Description
We are a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 kids of 14 and 7 years) with a big dream to make our farm a real organic paradise.
Our farm is a very old one (previous owners were not living there for about 15 years) therefore there is a lot to be done. We would like to make it beautiful and healthy again.
We would need help in renovating a house - painting the ceiling and walls, renovating some wooden furniture. Establishing electricity to the shed, building a greenhouse, Permaculture garden and planting a food forest. Every year we need to prepare wood for the heating (we have our own forest, so we need to cut it and chop in pieces).
In summer there is so much to do in a garden, therefore we also appreciate some help in cleaning a house and cooking.
Our kids like meeting new people. Daniel (14) speaks Russian, Latvian, English and Dutch. Jaroslava (7) speaks Russian, Latvian and a bit of English. We would like her to practice the language.
Families and people with kids are welcome.
We offer a place to stay in a room on the second floor or a tent (we can offer a tent, sleeping bags and mats), vegetarian food. We do yoga lessons (Shivananda), archery lessons (traditional hand bows avaliable), great company and a bit of sightseeing :) We have several goats, sheep, dogs and a cat.
We speak Russian, Latvian, English and Dutch.
Hope to see you!
