Description
Hey :)
We are an italian-danish family of 4 (kids from '18 and '20) and a cat. We recently bought a small farmhouse on the island of Bornholm, where we are slowly turning the 2 hectares of grassland into a bountiful food forest garden and a haven for insects and wildlife. We are primarily planteaters and our goal is to become as self-sufficient with food as possible.

I had to travel one week abroad and I was so happy that Lola wrote to us, so she could take care of the house and the meals for the family while I wasn't home and Ask was at work. For me that was enough, but she had acually been very active around the farm and helped us… read more
She is great with children, a good cook and a nice company :)
