Hej!
Welcome to my place!
Well, I could write quite a lot about me and my site, but I'll try to make it short,
Now it's already quite some years ago that I started everything here. Initally it was a family retreat for many generations. Then out of joy i started cultivating an endemic hop variety, something I still do. Now plenty of years later it is my home and has become a self-sustaining place, where I cultivate heirloom vegetables, breed chicken, have an annual festival, teach about and do cheese, traditional scandinavian food processing and beer brewing (with our hops). I tan leather, make herbal medicine and much more. I made as well lot of carpentry and restored our old log cabins from the 18th century. All together my aim was and is to provide, create and teach about how life and lifestyle could continue into a new, resilient and better future out of our current disrupting world. Its basically processing utopia. That’s why I even extended the spiritual part of me. Something that I have carried since ever and I am pretty good at
So, that’s why every year is different; the setting of people and circumstances, the challenges, the tasks, the possibilities. But, it's always great and every year we have great stories, new ones about the future life paths, and older ones of former workaways.

Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
Here is a list of things you might experience and enjoy whilst staying with us. However, everything you do depends on the time of year you visit, so please ask me what kind of opportunities there will be.
For example, you might:
• Learn about circle economy, sustainable living and (heirloom) food production
• Find your inner calm, build resilience, and become your most authentic self. The farm is in the heart of nature so is the perfect opportunity to escape the pressures and intensity of day-to-day life.
• Have some great parties! If you are here when we host our festival you can help me with that.
• Learn to improve your skills in cultivating things in the most natural way.
• Learn a lot about nature, medicinal herbs, and how to use them in teas, or balms and creams.
• Take a bath in the beautiful lake.
• Take trips to the West coast and Gothenburg. Dependant on the weather, we can have all sorts of adventures.
• Take trips to the national park, Tresticklan is amazing!
• Fish in the lake, Lelång, and try some delicious fresh fish for.
• Enjoy great Scandinavian food in the outdoor kitchen or on the cast iron stove.
• Embrace some spirituality. I can teach or help you with some spiritual skills if it feels right.
• Learn about different mushrooms to pick and cook in the local environment.
• Take a trip to our sauna to enjoy the many health benefits of sauna bathing.
• Learn about a lot of things you might not even know existed… for example tobacco fermentation, craftwork, vegetable preservation, cheese and yoghurt making, bread making and lots more!
Ajuda
It would be fantastic if you had some skills or at least a feeling for gardening.
It would be great if you had interests, skills or hobbies that you could implement!
It’s important to remember that our goal is to have fun and enjoy yourself!!
It would even be great if you like to take responsibilities and initatives, like problem-solving - and of course - beeing social is important.
The work itself is not difficult. Its mostly giving an helping hand with the daily tasks that occure with living on the countryside having some animals, veggies, hops and other daily stuff.
Everything else we do are projects that we decide together with you and other workawayers would be fun to do.
Yea,and of course: Be sure you like beeing in the nature and that you are openminded to everything. This is a place that challenges ourself, gives a lot and heals.

Acomodação
There are several older buildings ("Stuga") made for separate accommodation, but bathrooms are shared by everyone. There is a shower, and a washing machine. You can also take a bath in the lake whenever you want to. It’s the perfect place to wash and relax. Breakfast and lunch you will cook for yourself, or you can help yourself to left over food. Every evening, we cook a big communal meal for everyone to come together and share time to catch up and chat. If we have completed a project, we might celebrate at home or even to the west coast for a weekend.
Algo mais...
In your free time, you can hike and go fishing around the corner. We also have a canoe. In a couple of hours by car you can visit Gothenburg or Oslo. In 1 hour, you can reach one of the small cities at the west coast. And 45 min away there is an amazing national park! There is also loads to do in and around the farm so you will definitely not be bored!
