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 out 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.
GENERAL HELP
I am looking for someone to help at the farm as well as house- and pet sit when I am away - 2 horses, 5 ducks and 1 cat. Minimum stay 4 weeks.
* Looking after the animals - no skills needed
* Pet sitting
* Gardening
* Cooking
* Cleaning
* Organizing
* Differents chores done at a farm

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Building a community will have pretty much the same values anywhere in the world but we can add the freedom of moving freely in the forests and how we care for the animals as family members. You will learn how to take care of multiple animals, to feel responsability. You will also get to practice communication skills, both the language and how to express your feelings and needs.
Help
I would like some help with:
1. Some carpentry projects - big and small and finishing touch on previous projects
2. Gardening - maintaining and/or making new projects
3. General help in the house
4. Cooking and cleaning
5. Pet- and house sitting sometimes
Please let me know if you want to help with any of the above.

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!
A little more information
Internet access
Limited internet access
We have pets
We are smokers
Can host families
Can host digital nomads
Internet is available via network cable and an ethernet connection. Trying to minimize the wireless things we use everything wired in the house - no wifi, no bluetooth. When pet sitting internet might be restricted since the mobile internet follows when travelling.
Space for parking camper vans
Camper van can be brought and will be placed where space available at the time. More people are staying at the area sometimes and flexibility is needed.
Can possibly accept pets
Not if staying in the house since there is already one cat who needs a sacred space.
