    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.
