  • Description

    Description

    I live alone on my old farm, which is being set up for self-sufficiency. I offer work in the vegetable garden, cooking and natural construction, as I am renovating a 224-year-old house. I have knowledge of carpentry, natural construction, and I also make wooden bows. The farm has its own water, electricity is from solar cells. In exchange for sleeping in a trailer and knowledge, I welcome help with daily chores for about 5 hours a day. Food is included in the stay. The minimum stay is one week. I speak English medium well. Internet is just on phone.
