  Descripción

  Hi!
  We (that is Veronika and Michael) are some nature loving creatures who are living in the deep forests of Dalsland in Sweden. We try to live a sustainable lifestyle by growing own food and living in harmony with nature. Veronika is wholehearted in handicraft (slöjdare) and art. I (Michael) love to grow food but also sculpturing, kayaking and sailing. We have been living in Sweden since 1999. Our native language is german but we speak fluently swedish... and not always that fluently english. (But we will get better with your help).
  We share the farm with 5 sheep, about 20 chicken, 1 dog, one cat, 40 000 honeybees and all wild creatures who chooses living with us!
  
  Beside our interest in help on the farm and sharing this wonderful place we are living at, we are mostly interested in cultural exchange and meeting new people.
  During summer-season we spend most weekdays with work in our own landscaping -company.
  
  Maybe one more thing: we are vegetarian...or more like we are flexi-who-only-eat-"own"-animal-tarian

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  We have about 23 years of experience in ecological gardening and breeding of chicken and sheep. One of our projects which could be at interest is that we are building an off-grid log-cabin nearby where we will try to establish a place in the future for people to try some living-sustainable-in-the-woods-for-a-year.

  Ayuda

  Most of all work and fun concentrates in the months from April to September. We feel like we could use some help to maintain a good result. Help at our farm could include everything from carpeting, picking weeds, mucking, planting, mowing to helping with usual maintenance in the house.
  
  We will be away during daytime a lot, so you would have to do some work on your own or with other work-awayers help.

  Algo más...

  Our farm really offers a paradise if you seek peace. Perfect for Yoga and meditation for example. We have no neighbors in sight; next to a wonderful lake for bathing and stand-up-paddle directly in front of us. Own fireplace of course! We even got our "own" jogging trail in the forest. Or maybe you want to train at your archery-skills.
  We are living very close to the Trestiklan nationalpark and the the lake Stora Le which is very popular for fishing and canoeing. We have a kajak and a canoe to use in the lakes near by and a sailboat in the lake Vänern. If you are at any point yearning for some city-life, Oslo and Gothenburg only 1,5-2 hours away! (quite good train-connection)
