Experience family life in an off-grid, permaculture homestead in Tjörnarp, Sweden

Infos

• 

  Description

  We are a small family farm of 3.2 hectars of land. We are off-grid permaculture homesteaders! We are Chris, 40, Alina, 9, Ivar, 4 and Olle 2.
  
  I (Chris) am a teacher of homesteading and permaculture.
  
  We have 2 cats (outside only), chickens and ducks. We grow vegetables on approximately 200m2, which is enough for the family for most of the year. We grow fruit, berries and nuts. We produce electricity via solar panels and heat the house exclusively with wood that we harvest from our land. We do not have water toilets, only an outhouse and a seperating toilet inside the house. The house has no neighbors within 300m making for a very quiet and biodiverse valley haven. We make boatloads of compost.
  
  We love to be outside, go swimming, eat good food and laugh.

  Aide

  As a volunteer you will be part of our team and family. Tasks include chopping wood, gardening, planting, making biochar, building, grafting, making compost, working with our animals, helping with kids, carpentry, renovations, cooking, cleaning, etc. All the same stuff that I (Chris) do really.
  
  What we do depends on needs, timing, time, weather, as well as your interests and skills. Maybe we will work on developing our water system which is run on a ram pump? Maybe we will build a mobile chicken tractor? Maybe a big autumn tree planting? Definitely vegetable gardening though!
  
  Are you mostly interested in hanging with kids and helping around the house? That works too. We are interested in making this a win-win and are very intent on our volunteers not feeling 'used'.

  Hébergement

  Food we cook together. We harvest what we can and buy the rest for our needs. We eat meat but that's not a dealbreaker. Vegetarian and vegan is not a problem.
  
  The guestroom is on the house's second floor and is simple but private. You can be involved in designing it and making it feel cozy if you like as it mostly just has the essentials at the moment.
