Teaching
If you are willing to get things done - then tell us what you want to learn - and we may be able to teach you that.
We have resources to share.
After work we celebrate and play.
The farm is a wonderful place - everybody says, if the social aspect works.
You can do EU funded ERASMUS+ volunteerships here, with paid travel and pocket money (if you are under 30). European Solidarity Corps.
For summer 2019 we are looking for the following skills for many projects:
- Building/carpentry
- Someone that can handle a sewing machine.
- Repair engines
- Acoustic musicians
- Do you know what LARP is?
- Can you film and edit?
- Do you know anything about off-grid electricity?
If you lack skills, but is highly motivated, we offer simpler activities. Work can be dirty, tiresome, boring, monotonous.
Don´t come here with any romantic ideas about farm life - better come with low expectations.
We try to welcome visitors with a dedicated interest in permaculture, transition, self sustainability, and people that have experience and skills in these areas. Or people that are strong and like to sweat.
If you contact us we will ask you one straightforward question:
What are your skills? What experiences do you have?
Any skill in what ever area. Any passion you would like to share?
Who are you? Where will you be in five years time?
We like working with people that see themselves actually doing the same things as us in the future.
Still reading? Good, most have probably stopped reading long ago and started looking for another farm.
