Help out around a small farm in Broagerland, South Denmark

Details

• 

  Description

  I am pensionist and a former academic librarian with additional education in organic farming.
  
  I’m Swiss-Danish origin and speak Swiss, Danish, German, English, and a little French. I bought this farm in Denmark in August 2021. I’m designing a garden (permaculture) and planted a forest in autumn 2022. There is always work around the house. I would like to welcome and invite Workawayers to work with me. I use EM (Effective Microorganism Prof. Higa) and biochar for the soil 😊
  
  Isn’t it essential in life, that we create memories, that we create memorial moments and experiences? I will recognize and respect your personality and meet you with interest in your person and your experiences. During your stay it should be a peaceful and harmonious togetherness.
  
  The house is an old house from 1900 and has an astonishing view over the Fjord. It's a every rural and quiet area.
  Workawayers have a big bedroom and a bath non attached.
  
  There are 3 cats, bees and chicken on the farm.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  South Denmark is a historically interesting area. I live in a small village 4 km from the nearest supermarket. Nearby there is Brickwork Museum, War Memorial Dyböl, Graasten castle and an old windmill from 1744. The landscape is gently hilly and there are two official beaches, but you might also jump into the water where you like to. An 84 km long hiking trail (gendarm trail) passes close to the house. Nearest major town: Sonderborg (13 km).

  Making meal for yourself or cleaning your room, or do the dishes after the meal is not counted as working hours.

  What else ...

  Would you like to sit in the backyard listening to the field larch? There are some comfortable chairs outside. The internet is fairly good also for streaming films. I have no TV.
  
  Please note that the closest bus is 4 km away. Bikes are available. It might be an advantage to come with your own car or a camper.
  
  Relevant info: Insurance coverage must be available (health and accident insurance).
  Bring work clothes (shoes, trousers, t-shirt and if you have, work gloves).
