Details
Description
The farm is a non-profitable organic farm with a vegetable garden where we try to develop a permaculture. A variety of vegetables and fruits grow in greenhouses and the open field. There are no animals on the farm, except for a very friendly cat and some hardworking honey bees.
I have been hosting volunteers for over 20 years and have always appreciated the help and company.
Volunteers help on the farm and participate in all activities with me. I try to have between two and five workawayers at the same time and they usually stay for two to four weeks.
I don’t host volunteers in the winter months as there is not as much work to do.
If you have an interest in organic vegetables and want to enjoy simple farm life in Sweden, don’t hesitate to contact me!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Volunteers will learn about the organic cultivation of vegetables and ornamental plants. You can also learn about Swedish culture and meet many people here.
There are bicycles that you can use and nice surroundings to discover. The closest city is Lund and there is a big lake with a beach 15 km from here.
Help
Depending on the season, there is plenty of help in the garden with seeding, planting and harvesting.
There is also always a building project going on where you can try out new skills.
Volunteers usually do 5 hours a day, 5 days a week, with 2 continuous days off.
The tasks can sometimes be tiring but no special skills are needed. Everyone can contribute with help that fits their abilities.
You should bring working clothes and boots but there are also some things here that you can borrow.

Food is provided and volunteers usually cook and eat together. Sometimes I also cook for them. Depending on who is here we usually cook vegetarian with our own vegetables and we can easily adapt if you have any dietary requirements.

I had the chance to spend 3 weeks with Torbjörn. He is very friendly, welcoming and generous, he did everything to make me feel good!
Despite of winter he managed to give me varied tasks, I really enjoyed working in the greenhouse and helping him to harvest the wood. I hope I can come back one summer to help him again :)
Thanks again Torbjörn

Camille has been on the farm for three weeks with her friend Cloe. Both are very nice, have easy to adapt to the circumstances and have been a nice company.
They have taken care of the household, sowed in the greenhouse, picked stones, carpentry and help where needed and shown interest in the work.
I can recommend them on the best
