och man hör verkligen tystnaden Det går att bada där också.
  På gården finns flertalet byggnader:
  två bostadshus som vi renoverar (det ena utan modern standard, har förr även används som skola) en visthusbod
  stall
  ladugård
  stolpbod
  hölada
  tröskloge
  en gammal jordkällare från 1852 (som vi behöver hjälp att mura lite på så den blir återställd)
  
  
  Vi är sociala och trevliga älskar att prata byggnadsvård och renovering, färg och form. Om djuren och kulturhistoria.
  I viss mån politik (Tommy är aktiv politiskt)
  Vi öppnar upp vårt hem för er och tycker att det ska bli kul att lära känna er...
  Välkommen till gården i den lilla finnmarksbyn!
