Description
My husband Lasse and I (Mila) fell in love in 2021 in the farm and the area in Bøsøre in Funen in Denmark. Here is idyllic peace and quiet, magnificent nature and plenty of culture and of course the Stoebælt (the longest bridge in Denmark) and beach in the front garden.
I am working as IT specialist while Lasse works as chief consultant full time. In our sparetime we are realizing our dream of establishing one of Denmark's first sustainable, organic nut plantations of approx. 10 hectares. We have planted trees and bushes in the winter of 2022-2023 and arranged the plantation with many different varieties and biotopes with flowers etc. to create good conditions for biodiversity.
We have always some projects going on in the farm. It can be gardening, building chicken house and nestboxes, making ready to get goats, painting the house so on. In the farm we like to keep our garden wild for the small insects, birds and so on. So you will find a insecthotels and insectbuffets around and our own small forest.
Both of us love to meet new people and we are easy to talk to. :) Lasse is chess guy while I am more into fun/party games. :) We do also play Badminton and planning to establish badminton court in the backyard. In summertime we do rent the farm while we stay in our small 2 rooms annex in next door and all the profits goes to cover the cost on our nut plantation. :)

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I am Azerbaijani and Lasse is from Denmark. So we have to cultures meeting allready in our farm. By being here you will learn both cultures. We will like to show you around, make danish food, we can also teach you danish if you like. We have good experience of gardening and building stuff. We do not have any experience by having animals so we will learn together. Our guests tells us our place is unique. But come and see for your self. :) In the garden there is peace and idyll all day. At night there is "dark sky" with plenty of opportunities to see shooting stars or cozy up by a fire. Even though you are in county side, it is located centrally on East Funen. 20-25 minutes to Nyborg, Svendborg and the South Funen archipelago. We have cars which you can loan or we can drive you around. We have also bikes.
We also enjoy eating good food. Lasse makes really good indian and danish food. While I like to bake cakes :)
