🏠 Accommodation on site

For the accommodation you can choose between a shared little yurt (3-4 people) or your own tend (we can provide the tend or you bring yours). There is also a bigger comfortable yurt – but it will serve more for a common living room, office by need, ect. We have two compost toilets (one outside and one in the house) – that we also empty ourselves on a regular basis. We have one outside solar shower and one shower in the house. We cook vegan and vegetarian food and, occasionally, we can also eat meat. There is a non alcohol and drug policy on the farm.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: The people we are welcoming are people interested in a sustainable lifestyle, natural building, ecological farming and simple life style in nature without overwhelming luxury. Most of our activities and also basic infrastructure (shower, toilet) is outside. The work can sometimes be quite physical. Its for people that want to make a change in their lives, towards living in a bigger connection with nature. We will have activities and meals in the big group, but mainly we will work in smaller groups. The landscape of the farm and nature around also makes personal and alone time possible.
Deadline: Application deadline: 28/02/2023
