1. Describe your project, your place, and its inhabitants (including animals):
Hello dear woofer and thank you for your interest in our lovely farm Esagergård.
Esagergård has been run by the Nørby family since 1933 and in 1998 I bought the farm, converted it to organic in 2000 and is today a very versatile organic farm. We have 10 hectares with over 60 kinds of vegetables, 300 egg-laying hens, 15 hectares of grain and 5 hectares. green manure. Much of what we produce is sold through our farm shop, the rest through CSA, restaurants and other smaller shops. We work with regenerative cultivation, no-ploughing, building soil fertility and use our green manure as fertilizer for the fields. We are self-sufficient on the farm with many things - i.e. we use almost no external fertilizer and our energy comes from our own wind turbine and solar cells. In this way, we do our best to create sustainable, high-quality food production. When you come here as a wwoofer, we will share our knowledge with you and we will give you a very practical experience of how to run a small farm - and gain an understanding of growing vegetables.
2. List the activities that WWOOFers will participate in and what you want to teach them:
Pack, look after, clean, harvest vegetables and other outstanding work.
3. What could a WWOOFer's day look like at your site (time slot for participation in activities, expectations...)?
Start at 8 AM and stop working 14 PM. Participate in tasks alone or together with the other helpers. You will have to cook your own food, but sometimes we want to invite you for dinner.
4. Play the guide! Talk about your own hobbies (music, cooking, etc.) and those possible around (hiking, swimming, etc.):
I work a lot of hours during the season, but I make time for sports like football and mountain biking a few times a week. In the area there is beautiful nature for hiking and 5 km to the beach. We are close to Stevens Klint, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site
