  Description

  We grow, cows and goats tea, trees and children to name a few.
  We are Jens(39) and Helene(34). We have a son Bjørn, he is from june 2025.
  Helenes parents live on the farm in their own house.
  
  The farm is 7,5 hectares where half is forests and the other half is year round grazing for cows, goats and horses.
  The horses are not ours, we provide stables and pasture for the boarders. We love it as it creates both social gatherings and an income for us.
  A stream runs right through the farm. Its very peaceful here and there´s a great diversity in trees, plants and insects.
  
  Helene is a watercolor painter. We have a small gallery exhibiting her art. She sell original paintings and Jens (educated in photography) make prints of her art that we sell in the gallery and on markets. We both love the beautiful, the esthetics and are artist by nature, loving to express ourselves with painting, drawing, music and just in making every day beautiful by staying true to our nature and dreams.
  Jens plays a lot of guitar and Helene plays a little too, and likes to sing.
  We have worked with sustainable farming for around five years on this farm.
  Helene has also taken a two year organic small scale farm education.
  
  Our three main themes in life right now is our son Bjørn, Art and Farming.
  
  We are trying to make the first true tea (camellia sinesis) plantation in Denmark! we have around 50 plants that have survived the first winter and might even be thriving a little. its not a main project, but quit interesting and definitely new and exciting :)
  
  We have many trees spaced out in several small forests. We make firewood whenever a tree falls or in some other way has to come down. We are currently in the process of buying a sawmill so we can start making boards from these trees for projects on the farm such as building a sauna, compost toilet and just general beautifying and maintenance.
  
  Copenhagen is 1 hour away with public transport. Closest town is Fredensborg, 15 minutes by bike (well depending🤪)
  
  Looking forward to meet and create memories together :)
