  Description

  An old farmstead in western Finland, in the countryside near the town Kankaanpää. The purpose to join workaway as a host is to improve my french skills in talking and understanding.
  We have a familyfarm, an old cozy relaxed farmhouse, guest bedrooms upstairs. In the garden there is a greenhouse a sauna by a river. We took over the farmstead after retiring. Living in the countryside and farming is our lifestyle and hobby. The farm produces oats and cummin. My husband takes care of the work in the forests and fields together with the neighbours. The workawayer will not take part in the agriculture. We have a kind dog and two cats. I like cooking and baking, needlework, working in the garden and learning languages, now french. We could have help indoors and outdoors, in the household and garden. We have grown up children and grandchildren who visit us every now and then. Join our daily countrylife as a family member. We speak English, German and some French.
