Hobby farm experience with a bilingual family in Vejen, Denmark

Infos

• 

  Description

  We are a multicultural family of three, consisting of myself, my partner and our 14 year old son. As well as our sheep, chickens and dogs. In the household we speak English, Dutch and Danish.
  
  We live in Denmark (between Billund and Vejen) on an almost 200 year old farm property. Located in beautiful nature where seeing wildlife is a daily occurrence. Our property is quite remote - don’t expect any shops or cafes just around the corner. But expect nature and peace.
  
  On our property we have a guest house with its own bathroom, kitchenette and with three bedrooms, there is electricity, running warm and cold water, as well as Wifi in the guesthouse. There is the possibility to stay in the guesthouse. But there is also the option to camp in a tent if that is preferred. There is also the space if you have your own van to stay in that - we can provide electricity.
  
  Accommodation and meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner), coffee and thee will be provided, against a couple of hours (approx 5 hours a day). There are no set working hours, we are very flexible on when and how you want to plan it in. Don’t expect any fancy cuisine, but we will cook to most dietary needs/choices. Internet is available free of charge, as well as the possibility to use our laundry room if staying here for more than a week. You will have two days off each week.
  
  All other costs you have to cover yourself.
  
  We can pick up and drop off at the airport (Billund) or train station (Lunderskov) when arriving and departing. We only offer pickup/drop off between 7:00am-18:00pm
  
  There is public transport going into the bigger city three times a day on work days. But there is also the possibility of borrowing a bike to be able to get to places.
  
  Duration: everything from a longer periode or even just a week. (We prefer minimum a week, as it takes a couple days to get used to tasks on the farm)
  Accommodation: guesthouse with three rooms and own bathroom or staying in a tent (provided) and there is also space if you have your own van you want to stay in.
  Who: any individuals, couples, friends or families, children are also welcome with their parents.
  Rooms will mostly be private for you and your ‘group’. But occasionally we will ask you to share a room with another Workawayer.
  
  You have to be comfortable with not having other people around the whole time. As we will not always be around the whole day. We like to be social with guests/workaways, but also sometimes like to be private. We will always be available, but will not be there to guide you the whole time/day.
  
  We are a private property, so we cannot offer visas for people from outside the EU. * we kindly request you not to react unless you have a visa/or are an EU citizen*
  
  There are many possibilities, so please write if you have any questions.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  We hope to be able to welcome an exchange where all parties get something out of it.
  
  Our family is an open minded family welcoming people from all different cultures and beliefs, we are also LGBTQIA+ friendly and never judge people for being true to themselves.
  Our family have all travelled and lived around the world, experiencing lots of different cultures and we love to welcome new people to our place to show them our Danish way of living.
  You will be able to experience what it takes to run and maintain a hobby farm. And can get experience in many different tasks associated with this.
  
  We try to share all three meals a day together, but some meals you will have to help yourself in our kitchen.
  
  There is coffee and tea making facilities in the guesthouse/kitchenette which is to your disposal the whole day.
  
  We hope to be able to provide an environment where you can both gain experience in different tasks, cultural exchange and also enjoy yourself.
