Help
This year I need help renovating the house. Painting the house with line-oil-based paint. Fixing the windows and other wood details is also needed. I will show how I want it to be done but you need to have some experience and be independent in your work. Experience is therefor required. If you are a several people travelling together you can help each other or one can help at the farm. I also have two small kids part time and a household to take care of by myself, so as we live under the same roof I expect you to help out in the household.
In the end of July and through August and September we open our farm shop for customers as the crops are ready for harvest. Most of it is done manually, among other things you will join us as we make bundles of carrots and beetroots by hand on the field. We sort them, clean them, store them and often times they go directly to the shop and the customers hands. We also take care of all the vegetables, that means weeding, fixing in the greenhouses and making everything look nice.Languages spoken

Living here with us would mean you have a room on the farm where we also live, sometimes we cook and eat together but there is also a kitchen where you can have meals. The day begins at 8 am and you'd work until your 5 hours has gone, you can also choose to work a whole day to have the next day more free to explore the surroundings.
What else ...
Ås is a village not far from the city of Östersund. There are bicycles to be borrowed and bus to take to go there. We also live 1,5 h from the mountains where you could go hike. Its very nice to enjoy the nature of Jämtland. In august/september there are berries in the woods, blueberries, cloudberries and lingonberries. And a lot more to do!
