    Description

    We are a family of 5 looking for some help around the farm. We just moved in and need some help organizing, building, cleaning, clearing, Etc. We live near/on a lake in Sweden and have a few small outhouses as living areas for those who may be interested in helping us get our house and outhouses and barns ready for Winter. We are 30 minutes from Falun, Sweden. Things to do near by are ice fishing, we have an sauna and ICE bath on the property. Cross country skiing within 5 minutes, buses within 500 meters that go to Falun. We live on 8 hectares and have a 6km lake of ice right now you can explore. In the summer it is also amazing and would love to have help anytime!
