    Description

    Enjoy rural sweden!
    Me and my dog, and now my little baby, are fixing up an old farm. Welcome to the chaos ;) -and help out in projects renovating, painting, feeding my lovely hen ladies, weeding veggies, building fences -while enjoying beautiful and cultural rich surroundings! Meals are mainly vegetarian ( greens and eggs from the farm).
    You´ll have your own little house on the farm, with kitchen and toilet/shower.
    Part of the time I will be away and the "mission" will be house and petsitting while working on some projects :)

    This is not a business, this is unpaid , unless otherwise explicitly agreed.
