Description
Hello! Our name is Sophia (30 years) and Johan (33 years), together with our 2 children we live on a small farm in the country smide, but also near a small village (walking distance). Here we have our big dog, 2 cats, 50 chickens.
One horse to ride and one that is under training. And also 0.5 millions honeybees.
Our small farm is Eco, and we also work as a nurse and machine operator 4 and 5 days a week.

The farm is private homestead and we are only producing for your own consumption. Workawayers won't be helping with any tasks relating to the business. But if you want, you can get an insight into the business.

The farm is surrounded by fields and forest and a few km away there is a beautiful nature reserve with a river.

ATVs and tractors are available on the farm.
In our forest there is a barbecue area and a sauna, were we have our weekenddinner.

Johan's mother has mountain cows near our farm, very kind. There are also several horses that can be ridden.

She painted windows mostly by herself and she was very meticulous in the… read more
