  Descripción

  We are Dorte and Thomas, and we run a small farm of 7 acres, mainly in our sparetime.
  
  We live in the countryside in the southwestern part of the large island Zealand in Denmark. We both work part time/fulltime jobs and also run our small and locally based organic farm with focus on growing slow flowers, propagating plants and tending to our herd of sheep and 2 Galloway cows. We have 2 dogs and a cat living with us in the house.
  
  We own 7 acres of organically certified land. Our philosophy is based on the ethics and principles of permaculture and we both appreciate working in collaboration with nature, taking good care of our soil and animals, being curious, sharing knowledge and good energy, sharing the tasks and working alongside others. We are here to serve the land, not the other way around.
  
  We have lived here since 2020 and this is our 4th year of growing fresh flowers, also for drying and harvesting seeds.
  
  Who are we looking forward to hosting:
  Apart from helping taking care of the house, the cooking, and our animals, we have many interesting outdoor DIY projects in the book - so if you are strong and eager to get involved and maybe already have skills to work on DIY building projects, and you love working and being in nature, don't hesitate to reach out to us! We do prefer you are not straight out of school, but that you have some life experience. If you have any knowledge of gardening and even permaculture that is a great plus. We expect you to have an interest in gardening and small livestock animals, be responsible, easy-going and comfortable with being involved and communicative.
  
  It is great if you have no animal allergies, and we prefer if you are a non-smoker. On a smallscale organic farm, there is a great variety of chores every day, quite a number of bugs and (kind) wildlife, and no 2 days look the same. Attaining a biodiverse habitat requires us to be flexible, so you have to be up for that.
  
  We have room for 1 Workawayer at a time, and we are happy to help you get acquainted to our culture and lifestyle. We are both very comfortable with English and will gladly help train your English skills, but it is preferred if you know some level of English before you come.
  
  You have your own bedroom and toilet facilities in our guesthouse. Shower facilities are in the mainhouse.
  
  We prefer you to stay for at least 3-4 weeks to secure continuity and to give you a full experience of the life on our farm.
  
  We are looking forward to hearing from you!
  
  Best regards,
  Thomas and Dorte

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  We are both very open minded and inclusive and love to share knowledge and cultural exchanges with others. We have a long experience of meeting foreigners, and have travelled a bit ourselves. We think it is so important to learn from each other, not only across borders, but also across generations. Permaculture and regenerative agriculture are main subjects around the table as well as other interesting subjects. Among the two of us, we speak Danish, Scandinavian, German, English and a little French.

  Ayuda

  We would appreciate help around the house, cleaning and cooking etc. We also have building projects, like making compost, water installations, accessibility around the lot etc. If you like you can learn tending to the animals, as well as other tasks in the natural habitats that surround us. All with the permaculture perspective. We will teach you before and during the processes and would appreciate your input as well.

  We live next to the lake Tystrup So, and we appreciate the quiet surroundings very much. The area is very sought for its recreational and natural qualities. There is a bird reservation area nearby.

We provide lifts to the train station as well as rides to the nearby cities, when we have errands to run there ourselves. Public transportation is available if ordered up front.
