The place of many firsts. From day one, I knew this was going to be a great experience when Karen took me to see the young forest in the ATV. This was my first experience as a WWOOFer, and I would go back in a heartbeat. Well, actually, I would go back with full awareness ;). ​During this month and a half, I learned about planting, caring for crops, understanding organic farming processes, and the vital importance of how we treat the earth. Karen is an expert who shares her knowledge in a genuine and easy-to-understand way. The whole family makes you feel right at home during every shared dinner and through every kind gesture throughout the stay. ​The days fly by. We start at 9:00 AM with the animals, making sure they have plenty of food and water. After that, there is always a task to do, and they are all very diverse. Around 1:00 PM, we take a break for lunch, and in the afternoon you can explore the area, rest... ​The accommodation Karen provides is wonderful; it brings so much peace and allows you to relax and have your own space. The food she provides is fabulous and completely organic. ​These have been an amazing few weeks that I already miss. But I know we will see each other again :) Thank you for everything!

Während meiner Zeit mit Nina, Michael und ihren tollen Kindern habe ich so viel gelernt. Über mich selbst, über die Permakultur und über den Umbau eines Hauses. Wir haben einen Holzboden gelegt, den Polytunnel fertig gestellt, die Beete darin vorbereitet und diese bepflanzt. Nina war bedacht, dass ich Projekte fertigstellen konnte. Sie hat mir (mit ihrer Unterstützung) die Planung des Küchengartens anvertraut und ich durfte dort einsäen, was man um diese Zeit eben noch unter die Erde bringen kann. Ich genoss den morgendlichen Austausch mit Nina darüber, was ansteht für den Tag und das gemeinsame oder selbstständige Arbeiten. Michael ist, neben seinen organisatorischen Skills, der geborene Gastgeber, kocht unglaublich lecker und kümmerte sich um mögliche Erlebnisse für uns Wwoofer in der Region. Die Familie hat mich mit offenen Armen aufgenommen und ist mir mit unglaublich viel Vertrauen begegnet. Sie sind sehr engagiert, authentisch und warmherzig. Meine Fähigkeiten wurden geschätzt und gezielt eingesetzt, sodass ich mich gut entfalten konnte. Ich habe gerne im Zelt geschlafen, die Gemeinschaftsräume geschätzt und trotzdem auch gemütliche Rückzugsorte gefunden. Tyskegaard ist ein kleines Paradies, welches noch im stetigen Wandel ist. Darum würde ich diesen Ort allen von Herzen empfehlen, die gerne etwas Neues mitgestalten wollen, einen naturnahen Alltag geniessen und sich vorstellen können ein Teil des Familiengeschehens zu sein. Ich bin super dankbar für die Zeit!

I had a wonderful time here, I was originally going to stay for a couple of weeks and ended up staying for a month and a half. They were vary patient and accommodating with my constant plan changes. The work is varied enough to not get too repetitive and you can always take your time with the harder tasks. The rooms are very nice, clean and confortable, as well as the main house. Everything is very well taken care of.

My month in the garden at Himmerlands Boarding School was incredible. Maria is a very kind and welcoming person. She made me feel at home from the day I arrived. The days started early, but thanks to the great atmosphere with Maria and the other WWOOFers, work was always enjoyable. We took care of the garden and animals, planted and harvested vegetables, and contributed to the school's daily life. Although not all the ingredients came from the garden, the food was delicious, and I enjoyed every meal. The house where we stayed was very warm, and we even helped decorate it, which was a lot of fun. I hope to come back someday. Thank you for everything!

I spent three weeks here and it was an incredible first experience. Anne-Marie and Verner are lovely hosts, always kind and ready to help. We only worked mornings, with a variety of tasks. The setting is beautiful, with a large lake nearby, and it's easy to get to Copenhagen by bus in your free time. The meals are very good and the food is excellent. Despite my limited English, Anne-Marie and Verner were always patient with me, helping me improve and making me feel comfortable.
