  Description

  We are a family of five: mother Sofie, father Casper, big brother Sebastian at the age of 5 years, little sister Emily at the age of 2,5 year, and little sister at the age of 1 year.
  Our farm is located in scenic surroundings near Herning.
  Our farm is interesting for you who like animals, nature, children, and to be on a farm, but near a big city at the same time.
  
  You can help us with following: rebuild the house, take care of the animals: we have a lot of ducks, some boars, and other funny animals like chickens and pea cocks. Every day we feed the animals and make sure that they have dry and good conditions.
  
  We bought our farm three years ago, and have a lot to do. There's always work to do at the animals. If you are not so interested in the animal work, we also need help for taking down buildings, cleaning in the house, brushing the yard, cleaning gutters, playing with the kids in the weekends, gardening, and in general improving the view of the farm.
  
  We would like to welcome you who is positive and flexible with the tasks.
  We prefer that you don't smoke.
  
  We have good experience in cooking for vegetarians and not vegetarians. We also have had vegan visitors, but admit that it's harder to cook for vegans. So are you living vegan, you are very welcome - we just recommend that you bring your special ingredients that makes sure you don't go to bed hungry. We have a lots of fruits and vegetables, and bread.
  
  Our specialty on the farm is to produce ducklings and chickens. We have a big incubator in which we hatch many eggs every year. Do you come from an interesting place with nice birds, ducks or geese - then we are very interested in receiving eggs to hatch - and to get new life on the farm. It may be parrots, quails, different types of ducks, geese, chickens... At the moment, we have big sussex chickens and black ayam cemani chickens. We also have white musk ducks.
  
  We look forward to hearing from you. Have a nice day!
