Details
Description
We are John (64) and Lise (53) who love our place with all the plants and all the animals. We are trying to create a place where animals, plants and people are happy. We like to meet new people and hear about your life experiences.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You can learn about permaculture and forest gardening if you are interested in that.And learn how to take care for different animals.
Help
We need help with the animals (ponies, sheep, pigs, ducks and chickens) and in the garden.
In the cold and rainy periods there will be painting tasks inside the house.
When the weather is right we have a lot of different projects outside; e.g. fencing and renovating the animalhouses.
We all take turns cooking.
Since we both work full time and don't have a lot of time to work together with workaways we recommend that you come two people. You are still welcome if you travel alone, but you must be prepared to do most work on your own.
We live in the countryside and in wintertime it is quiet and dark here.
If you like animals and a quiet life in the countryside and can put up with two elderly people our place is the perfect place :-)
We are looking forward to hear from you.
Regards, John and Lise
