  • Description

    Description

    Come join the main kitchen and/or vegetable farminggroup of the svanhom community. We are a large eco-collective situated in an old mansion surrounded by forests and organic farming fields. The collective has a high degree of self-sufficiency and the mainkitchen works to process and provide food for the inhabitants of the collective. We have volunteers all year around helping out in the vegetable fields, in the main community kitchen and in the buildinggroup maintaining our buildings.

  • Help

    Help

    In the kitchen we need help with a range of cleaning jobs, as well as cleaning & processing vegetables and other produce from the farm to support self-sufficiency. Throughout the stay Workawayers in the kitchen will join in different processes (like preparing lunch&dinner), all depending on interests and skills.
    In the vegetable group (we grow appr. 6. ha. organic vegetables) we need help to hands-on jobs like seeding&planting, weeding, harvesting, sorting&packing - all depending on which season of the year we're in.
    Overall, notice it is important for us you have interest in the kind of tasks we offer and in times the work can be physically demanding.
    We prefer Workawayers staying for a minimum of 1 month, working on weekdays in return for full accommodation with healthy organic food and your own private room, sharing kitchen & bathroom with other volunteers.
