    Description

    *Update March 2024: We have found the springs team and don’t need more volunteers right now.
    *Update February 2024: We need a small group of volunteers in the period 19 April until 17 may. It’s important for us that you can stay for the hole period, and that everyone arrives at the same time. Some of the things that need doing is painting, repainting and cleaning a house to make it ready for retreats. There will also be garden work, repairing gates and other stuff plus there will also be small building projects. We will prefer people with building experience.


    We live on a small farm on the island of Bornholm, in Denmark. We have a big organic vegetable and flower garden and animals, which include 5 horses, 2 Kunekune pigs, 4 sheep, 2 cats, 7 ducks, a lot of chicken and 2 dogs. The farm is located close to the coast in a beautiful area.

    We gather a group of workawayers a few times a year since this setting works well for us (and also for the volunteers!) Accordingly, this means that we prefer persons who can join the group for the whole period. We also prefer individual travelers since that creates the best group dynamics.
    The work here is to help with different garden projects, general maintenance, stone paths, carpentering, weeding, painting, repairing and other farm work, mostly outdoors and some of it might be rather heavy work.

    You will probably meet some of our children, Astrid (33)Janus (30) Emma (30)Freja (27) Oskar (26)and Iris (24)during weekends and holidays.

    We train our dogs, horses and mini pigs with clicker training (positive reinforcement) and we use horsemanship with our horses.

    Finn works full time outside the farm, but Susan works part time during the week and takes time off in the workaway period.

    Practical skills aquired from the many different tasks around the farm. A relaxed environment where you will feel at home in no time. It is also possible to borrow a car (you pay the gas yourself) or you can borrow a bike from us to explore the island. The friendship and fun in the small diverse group is also a lovely bonus.

    It may be possible to try to ride the horses, but as we ride differently to most riding schools you will only ride accompanied by someone who knows the horses - this is whether you have experience or not.

    The name of the island is Bornholm (40.000 citizens) however the island is very popular during the summer. It is located in the Baltic sea and is closer to Sweden than to the rest of Denmark. It is the only place in Denmark with a rocky terrain and since the island is small you are never too far from the ocean (whether you like rocks, stone or sand beaches).

    The farm is located right next to the ocean by "Teglkås", it is possible to swim from the coast. And there are hiking routes, for example to "Jon's Kapel".
