The experience

Welcome!

Our farm is home to a large family and has been in our family since 1802. In the old days, farms had diverse production, and families were self-sufficient. Farms also played an important social role in their communities. This is our vision for the future.

We invite you to be part of our everyday life — a life filled with love and trust. Caring for our farm is more than work; it’s a way of living. The tasks are social, physical, and

Program Details

We have many plans for the future of our farm, including building new things and repairing the old. There are always projects happening — both big and small.

In general, the plan might look something like this:

**March, April, May:**
- **9:00 AM:** We walk together to the barn, milk the goats, feed them, and clean their space.
- **11:30 AM:** We have lunch together.
- **12:30 PM:** We plant, water, and care for the flowers in the greenhouse.

**June, July:**
- **9:00 AM:** We clean the goat barn and lead the goats out to pasture.
- **11:30 AM:** Lunch. Before and after lunch, we work on various projects. Maybe we’re fixing fences for the goats, painting a building, tending to the strawberry plants, giving the vegetable garden some love, or upgrading the chicken coop.

No two days are alike. No matter what the plan is, something unexpected almost always comes up that needs attention. Here, we take each day as it comes — and you’re welcome to join.
