Description
Hi, we are Janika and Risto. We have two children. Son is two and daughter few months. We live in this litle farm with chickens and cats. We used to have horses that employed us heavily so there is not so much need for help anymore than we used to have.
I might start building a houseboat so good builders are welcome. We might also put some vegetables groving. Very likely yes. We might also be helping with neighbors etc. So we will have something to do even without horses. I have started to clean this stack of planks. If it's still there we do that. In autum help is definately needed the most for harvesting. At home and in forest.
You will have a summer room at your disposal. Family or a group can stay there. We have this national park next door with a lot of birds in it. There's a river next to us if you like fishing and a swimming shore.
We eat a lot and we eat really well, because I'm a good chef. We eat all sorts of different foods. So be prepared to eat well. If need be, it is possible to cook only meat free foods during your stay and there is always food, snacks and sweets awailable for you.
There are bicycles for you to use freely and we have a car if you need to get somewhere. We live in the rural area 20 km from real cities. How ever there is many bigger cities in the possible range for a days visit if you want to explore them. The willage we live in has a gas station that is open daily and emergency store. A store that is open once week. Both are pretty busy if you are intetested. In summer there is a lot of events in Finland.
No plans yet. Let's see what the summer will bring.
