Program Details

In 2025 we have a project to turn two large trees into firewood. Therefore, we need volunteers who are fit to carry and chop firewood.

Other tasks will be:
* General maintenance of the buildings on the farms such as carpentry
* Painting. With many buildings on the property, there is always something to paint and prepare to paint.
* Gardening (cutting hedges, weeding, pruning fruit trees, etc)
* Help in the organic herb garden/greenhouse
* Cop and prepare firewood
* Help around the house
* Cleaning

Please let us know in your message which tasks interest you the most and if you have any experience in them.

Activities & Shift

The volunteers will have private rooms in a large private farmhouse they will share with other volunteers. The house is a short 8-minute walk from our house.

On your free time you can explore the nature, go on hikes, fishing in the lake or canoe.

Rules

The volunteers have to keep the house they live in tidy and clean themselves.
No smoking inside the house.
No party in the house.
