Small and cosy place in the heartlands of Östavall, Sweden

  Descrição

  We are Jessica and Rory, a Belgian-Irish couple in our 40's. After travelling for years (often as Workawayers) we found home in the middle-north of Sweden, population density 3 people per square kilometer. Our small farm is surrounded by forest and located on a 4km long peninsula in one of the biggest lakes of the area.
  We have 2 dogs, Ben & Louie, 4 cats, 15 chickens, 4 mama sheep and a happy bunch of lambs.

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  Of course you will experience and learn a lot about animals and gardening. Furthermore, Rory is into bushcraft, and Jes is a professional cook who loves growing and making her own food things (wine, sourdough bread and other fermented stuff) so if that's your thing, you'll love it here.
  There is a ton of material and loads of space on the farm. So if you have any ideas for a new project, shoot!

  Ajuda

  There is always something to do on a farm. We have a big vegetable garden, lots of berry bushes, old buildings... that are in constant need of care and attention. But our main focus is always the dogs.
  Ben and Louie need big walks and lots of cuddles. Most of the time Rory will walk them, but sometimes he is away. We think couples / duo's will thrive best here because our boys are big and strong. Louie is a lot lighter and easier to handle, Ben is quite heavy and stronger. But if you have experience with dogs and you're confident you can handle two big boys on your own, then we'd love to hear from you too.
  We have sheep and chickens, who don't need a lot of care in summer, but are fun to watch :-)
  
  We both have jobs that require us to get up at 4:20. After work, we take care of the animals, eat dinner, read our books and go to bed at 9 (yes, 9!) That is also why we think couples will do better here: we are not very social during the work week :-)) But if you like your peace and quiet, solo travelers are welcome too.
  But on day offs and weekends we love to show you around, have camp fires, share experiences!
  
  Consider that we have a simple diet. We eat porridge. We bake our own bread. We eat lots of eggs (from our own chickens) and potatoes (from our land) and vegetables (not always from our own land as the growing season is short). We eat meat maybe twice a week, preferably from our own animals. We don't buy fancy ingredients. We don't usually buy organic (we would like to, but we live on a tight budget). We would like you to eat like we do (meaning: in the same budget). If you are attached to eating certain expensive foods, we would like you to pay for those yourself.
  Note to vegans / vegetarians: we don't buy you daily meat replacement products as we find them expensive and full of crap (mostly cheap oils). Once or twice a week is fine, but look for protein rich recipes based on legumes, mushrooms, seeds,... or ask Jes for advice.

  Acomodação

  The workawayer's den is most often 'Emma', the cosy caravan. There is a small kitchen and dry toilet in there. But you can use the bathroom and kitchen of the main house and we even have a second living room where you can chill, read or use the internet.
  There is also a guest house that we rent out or use for family visits. But if there is no guests, workawayers can use it.

  Algo mais...

  If you have your own transport, you will have more freedom to discover the wider area. If you don't mind spending your freetime at the farm, in the surrounding forests or at the lake, then you can get here by plane + train (Ånge station). We can pick you up at the train station.
