    👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Hi! We are Jan, Susan, and sometimes our son Rasmus, along with our other children and grandchild (+ many animals)

    🏡 We moved to Toftlund in July 2022 to create our dream home in the peaceful countryside, where there's endless of possibilities for projects to start (but not always enough time or hands to finish haha)

    🐕 We love animals and have many friendly pets, and they're excited to meet you!

    🐱Everyday we walk around the grounds with our 4 dogs and 2 cats, and they all love to accompany us the whole way.

    🌳 We'd love to have you here to help us around the countryside and enjoy the birds whistling and the fresh air.

    🙂 Mojn! (our simple word for hello/goodbye)

    🤠 We are looking for 2 Workawayers who have craftsman experience or wants to learn craftsmanship - preferably by car, as we are very remote, but we can go on trips during the weekends.

    🏠 We have a big house and a big retired farm 🌾 (9.3 ha ≈ 23 acres), which requires a lot to maintain. Furthermore, the father of the house (Jan) always has new projects on the way to make the place even nicer to stay. 🛠️

    🦾 Jan is undergoing a shoulder surgery, and is gonna need a helping hand with renovation from november-january. Expect to learn a lot about home renovation.

    🕒 You need to be comfortable with independent tasks during weekdays, and our son, Rasmus, will eat lunch with you and take you on adventures in the weekends, when he's home.

    ❗DO THIS BEFORE APPLYING: When you text us, please mention some of these tasks/projects, that you would like to assist us with. If you have any experience or want to contribute with something else - add it as well :-)

    🍲 Cooking meals (we’d love to taste your favorite dishes! We'll get the ingredients for you)
    🧹 Vacuuming and mopping floors
    🪓 Chopping wood
    🛌 Preparing rooms for our guests, as we often have family/friends staying
    🐾 Animal sitting: 2 cats, 4 dogs (new puppies expected in Dec 2024)
