Description
We are a Latvian family (Arta, Artūrs and two kids - Sāra and Augusts) living in countryside 23 km from Tukums. We live in an old farm near a small lake with a lot of green fields around. To not get bored, we love to do different things. Most of the things around the house we do during summer time. Artūrs is a musician, Arta is a graphic designer and kids are artists of life :) We miss people in our place and that is the main reason to invite workaway people. We love to travel and we love travelers. During summer, spring and autumn we normally have festivals, kids camps, weddings and other different events. We like to do gardening, woodworks and art projects. At home we pick up a lot of berries, brew beer, gather herbal tees, make gardens.

Accommodation
Before the summer season starts, we have plenty of different places. The first thing we want to do together with workaway people is rebuilding their own place from old farmhouse to nice and creative place. Before that they will have one own room, bathroom and kitchen.
What else ...
Place is a bit in the end of nowhere, public transport goes two times a day, closest shop is 5km. We can offer bicycles to see surroundings. Closest village Jaunpils (9km) is very nice, here we have some hiking places around and other nice places to see.

They are wonderful, friendly people and we got to share some of their lives, helping around the farm, making and bottling some of Artūrs delicious beers, getting lifts into Tukums, enjoying time on the beach, walking through the forests picking pine cones and blueberries, meeting… read more
In terms of working, You can't imagine better helping hands - Matt and Jo helped us a lot even with the most hopeless jobs (like washing 200 old bottles). They don't just do the job, but make sure that it's done properly… read more
They want to spend time with you, to share their table and moments with you.
This is a very rare place.
