Description
I bought this farm a couple of years ago and I am now transforming it into a renovated two floor house, a big barn for having parties and gatherings and a place for different kinds of animals. I am creating a community and a place where people can live, meet and hang around in the countryside just outside of Eksjö in Sweden, 2,5 hrs by train from Stockholm. The surroundings are very nice and there is a lake just nearby. There are horses, cats and ducks living here too.
I am also running a boutique on the farm and a glamping along with events such as markets, dancing, yoga, meditation etc.
I would like some help with:

Differents chores done at a farm

GENERAL HELP
Right now I am looking for someone to help at the farm as well as house- and pet sit when I am away - 2 horses, some ducks and 2 cats - easy job. Other duties working here involve farm duties and renovation. Help can vary and if you have renovations skills it is a big plus but not crucial. Minimum stay 4 weeks, prefer longer stays.
If you have any of these skills, don´t hesitate to contact me. I am sorry for late replies but I will try to reply everyone eventually!

Accommodation
Staying together in a two floor house, simple accommodation since the house is under renovation. Simple but it will feel like a home and I always try to make us all feel a little privacy. Summertime I can also offer Glamping - camping outside in a tent with furniture. Living in the nature surrounded by fresh air and animals.
What else ...
Småland is a very popular area for tourists. It has beautiful surroundings and is picturesque. Eksjö is amazingly charming with its wooden houses in all different colors!
