    Description

    In the forest in Sweden we are building up our dream. We are a couple that live in a old mission house with our children 6 and 3years old. Some friends live around in other houses. Our vision is to live a simply but rich, fully and truthful life. We have a garden with many permaculture principles, chickens and 4 bee hives and two toplist hives (empty at the moment). Many building projects. Yoga, meditation and healthy living is important in our life. Also spend time in the forest and paddling kayak is fun.

    Right now are situation is that the kids need the most of our time so the looking fore independent grown up people that can take care of them self and things around them. To be ready to do fysical work and have some practical experience is helpful. In the spring April-end of May gardening has a big priority.

    Right now its time to make fire wood. House keeping and handy hands is also always welcome. Someone that would like to do a longer stay could also find some payed work.

    Fore handy peaple that would like to spend a longer time and have there own house in the forest its possible. But the house currently lack water and indoore toilet. But if you are handy and ready to spend a long time in the are its possible to connect the water again.

    Peace to all
