Program Details
It depends of the time of the year. We try to do farming in small scale close to arctic area. We grow our own organic potatoes, the old local potatoes varieties. We also try to grow some vegetables. We have sheep and we have big focus on good animal welfare. We also have focus on re-using, and to do farming in an economical and rational way without destroying the nature.
Activities & Shift
It depends of the time of the year. Sometimes we make plans but the sheep has another plan. We ask for flexible people. But we try to have good routines.
Rules
We ask for volunteers which do not need to use drugs or alcohol in our place. We ask for honest people who are not afraid to do physical tasks.
