    Description

    Hey, I am Olivia, working as a regenerative veggie farmer in Southern Sweden. I live in a small community, and share a big old house with Mare and Friso and their two small kids who both work as creatives (designer and artist). Last years I started a regenerative veggie farm on the land next to the house and for this year, I am expanding.

    Coming spring/summer I need help with all different types of regenerative gardening. Experience is not needed but you have to like to get your hands dirty and move your muscles ;). Working with the soil is both hard work and very delightful since the soil gives so much back. You will have a big tent to stay in and share the bathroom in the old (very comfortable house).

    The village where you stay is a very cosy place with an international young creative community around. A stay with us will give you the opportunity to experience a cosy life on the Swedish country side. It is calm and peaceful but we meet up with our friends/neighbours regurlary to celebrate random tuesdays, birthdays or lazy sunny afternoons.
