  Description

  My name is Oskar. I'm 28 years old . After traveling around the flat world as a work away, helping others set up their projects, learning and teaching the permaculture ways. I finally decided it was time for my own project.
  
  The vision:
  To revive an antique system and practice for healing chronic disease. I aim to develop a donation-based healing retreat center for people to come and take "the milk diet". I am in the very beginning with my first 2 clients so far, and pleased to say it has been a success. The treatment was used in the antique by the father of medicine himself, Hippocrates. And later repopularized in Germany, the swiss alps, and the most well-known in the early 1900s Dr. Charles Sanford Porter in the USA. Who helped cure thousands of patients from all types of severe chronic illnesses.
  
  I discovered for myself how wonderful goat milk is when I was traveling in Portugal and got access to it for the first time in my life. The strength and calm i got from consuming raw goat milk made me inspired to learn more. After that, I started diving into the literature, and read every book I could find. finding out that goat milk has been used for millennia to cure disease made it clear to me what i wanted to do.. With lots of effort and the help of 30 wonderful goats. I can now say I am proud to have reached a few big milestones already.
  
  My vision is also to be self sufficient on the land and produce an abundance of food, both from the soil and animal agriculture. To sell cheese, fresh milk and gelato. If everything goes according to plan, my first official business will be selling goat milk gelato in an ice cream caravan at the beach by next summer season...
  
  I've studied and taught permaculture for many years and know a lot about growing crops aswell as taking care of animals. I wish to teach others what I've learnt and practice today.
  
  I love this work more than anything else. It is however quite time-consuming for me with all that needs to be done. Which is why having a workaway exchange has been such a blessing. I am a carpenter and beekeeper by trade, currently my focus is on the farm though. But I just might do some carpentry work a few days here and there, which would mean i’m away for a workday at a time. In which case you will be accompanied by the goats alone.
  
  I am preferably looking for a workaway that is not vaccinated/ know whats up with the WEF and WHO, or at least open-minded to know what is going on behind the scenes of the ever emerging “global government”. This is not because i require others to think exactly like I do..but a basic test of your spiritual maturity. To select for the people that l am most comfortable holding space for. Based on my own experience and knowledge, people with a bit of knowledge is the ones i resonate the best with.

  You will be staying at my house, in your own private room. I provide dinner/supper . Leftovers are used for lunch if I'm not at home you are also free to cook food with whatever I got,
  Free access to fresh goat milk and goat milk kefir :D
  
  I eat mostly an ancestral type diet with focus on quality foods. I eat a fair share of local organic meats, I ofc eat goat cheese, drink goat milk, kefir, yoghurt etc, And I enjoy a variety of fruits and vegetables.
  
  I make coffee in the mornings.
  
  I do not eat much of the foods like grains, beans, green leafy vegetables, etc but rather feed that to my goats.. I do enjoy pizzas and baked goods on occasion, cookies and stuff. But i just don't go out of my way to include these items in my diet. And only eat it if it is made with real ingredients.
