*update 2020* we need a group of four to five Workaway’ers for the period 3.-30. May. For helping with different garden projects and general maintenance, stone paths, carpentering, weeding, repairing and other farm work, mostly outdoor and some of it can be heavy work.
We live on a small farm on the island of Bornholm, in Denmark. We have a big organic vegetable and flower garden and animals, which include 4 horses, 2 pigs, 4 sheeps, 2 cats, 4 ducks, a lot of chickens and a dog. The farm is located close to the coast in a beautifull area.
You will probably meet some off our children, Janus 27 years, Emma 27years, Freja 24 years, Oskar 23 years, and Iris 21 years in holidays and in summertime.
We train our dogs, horses and mini pigs with clicker training (positive reinforcement) and we use horsemanship with our horses.
Susan work part time during the week, so you will be working on your own sometimes.

Practical skills aquired from the many different tasks around the farm. A relaxed environment where you will feel at home in no time. It is also possible to borrow a car or bike from us to explore the island.
"Lots of work followed by copius amounts of wine and pizza" - Iain Lawson, workawayer
Most of the work is outside, mainly in the garden.
One of the main jobs needed will be feeding the animals and different gardenwork.
You will also be a part of the daily work in the household, including cooking, cleaning ect.

One big room for four.
It may be possible to try to ride the horses, but as we ride differently to most riding schools you will only ride accompanied by someone who knows the horses - this is whether you have experience or not.
The name of the island is Bornholm (40.000 citizens) however the island is very popular during the summer. It is located in the Baltic sea and is closer to Sweden than to the rest of Denmark. It is the only place in Denmark with a rocky terrain and since the island is small you are never too far from the ocean (whether you like rocks, stone or sand beaches).
The farm is located right next to the ocean by "Teglkås", it is possible to swim from the coast. And there are hiking routes, for example to "Jon's Kapel".
