    Description

    Hi, we are a family of ”3,5”, two cats, two dogs and a bunch of horses, that live on a wonderful privat homestead in the northern part of the beautiful island Gotland.

    We have the best of the everything around here: our lovely homestead with the beach/water 3 minutes away, the forest and the very special nature of Gotland.

    I work full time partly front home and in Visby, the kids 15 and 17 years old go to school in Visby. In our free time we spend time working with our projekts at the homestead, riding, spending time together.

  • Help

    Help

    We have so many exciting projects at our hobby farm that we would like help getting closer to the finish line.
    Now the priority is:
    - Some building projects around the homestead. For example changing the wall on one side of the barn.
    - Clearing bushes and trees on our land.
    - Painting, carpentry and renovating on the farm.
    - Help take care of the horses and the other animals.
    So for now we are looking for somebody with carpenter experience.

    There are so many different chores/projects to do so we can probably find what suits you based on your skills and areas of interest.
