Description
Our commune / intentional community is open for visitors for the preparation and implementation of our cultural festival. If we have times we will also do some garden work.
This is a small farm perched in the hilly landscape in the northwestern part of Zealand – between the embankment of Lammefjorden and the nearby coast of Sejerøbugten. We have 3,5 hectares of land, allowing for an orchard of 80 apple trees also populated by chickens, good soil for growing vegetables, a flock of Gotland sheep, solar panels, and a windmill.
But first and foremost we are a commune, founded exactly 40 years ago in 1984 and based on three notions of community: We live together. We take responsibility for our farm together. And together we strive and dream to make the world a better place.
It is situated approx. 80 km west of Copenhagen and is currently home to 5 adults and 3 kids. We are all employed outside the farm but spend time together to move the planet in a greener and kinder direction – in the microcosm of the farm itself, in our local community and by forming friendships through cultural exchange projects involving youth from different continents.Types of help and learning opportunities

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
The cultural festival has become a has recurring annual event with professional artists from Denmark and abroad. Before the festival we will set up the stages and ensure that the place is clean and appropriately decorated. During the festival day you will become part of a dedicated team of voluteers.
We will also do gardening as this is high season for harvesting. Our garden is based on no-dig and biodynamic methods of growing crops.Projects involving children

We offer basic, indoor accommodation with shared facilities. Our wooden shelter has a view and is a nice place to camp in warm weather. We will be happy to lend you a bike, so that you can explore the surrounding landscape.
We eat organic - and well. The diet is mostly vegetarian - and in summer harvested just outside. Sometimes we eat happy lamb meat from our own livestock, and somtimes we eat vegan. We usually take turns doing the cooking.What else ...
The nearest Danish Rail Network station is Jyderup, 7 kilometres away. The train ride from Copenhagen takes 1 h 5 m. From Jyderup you can take a local bus or we can arrange to pick you up.
Arriving by car from via the E20 motorway from the West, take exit 38 (Slagelse Ø). From the East take the exit 20 on the 21 motorway and follow the highway 155 through the town of Svinninge and further on to Snertinge.A little more information
