Accommodation
The farm has a house, a cabin and a barn with workshop.. All of it is simple, in The wintertime we use woodburners for our heating. The toilet is an outside composting toilet. We have a poor excuse of a shower, its good because it uses little water, but a long soak is not possible. However we have a wonderful woodburning sauna and outdow shower summer time.
you Will either stay in The cabin, that is super simple but old and charmy, or summer time in our tiny house on wheels. Free spirits can stay in a hamock in The garden (not recommended in the winter months, unless you are true viking).....or in a tent.
