Description
We are planning to buy a farm, and will probably be needing some help with the animals, gardening and house renovations. Since we haven't bought the property yet I can't be specific about dates or our needs, but if you're interested, you can keep us on your favourites list. I will update more when I know more.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Help with Eco Projects
Gardening
Animal Care
Farmstay help
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We live in an apartment in Stockholm, but we love and prefer nature above the city at all days. We are health nerds, so we stick to gluten free, mainly vegan food, with a hint of wild meat. I am running my own company within health and vitality together with my fantastic business partner, and you will have to stop me if I talk too much about how the body or mind works :) Although, I do also enjoy a glass of wine and some dark chocolate or licorice flavored popcorn on a movie night.
Help
I will update here when I know more myself, but it will involve gardening, animal care and house restoration

Awesome experience.. as its stated in the post Herman is really an easygoing being, we work hard in the garden and inside the house with some afterconstruction details.

Chris, how can we thank him enough? He has a great personality and he has contributed in so many ways to us during the month he stayed here. He took his own initiatives and is a natural landscape artist, who created beautiful magic in our garden. He has a strong work ethic and does everything well and thorough.

Daniëlle was a really great help getting us started in the interior design of the house. She helped out with all from sewing, drilling, heavy garden work and painting. A nice person with both feet on the ground and a great personality. Wishing her all the best on future adventures and really recommend her!

Daniel was a star! He was calm, reliable, hard working, trustworthy and pleasant to be around. He dove in to heavy work and was doing it all so well. Since he was here in the winter the lake house was a bit too primitive for him to be comfortable, which we can understand, so he went on for other adventures after a week. He is more than welcome… read more

I decided to stay a month with Herman and Sara, but in the end we agreed to be only a week. The reason was simple, because the conditions of the lake house were I had to stay were a little bit fews, due to the cold obviously. I've to thank Herman for being so honest, respectful and understandable with this situation, just like Sara.

We are so grateful to have had Loes with us for a month, she is a very relaxed and calm kind of person, yet not at all afraid of working hard. She helped Herman with a lot of heavy stuff in the garden and also spent time with our 2 year old son, who loved her. She also did household chores and was all the time great to have around.

Wouw, great place and great people! It was so super good staying with you guys. Sara and Herman are both very warm and open people and I felt welcome in their family immediately.

I had such a nice experience staying with Sara, Herman and Manfred this September (also of course because the weather was just so great that you could still go swimming in the end of September). It was such a pleasure cooking in such a well-equipped kitchen (most important: the ice cream machine!). I learned so much about healthy eating (and a lot… read more

I stayed 10 weeks at Sara's and Herman's and it was amazing! They gave me the chance to experience new things and to fall in love with their little babyboy! I'm still missing them, even more because Sara became my 'bigger sister' - I'm so grateful for this time! Thank you so much.
Lots of love, Sina-Noëlle

Sina stayed with us for 9 weeks this summer and she is a wonderful happy person to have around. She was very sweet with our 1 year old baby boy and was always ready to help out with everything needed in the house. She soon became my "little sister", and a part of our family. We wish her all the best for her studies and other adventures.
