Description
We are a family living in an old big house in the woods. We have a variety of different tasks, inside and outside. For this autumn we need for instance to build compost system for the herbal garden and a little open shed for storing firewood. Also there’s gardening jobs like preparing high beds for winter and remove weeds with a bushcutter. Inside we need to take out an old floor - perhaps we can get the planks out without breaking them too much, that we can reuse them for other projects.
We rented 3 old houses in the woods, situated 45 minutes by train from Copenhagen - one house for living - one for guests - one for work.
We came here 4 years ago and fully enjoy to be surrounded by trees, having the possibility to catch a train to Copenhagen, just 15 minutes away - walking through the woods. Workawayers, often 3-5 at a time have their own room in their own house sharing 2 bathrooms a kitchen and a living room. You can stay min 3 weeks, - or perhaps you are interested in a long time stay?
We are interested in music, theatre, nature and food. 4 adult children study classical music and form together a professional string Quartet. They stay here from time to time, but study abroad. You help 5 hours 5 days a week, daytime, Monday- Tuesday off. You cook for your self or together with roomies. As you prefer. We sometimes eat all together. You order supplies every Tuesday for the coming week. -

Help
We seek help from Workawayers only for the private matters (no help relating to our business) - We are interested in long time stay, from 3 weeks to several months - for outdoor tasks like gardening, help around the house etc. and indoor like making order in the workshop - cleaning, cooking, repairing. We have a cafe, but workawayers are not asked to work in the cafe, as this is the rules of the workaway idea, which we recognize.
