  Description

  Hello
  
  Summary.
  
  It is a place for person who admires nature and likes peace and quiet lifestyle.
  
  Our place is a farm house in Pikva village, Harjumaa Estonia. It is located by Jägala River. Distance from the capital is 50 minutes by car.
  
  History of the farm starts from early ages. Several owners are marked in Church books form middle ages. Current
  Establishment is surrounded with Kõrvemaa nature reserve and Jägala river. Across the river are our neighbors - small summer houses. Nature reserve provides clean and healthy environment.
  
  What to do in here? + Free time and socializing.
  
  The farm is not our main home. It means we spent time there during warmer months. We are there during the summer nights and weekends. We renovate hold houses and maintain the garden. As garden is huge, there are many activities. Planting salads and tomatoes and cucumber and other veggies. My dream is to start a apple garden.
  
  Accommodation is in sauna house. It has second floor for sleeping and first floor has dark small room for indoors eating and sauna for personal hygiene. Sauna is wood operated and requires fire. Most of people spend their time outdoors and in summer kitchen. Cooking is outdoors. As most of the activities are in the garden, then our place is suitable for summer times. In winter we have snow and total darkness. Therefore we invite workawayers only on late spring to early autumn.
  
  Whom is it for?
  
  I can tell who has visited us during last 8 years. There were two set of people who stayed more than 3 months. Both of them came with their own caravan and stayed for several weeks. They helped us with garden maintenance and woodwork projects mentioned earlier. Of course they had convenience of their motorhome. One couple had children other one cats:). They worked remotely with their own projects and helped us for some hours each week.
  
  Other group of workawayers is solo traveler who likes nature and peace and relaxing environment. There have been several of them.
  
  And finally couples or friends who travel together.
  
  
  
  WBR,
