Descripción
We are a family of 4 who love to meet new people. We like to travel and experience other cultures, but most of all we love our little homestead, and would like to combine the two by inviting interesting people in to our lives. We are open and friendly and will do our very best for you to have a great experience with us - and exploring the area around us. We will include you as little or as much as you prefer in our daily life. As a family of 4 with jobs, school, sports and other activities, we can at times be quite busy. But there will often be one of us working from home, adn being in the house during the day. We are flexible and expect you to be as well. We help each other to make days and evenings easy and enjoyable.
Gardening and farming is a hobby and energy booster for us. We are dreamers and time-optimists :-) We are constantly learning, starting new projects and coming up with ways to improve our ways of working. We want to make the most of the garden and try to grow as many of our vegetable and fruits as possible. We also love flowers and love the joy locally grown, pesticide free flowers can bring to people. We would love your help to make 2025 a great year in our garden.
We are Kim (IT Engineer) and Line (freelance HR consultant) and Molly (9) and Viggo (7) who go to school nearby. We have the cutest Collie named Freja, three cats (who are both inside and outside), 25+ chickens and thousands of bees. Hopefully ducks (and many other animals) will join our garden in 2025.

Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
For us this is a cultural exchange and a great way to meet new people and introduce our kids to different cultures.
Staying with us, you will get to experience the life in partly rural Denmark, you will learn a bit about gardening (if you have no experience, we will guide you), and you will hopefully have a great time on the Northern part of Funen.
We would like for you to work an average of 3-4 hours per day (not weekends). We are very flexible in when the work is done.
Communication and trust is important for us, when opening our home for people we haven't met before, and we expect you to be kind, helpful and respectful.

We live in a small homestead. We primarily need help in the garden and projects in the house and outside. Our dream is to be relatively self-sufficient and we are growing vegetables, fruit, berries and flowers. We have bees and make honey and we have chickens that provide lovely eggs for us. The big projects this year is increasing our vegetable garden, creating a cut-flower field, expanding the chicken coop and building a big fence to make the garden duck friendly. We need help starting seedlings, getting the green house and the field/garden ready for the season, planting seedlings, weeding, cutting grass, picking flowers, feeding chickens, harvesting, watering, pruning, cutting wood etc. If you prefer to be more inside we also need help painting our windows or maybe cooking, baking or cleaning. And walking Freja will always be appreciated. If you have carpentry skills we have projects that we would love for you to contribute to. Tasks change according to time of year. We are flexible and hope you are too.

Alojamiento
We have a big guest room in our house for you to use. It has a double and a single bed. If you are more than one person, you share the room. The room is on the second floor, and you will have privacy. The house is fairly big, but you will probably be able to hear the daily life of a family with two kids. The bathroom is partly shared with the family. We have two bathrooms, so we will primarily use the other one. We have a big kitchen and living room which is shared.
If you prefer living outside we have a big glamping tent we can set up in the garden close to the house, or in the woods at the far end of our property.
We will provide three meals per day and you can help yourself or eat with us. You can have all the coffee and tea that you desire. We aim for nutritious and tasty food every day. Breakfast is typically cereal, yoghurt, fruit, eggs, knækbrød (crispy bread) and bread baked by Kim, who loves his sourdough. Lunch can be Danish ryebread, sandwiches, omelets etc. depending on the day. We expect you to help yourself for breakfast and lunch, but if we are home and preparing meals ourselves, you are welcome to join us.
Dinner is our main meal where we try to eat together. We eat pasta, casseroles, Asian, Mexican and Danish food alle depending on season and mood. We barbeque a lot during summer. We have a pizza oven on the terrace so normally we have pizza night once a week. We are not vegetarian but we do like to eat things grown in the garden as much as possible. We also get many eggs from our chickens, so eggs will also be part of our meals. Let us know if you have any special needs.
We do not expect you to eat all meals with us, but know that you are always welcome to join us and that we would love your company. You are more than welcome to help with cooking and baking as part of your contribution to the workaway exchange.

We live on a small homestead that is located in a small town called søndersø. We are 20 minutes from Odense where there is a great city life with museums, cafes etc. In Odense you can reach most of Denmark by train or bus. We are 20 minutes from Bogense, a small cosy town with a marina and beach and different shops. The beach/ocean can also be reached in about 20 minutes by car (or bus to Bogense). You will find great nature around us and we will be happy to guide you to places to visit.
We have bikes that you can borrow (if the are not flat) and the bus is a 10-15 min walk from our house. We might also drive you to places if we have time.
