GUL

You will learn about Sweden and Swedish country living and we hope to learn about you, where you come from and your culture. Eco farming, baking, fermenting, beekeeping, building, gardening and everything else we can share.
We are both very driven and have had several businesses before and got lots of experience to share.
We hosted over 80 volunteers for the last 7 years using another exchange platform.

We are Anders and Magdalena with our kids August 15 and Greta 13. We are creative family that left the city life in Malmö behind 14 years ago, bought and old farm and started over. We have no idea of what we are doing but it seems to work. "it will be fine" is what we live by. Here we live the year around and run a popular organic cafe and a second hand/vintage furniture shop from late spring to mid autumn. We also started arranging live music at the farm in the summertime. We only have one acres of land that we try to utilise the best to our knowledge. We don't take any shortcuts. We do everything by ourselves and learned everything after we moved here and we do have an alternative, ecological and sustainable lifestyle which we feel we are obligated to. You should have the same interest and ... food should also be very important for you. One might say that we have an alternative lifestyle but thats not how we see it. We are the ones that are normal and the ones living the so called "normal" lifes are the alternative. We used to work as self employed in the creative business where Magdalena designed clothes and Anders was an active filmartist for 25 years. We live in an old traditional house from the southern part of Sweden from the end of the 18th century and build/repair everything on the farm with recycled/repurposed wood. In September 2022 we purchased another small farm close to us that we are currently renovating from scratch. You will share sleeping area with other volounteers from time to time and it's an outdoor composting toilet and outdoor shower (with hot water).
