Description
We are a homeschool family with four freeliving kids, and in the summer 2021 we moved to this wonderful island of Bornholm. We live on a farm from 1940 with lots of space - very good situated with the woods behind the house and the open meadows in front. Since we are a homeschool family there is always a lot of life on the farm - kids around, friends and animals in one big beautiful mess🌿
Our passion is sustainable living on many levels. We try every day to feel joy and passion in the things we do and make our living meaningful. For our self and the people and world around us.
So this is us: Anna (14 years) loves to do theatre and to make creative projects with her hands. Seewing and cooking. And being a scout. Mille (12 years) is totally into animals and nature. Especially horses. She also loves to read and write stories. Magnus (10 years) is full of energy. He loves to play football and climb trees. But he also loves to play boardgames. Valde (8 years) likes to talk a lot (!). He also likes to cuddle in the sofa and hear a good story. Morten loves wood and to work with his hands as much as possible. Besides that he also works as a doctor in the hospital. I, Tina, am studying spiritual astrology, I am a gardenlover and a "rewilder" (yes - that's just my own made up word, but I am totally into rewilding of the beautiful and magic nature that we call our land). I love flowers and eatable plants and simply just being in the nature. And then we have 5 cats, 20 hens, 6 ducks, 2 horses, 7 sheep, 2 cows and a dog (and plan on pigs in the future).
What we live for is to build up a sustainable home: with animals and lots of food from our garden and forrest. With good and positive relationships to lovely friends. With joy and laughter and a good balance between chaos and order 💫
So this is our project but we need some help building it up! Maybe you?!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
At our place you will get an insight in how it is to be a big family living a life on a farm in peace with nature.
Since we are an openminded homeschool family into free living and learning we are a lot at home and we are eager to learn about the world around us. We don't travel much ourselves so to have people coming from all around the world really gives us another view at the world. Our kids are always eager to play a match of football and when the weather is good we would love to bring you with us to the beach. If you feel like it we share a dinner every monday :)
So the amount of interactions are also a bit up to you - we would love it if you share your passions with us (if you have skills in yoga, music, drawing, plants, woodworking, whatever.... if you have something you wanna share then we are eager to learn!) If you are more just looking for a place to find peace this is also totally okay and we will fully respect that!
We think that in all interactions between people there are so much positive to learn. If we meet each other respectfully it is almost impossible not to gain❤️
Help
This year we would love to have someone full of good energy helping out in our kitchen garden. Sowing and weeding in the spring and weeding and harvesting in the late summer. You don't have to have any skills in this area beforehand as long as you are open to learn :)
So if you like meaningful, physical tasks in the garden, and also appreciate time and space for your own then we might be a match! All in all we are very flexible and are willing to find a good balance in all of it for all of us! 🌱

Accommodation
Your accommodation will be in our riding hall where we have set up a cozy little cabin. It has got just one room plus a compost toilet. There is shower outside.
We are non-smokers, and you are not allowed to smoke in any buildings. Drugs or getting drunk on our property is strictly forbidden.
We prefer to make a deal were you help us around 3 hours/5 days per week, and then it is only the accommodation that is included. We are not providing food, meals or grocery shopping.
So summing up, we are able to offer you:
+ lovely space to stay right in nature
+ tasks for you to help us independently or together with one of us 3 hours a day 5 days a week
+ lots of time and space for you to have on your own
+ a view into an alternative family lifestyle
We would prefer that you could stay here for at least two weeks, so we all have time "to land" and to get into an "normal day routine" together.
What else ...
Our farm is situated in the middle of the beautiful countryside, with our own woods in the back and a big grass meadow in the front.
Bornholm is a beautiful and a little bit secluded part of Denmark. There are no big cities and no motorways, and everyday life here is slower and more relaxed. There are a million things to enjoy here on Bornholm! Cute little cities like Allinge, Gudhjem and Svaneke and beautiful and unspoiled nature. The island is well-known for outdoor activities, as well as archeological and historical sites. In the high-seasons (June-sep), there is a lot of music venues and cultural stuff to experience. A lot less off-season, but the nature on the island is inspiring and amazing throughout the year.
If you go northeast from here, you come by a waterfall, amazing views along the coast, and nice beaches, some sandy and some made of flat rocks. If you go west of the farm you will find inland forest and meadows. (The last two pictures are from the forest just behind our backyard and the nearby beach. The rest of the pictures are from are own land).
There are buses going across the island as well.
If you like the ocean, beaches, rocks, nature, arts and pittoresque little cities, then Bornholm is perfect for you. If you like to contribute with meaningful outdoor work, being mindful and positive and meet the world with a honest heart and smile in your eyes then you might be just who we are looking for!
