  Description

  We are a family of two adults (Elin 31, Thomas 34 and our daughter who is 2 years old)
  Four cats, a bunch of chickens and a few dust bunnies here and there ;)
  
  
  We are a vegan/vegeterian friendly farm. We live on a farm on the west coast of Sweden, close to the boarder of Norway. Our dream here is to start a vegan B&B, making our home beautiful, grow our own fruits and vegetables and to have fun in the process :)
  
  We are a nerdy household. Lots of boardgames, warhammer and books. Lots of different nerdy hobbies and me (Elin) work with books, boardgames and warhammer. Thomas works full time in norway as an electrician. But also has his own beer brewing company and also works sometimes with me at the nerdy store :)
  
  THINGS WE NEED HELP WITH:
  
  We need help with taking care of the animals, gardening, carpentry, painting the main house, cleaning inside the main house, organazing things etc.
  We also would like help with our daughter sometimes and that would then be included in your work hours. If me and Thomas maybe need to do something or just sleep for an hour then it would be so helpful if a workawayer could take care of her for an hour of two.
  
  ----------------
  We are looking for two people to come and stay with us around the time july, august, september. We want you to stay for at least a month, but longer also works :)
  ----------------
  
  A regular day at the farm:
  
  In the morning you will let the chickens out. Check their pens, fill up food and water.
  
  After that - breakfast. We share kitchen here and you are free to use everything in the kitchen.
  
  After that the work day usually start. Depending on what projects we have at the moment it could be anything from gardening, digging, building, cleaning, painting, cleaning etc.
  
  We have a list in the kitchen that we go through with all new workawayers so you can pick and choose of what you would like to work with on a daily basis.
  
  You get to decide for yourself on when you start to work and when you wanna have a day off. We dont have a strict rule on when you should work :)
  But we still expect you to do your full 5 hours 5 days a week, but it is up to you how you want to plan your day.
  
  Lunch is whenever people are hungry and usually contains leftovers or what ever you feel like. Dinners we always have together.
  
  Around 7 at night it's time to close up to the chickens.
  
  That's a typical day here at the farm :)
  And we love it when workawayers here gives lots of love and attention to our animals :)
  
  Here we serve plantbased food for everyone who comes to work for us :) (With the exception of some eggs from our chickens and sometimes cheese) I would say we eat mostly plantbased with the exception of some eggs and some cheese sometimes and we never eat meat. Thomas is vegitarian and me Elin have been vegan for years but eat some eggs from our chickens sometimes.
  If you enjoy cooking then we love to try when workawayers cook meals for everyone aswell.
  
  It is an amazing help for us as newly parents when workawayers takes initiative to clean the kitchen, like take out dishwasher and make sure common areas are tidy. We also really appriciate when workawayers cook meals for everyone :)
  
  
  
  Time is important to us and we very much appriciate that IF you are coming to us to keep us uptaded with travel information and if anything changes with time and dates for your arrival :)
