Description
Hej!
Welcome to our homestead in progress, it's a land of about 4 hectares with old pastures and meadows in the middle of nature and wildlife surrounded by Pine and Spruce forests for hiking, foraging, healing and lakes for fishing, swimming, paddling.
We who live here are my two daughters Lisa 18 and Maya 16 and me Tommy 47.
Except us we have the mousehunter and daydreamer Buddha and the Rooster Gyllenkam with his Chicks and sidekick Kalle and last, the romantic couple Kalle and Kajsa who are planing for ducklings.
I believe we are quite open-minded, we love to learn, meet new people, evolve and need to create. Lisa and Maja are in the age of finding their own path, moving finding and shaping new boundaries and expectations of life 🪷 I try to make the best of what life gives to me but I am everywhere with a lot of ideas spinning around to create. My goals are not easygoing but I aim hard and for the future for a healthier, more connected, sustainable and free life.
Life here is quite simple, no running water, dry compost toilet, fire stove for heating and cooking and also a propane stove for cooking.
Bucket showers is possible both indoor and outdoors and we also have a fire heated bathtub and a beautiful lake just a short hike through the forest.
The small amount of needed electricity is produced by a low voltage solar electric system.
Everything here is kind of made from scratch and built by hand, it's a slow process but for a low cost and ambition by the creative mind and true goals.
The goals are to have a smooth running homestead providing most needed to a healthy life and have small coarses in different kinds of handcrafts and more, both to share my own and possibly other peoples skills and knowledge, and for earning some money.
It's always a lot to be done so we need help with everything from gardening (new rised beds, planting trees, berries and vegetables), building shed, make boards and beems with the small sawmill), off-grid projects, firewood and a lot of greenwood work, testing, learning.. and meet new people.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I think it's a lot of new and old things to learn. When you build and make things with your hands and low cost. You need to use your head, reuse, invent, constantly learn new things and above all see how people managed back in the days when the life was harder but simpler..
You have the possibility to see, sense and integrate life from its possible true self, or just from another perspective, which at the moment seems to be growing at humanity in these times of shift and change in our world and consciousness.
There's a possibility that you learn or see what you'll need for your next step.
Help
Gardening, carpentry, planting, stacking stonewall/ground, scything. Harvest hay, mushrooms, berries, vegetables. Build, make and restore fence, firewood, cooking.
I think it's something for everyone.
