    Description

    Hi!
    I'm Noora and I'm 22 years old. I live with my boyfriend (23) on an old farm with a 100 year old house in Southern Ostrobothnia.
    !! LOOKING FOR HELP IN APRIL AND MAY!! (About 2 weeks at a time but a longer stay could be discussed. The plan is to continue working on my attic build/reno, a lot of garden work after the winter and some other outdoor activities! Also possible to host two workawayers for 2 weeks in May!
    Feel free to ask if you want to know more about the projects during the time you are interested to come)

    I'm starting my own little "hobby farm" with currently 3 icelandic horses aged 28,26, and 12. So if you have previous riding experience we could go riding and exploring!
    Even training and doing some groundwork with the horses would be amazing. The plan is to hopefully make some kind of a roundpen/arena to use for training at some point too!

    I have two bunnies too!
    I will be getting sheep, and chicken at some point in the future so there is a lot of building and fencing that needs to be done! (clearing away trees and branches first)
    During the week i need some extra help to get things done as i’m mostly alone here.

    We also have dogs. I have a roughcollie that stays pretty much allways here and my other dog stays mostly at my parents house but might come and stay for a while every now and then! My boyfriends has two hunting dogs that live mostly outside in the cage or the stable.

    The entire place is a "work in progress" that i'm slowly trying to make into my dream farm! So there is a lot of DIY projects and clearing up more space!

    Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

    I speak both Finnish and Swedish fluently and i’m interested in the local history.

    You will hopefully learn some diy projects, animal care if youre interested, how to enjoy time on the countryside (i like to stay at home as much as possible) and overall lots of outdoor stuff!

    i´m also studying leatherworking/tack making so if you're interested I could teach you some basics!

    I'm looking for someone that can lift "heavy" stuff such as waterbuckets, haybales etc. And some horse experience from before would be preferable, but not a must.
    also a big plus if you have videography skills (filming and editing)!

    Here are some things i will be needing help with:
    -basic daily chores/cleaning around the house
    -help with cooking/baking
    -stable chores (mucking, feeding)
    -renovation projects
    -making new pastures for the horses
    -painting the barn
    -bring in firewood
    -plowing snow or raking leaves
    -exercising the horses with me

    I'm mostly searching for 2-3 week stays at a time to give myself some alonetime in between.
    If you wan't to know more about what projects will be happening during the time of your stay, just ask and i'll tell you more!
    i also expect you to clean up after yourself and keep your room clean!

  • Hébergement

    Hébergement

    have space for 1 workawayer and you will be sleeping in the guestroom. The guestroom floor is not insulated so that's why it's not in use during the coldest winter months. (Possible to sleep in kitchen/livingroom when it's too cold)
    During winter my house is quite cold and drafty, so i recomend warm clothing to wear inside too! (keep in mind that winter is from November to April here!)
    I’m providing the basic foods (breakfast, lunch, dinner, evening snack)! But you have to buy your own snacks (candies and such) and stuff you want for yourself.
    Unfortunately i can't accomodate Vegans or others with dietary restrictios (unless you buy your own food then it's okay!). Lactose intolerant is okay as long as you are okay with mostly drinking raw milk straigt from the bulk tank.
    And i allways prefer locally produced food!

    During summertime there is a huge amusement park, Powerpark (northernmost amusement park in the entire world) nearby and a few museums too. My family has a summercottage by the ocean.
    During winter there aren't as many activities but you might see some northern lights and hopefully enjoy some snow!
    I live "in the middle of nowhere" so on a walking distance there is pretty much nothing, but within a 10-15min drive there is a little town with shops and other activities.
    I enjoy my time here at home and allways seem to find something fun to do if i'm bored.
    (There is basically no public transportation over here)
    I work mostly at my neighbours dairy farm (2-3h in the morning and 2-3h in the evening so i do come home in between)
    otherwise I´m working from home (full time business owner)
    So during the day when i'm at home we usually go outside, especially during winter as those are the only light hours of the day!

    Calm quiet dogs are possibly welcome as long as they do not have any "aggression issues" such as food agression or any other dominant behavior. (my other dog is a bit unsure due to a dog attacking him as a puppy) and my dog is unneutered so female dogs in the house are not an option.
