Description
Welcome to a family-run countryside stay on the island of Gotland, Sweden.
The farm is owned and run by Kickan and Per, with their daughter Ida working as an employee. During busy periods, we are also supported by a small team of seasonal staff.
This is our first season hosting Workawayers, but we have previous experience of international exchange. Earlier, when the farm was primarily focused on agriculture, Kickan and Per hosted colleagues from around the world through international agricultural exchange associations (IAEA).
We welcome guests from Sweden and abroad throughout spring, summer and autumn, and we also work with groups and events. Even when the farm is fully booked, the farm is run in a personal and hands-on way, where helpers become part of everyday life.
Surrounded by nature, with the Närsån canal running alongside the farm, we offer a peaceful countryside setting.
Helpers share daily routines, meals and the rhythm of life on the farm through the Swedish seasons on Gotland.
