    Description

    We are Joan and Molle who lives on a small farm in south of Sweden with horses, bees and a cat. We moved here summer-16 but a lot is still in the beginning, or at least the plans are developing and we still wants to do a lot. We are making beautiful garden and ecologic vegetable garden where we try to grow all the vegetables we need. The buildings are old so there is need for renovate and paint a lot.

    In the vegetable garden there are three greenhouses and we've built a big wooden box for growing and filled it with dry grass, manure and soil. And then we have a lot of small boxes for growing in. Out in the field there is also a big area for potatoes, onions, carrots and pumpkins. Our goal is to grow all our vegetables and this season the plan is to get started with sweet potatoes both in a greenhouse and on the field.

    The hens died during an attack from a marten two years ago, and it was so hard on us so there has been none since that. But now we're about to get ready to start over. So planning of where to put the new chicken house and area are ongoing, and hopefully getting built this season.

    The farm is in a beautiful area with forest and lakes and many hours can be spent in the nature both during the volunteering and on freetime on your own. You can come around whit bicycle or of course walking. If you plan to go the city we will take you to the bus.

    THIS SUMMER !
    We are fixing some of the boxes for growing vegetables, replacing and painting with the Swedish falufärg (red paint), fixing fences, doing everything regular in gardening. There is always open for something to make it a nicer place, just waiting for ideas to come or maybe you bring them =)
    It´s also time to get a new dog in the house, it will be a grownup and probably a Basenji.

    Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

    We like to talk with other people and learn about how things work out in other countries, cultures and likewise. In our house there is room for playing and singing all kinds of music. We are involved in the swedish folk music as well, and do a lot of singer songwriter kind of music when we want to.

    We are definitely not off-grid but we like the ideas of it and work towards it. Solar energy systems is now connected , taking care of rainwater, recycling systems and so. We´re sorting trash, recycling and composts as far as possible.

    Our life is relaxed though working all day long, we like to be in motion. We also like to hang out with neighbors or friends and you will be a part of whatever we do. We are experienced in having woofers going back many years, and now for the last eight years it's been workawayers staying here. Everyone have liked it and felt good taking care of, so we guess that its easy to get a home feeling for you. Please contact us if you wanna know more, and feel free to contact earlier workawayers to get their story.
