Description of Nässelbacken:
Me and my teenage sons have a miniature farm on 2 hectares of Swedish nature.
On the top of the sunny hill are the little house and large trees. Next to my house is a small wagon that has a bed for volunteers. I'm in the middle of building the zero energy year-round greenhouse. More trees and forest gardens, edible landscapes and vegetable garden are newly established here.
Depending on when you want to come, you may be able to learn gardening, crafts, wild foods, nature conservation.
Gardening projects run all the time, except mid winter, mostly focused on forest gardens/edible perennial plants and plants that benefit insects. I also aim at being self sufficient on staple foods such as peas, beans and maize. I'm already self sufficient on fire wood, so in winter, we cut and cleave a few trees.
Sometimes I focus on my building projects, upcoming are for example a greenhouse; a rainwater collecting system; a root cellar, solar dryer, rocket stove and tiny house.
In the bottom of the valley there used to be a creek, which has been underground for 70 years - we are aiming at freeing it as soon as possible. It is also a lovely natural alder wetland forest, full of birdlife, dragonflies, edible plants and flowers.
The southern end is where my friend sometimes has her sheep, and the stable also contains a cosy but rustic guest room for volunteers, including a small kitchen. This is also where we have the wood workshop.
To the west lies the Oak meadow, a tranquil place for meditation, a place for watching sunsets and sunrise, and listening to the owls through the night.
I who run this place am Tuve, ecologist and hobby farmer with a gardening education and 20 years of experience in small scale food production, orchards, poultry and vegetables. I have spent my life learning the skills necessary to make a good living without being stuck in the modern consumption dependence. I know many crafts, farming and what to eat in the wild.
Spinning wool from various animals is one of my hobbies, but also basketry and carpentry, along side of my main interests gardening and biodiversity. I love teaching my skills to those interested in learning.
On top of that, I love singing, talking, and sharing of the spiritual side of our existance.
This new farm is only six years old, but I have been a host for volunteers since 2014 on my old farm too.
Every second week, my two children, 17 and 19 years old live with me.
We have three cats, and a flock of indian runner ducks.
If you are looking for more than a few weeks of volunteering, I am interested in sharing my arable land on longer term also, with people living in their own homes on wheels, yurts etc. It would be possible to bring your own animals, also grazing ones, as long as they can co-exist with the cats and ducks that already live here.
The food here is vegetarian. If you like cooking, vegan is no problem. Meat is rare.
Wifi is available in and around the main house and the guest room in the little wagon. If you bring a camper van, you can park within wifi range.

We'd love to get better at French. We're very good at English and Swedish. I'm learning Swedish sign language, and would love a chance to practise that even more than I do at work.
Alojamiento
I have two choices for volonteers: A rustic guestroom in the stable that has a loft bed, a wider bed and it's own kitchen, but usually volonteers chose to eat with the family in the house. Or a tiny house next to the house with wifi. Only one bed.
Do let me know if you have allergies, the rooms might not be so dust free.
Please be prepared to accept that both these guest rooms are also used as storage, and they are not hotel room quality, they are rustic. The space in the tiny house is very tiny. The space in the stable is a bit like you'd imagine a farm hand's living quarters could have been a hundred years ago, except with electricity and running water! And much better mattresses.
Algo más...
I can lend you a bicycle. There are walking trails in the surrounding landscape, which is a patchwork of farms, fields, small forests and pastures. There are lakes within cycling distance. It is situated in the middle of Skåne, has 3 national parks within 1 hour drive, and nature reserves close by.
Public transport exists, but is limited.

When we talked she was both interested in telling things about her life and hearing things from me. She let me borrow her guitar and play on it.

Thank you for your help!
They are sensitive, and need the housing situation to work for them, therefore they didn't stay more than 2 days out of the planned 12. That is the only reason I didn't give them so many stars. I'm sure that if my guest room had been ok for… read more
