  Description

  A Working Homestead of Faith, Healing, and Purpose
  
  Hello,
  My name is Oskar. I’m 30 years old. After years of traveling, volunteering, and learning about natural living and farming, I’ve finally landed in a place that feels like home. I’m slowly building a small homestead here. Centered on healing, simplicity, and walking in the teachings of Jesus.
  
  The dream is to create a peaceful retreat. A quiet place where people can come to rest, be in nature, and experience the beauty of natural health. One part of that vision is something called the milk diet. It’s an old remedy that’s been used for centuries. Hippocrates used it, and later on in the early 1900s, many Western doctors did too, before medicine became so industrialised. I’ve seen it work in a powerful way, and I plan to have it in action this autumn.
  
  The retreat itself isn’t open yet. I’m still laying the foundation. Right now I’m working on making goat milk gelato to support the foundation of the retreat financially.
  
  I live here with about 10 goats. They provide milk and a lot of company. My vision is also to create a self-sufficient homestead. Growing food, caring for animals, living simply, and doing all of it with gratitude and care for Gods creation. I’ve spent years learning about permaculture, animal care, beekeeping, and old crafts, but most of all, I try to live a life of service and love, rooted in the teachings of my Lord, Jesus Christ.
  
  This life is good, but it’s a lot of work too. That’s why I’m grateful for help from people who feel called to be part of something simple and real. If you’re someone who values faith, quiet, and hard work. and you’re open to learning, this might be a good place for you!
  
  The project is still growing, but there’s already a lot of fruitfulness and purpose in it. If any of this speaks to you, feel free to reach out.
  
  “But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” – Matthew 6:33
  
  With gratitude,
  Oskar

  Accommodation

  During your time here, you’ll be staying in my home—a peaceful, simple space. You’ll have your own cozy bed loft to rest and recharge after the day’s work. I provide hearty, home-cooked dinners, and if I’m not around during lunchtime, you’re welcome to enjoy leftovers or prepare something yourself with whatever’s available in the kitchen.
  
  You’ll also have free access to fresh, raw goat milk and homemade goat milk kefir—rich in nutrients and straight from the source. It’s one of the daily blessings of living close to the animals.
  
  When it comes to food, I follow a natural, ancestral-inspired diet focused on quality, local ingredients. I enjoy slow-cooked stews, barbecues, organic meats from nearby farms, and of course, dairy from my goats—cheese, milk, kefir, and yogurt are staples here. I also enjoy a variety of seasonal fruits and vegetables from the land or nearby growers.
  
  Each morning starts with a good cup of coffee, shared in stillness or conversation—whatever the moment calls for.
  
  I tend to avoid modern processed foods and stick to what’s nourishing and close to the earth. Besides some homemade bread and the occasional bit of rice, I don’t regularly include things like grains, beans, leafy greens, or nuts in my meals—I’ve found they’re often better suited for my goats! That said, I do enjoy treats like pizza, baked goods, or cookies now and then, as long as they’re made with real, wholesome ingredients.
  
  This is a place where food is more than fuel—it’s part of the healing, part of the rhythm, and part of the joy of life. If you enjoy meaningful meals, natural living, and a slower pace, you’ll feel right at home here.
