Life and activities on an eco-community farm
Hästekasen Farm and adventure center in Sweden is looking for volunteers to be here 6 months:
First month preparation for arrival of 12 more volunteers. As an applicant we ask you to be interested in being a leader and have previous experience with this. You will also have to be a fairly practical person since everything here is based on manual work. For the right person longer stay may be possible.
In the second month we will be 17 people that will run a simple household together and build with clay, straw and wood. Maybe also some cement and stone work with a well.
