Descripción
Hi!
I am a woman who runs a small farm in the countryside. On the farm there are horses, sheep, hens/chickens and some small animals - and two dogs.

I work with children/adolecents visiting the farm and they stay for the weekends and holidays. My main work is with them, but as usual all the animals and chores on the farm needs to be done. We will either do them togheter or separetely. Hope you like to work independantly.

There will be (depending on the time of year) chores like:
*️️️️️️️️ go in the forest to look for the sheep
*️️️️️️️️ putting up/taking down fences
*️️️️️️️ taking away grass and do wood in the forest
*️ gardening/mowing
*️ picking berries/fruit, making jam
*️️️️️️️️ feeding/watering horses and other stuff with horses
*️ taking care of other animals
*️️️️️️️️ painting of fences
*️️️️️️️️ being with the children
*️️️️️️️️ cooking, like making breakfast/lunch/dinner
*️ some help in the house
*️ painting walls inside the house
and whatever comes up.
On a farm like this it's always something to do for everybody and things of interest for most people.

There are not a lot of other people around. My parents live nearby and my brothers with their families. The nearest city is 7km away and there are busses. You will have a bed either in my living-room or a separat bedroom and you will share bathroom with the others in the house. You will be a part of the family.

Some farm experience or work with animals would be appreciated. You need to be able to work independantly once given a task. And have good English language. You must love the outdoors and like to work with your body.

I need someone who is open minded and respectful and are willing to help where ever they can. On a farm like this it's always something to do. Worktime is different during the day, but you will have plenty of time off.

Hope to hear from you!

Thank you for staying with me Sara :) You stayed for two weeks and the time went so fast, I feel that I would have liked to spend more time getting to know you.

The one with Kristin was my first experience as a workawayer. I spent two weeks in october with her. The experience has exactly responded to my expectations: learning the way of life on a farm, visiting the countryside of a Nordic country, living a community life knowing new people and sharing everyday life. Kristin is full of energy and puts her… read more

My stay with Kristin was amazing! I was originally just saying with her her for about two weeks till I found another host to go to, but then it turned to four, then five weeks.

Kristin and her family were very welcoming. Going for errands with her dad turned into a tour of the town and getting ice cream. Kristin's mom is lovely and makes… read more

Fredi stayed at the farm for just one week. I asked for her expectations for the stay, but she had non, just happy to be here. After one week she felt homesick and not well and needed to go home to see a doctor. And she said the stay did not meet her expectations.

Hi Petra Pilgrim – hope you are well. We miss you.
As a first time host I couldn’t have got a better workawayer than Petra (and Aase). (they were my first workawayers this summer) Petra has a sweet nature, is easy to talk with, she understands what needs to be done and she worked both independently and in a team.
