  Description

  Hi, my name is Carmen. I am an artist, teacher, nature and design lover, mother of 3. I am living with my family on Orust an island north of Gothenborg. We have many interesting gardening projects, permaculture, mushroom farming, vegetables,... Smaller renovation things in and around the house. Planing to construct a pizza oven soon. Baking surdough bread every week. So I am sure there is something to learn for you. We are nature lovers, like going fishing or just kajaking. The sea is less then a km away, there are also beautiful lakes and a nice Cafe in the village less than a 5 min walk...// We are not a commerical farm, although I am starting a commerical mushroom farm. It would be awsome if you have an interest for kids- and also like to hang out with them. you can borrow our bycicles or kajaks in you free time.

  Help

  I would mainly love to have help with gardening, planting, harvesting, cutting and control grass, shifting stuff around, On the other hand I would also love to have some help with the children, like playing games or language exchange. Help in the kitchen would also be lovely. -preparing meals or doing the dishes as I have many side projects - like sourdough baking, kombucha brewing. We are only looking for help for non commercial projects. But I am happy to show you my mushroom projects and small scale commercial mushroom growing utilities.

  Accommodation

  I have a small room with two beds as a little outdoor cabin, privat excess to a bathroom in the basement. Possibly one more room in the basement in case I have 3 guests or 2 persons wanted to have a separate room. But that does not work over longer periods as we use this room our selves quite frequently. We love good food and cook a lot, in summer mostly fresh stuff from our garden. We eat meet but our daughter is vegetarian with making exceptions if it's our own animals...(for now this is pig) You are welcome to share your knowledge or dishes if you want to.
