For that we are looking for friendly and engaged people who are happy to spend time in the area and in exchange help with gardening, painting, jobs around the house and the kids who love guests.

We are used to hosting people for short stay through volunteering sites and we like meeting new people and build our home with the help of old and new friends. We are mostly vegan and keep our house hold vegan/ vegetarian and no drugs of course with kids around.
we can offer accommodation in the form of a cosy wooden hut and potentially other camping option on the land if that is taken. we have an outdoor toilette and working on a shower and out door kitchen. For now workawayers are welcome to use the indoor kitchen. Our land has 2 cats which rule our world and are great to be around.
