Call out for Nov/Dec. We are planting 10000 trees and putting our Alleycropping system from design into the real world. So if you are not afraid of using a spade and a wheelbarrow. Join us and be part of creating our new fruittree nursery.
1. Describe your project, your place, and its inhabitants (including animals):
Our small scale farm is situated just 8 km south of Århus centrum. Surrounded by beautiful forest and 4 km from the beach. We yearn to create a living lab for regnerative lifepractice. We want to create several individual small enterprises working together on the same area. We are in our first year of production and want to create a agroforestry system with alley cropping. We are working on converting grasland to productive living soil. Our basic activities for this year is a no-dig market garden producing vegatables and a plant nursery for fruit- and nuttrees specialised in old varieties. We want to involve the local communities depending on the workload at hand. A helping hand from you could help create more social activities for music events, retreat and social workweekend.
2. List the activities that WWOOFers will participate in and what you want to teach them:
During summer it will mainly be within vegetable production. In autumn it will shift to work in the plant nursery for fruit and nut trees.
3. How will you feed and house WWOOFers? Please describe your accommodations and plan for meals:
There are three small rooms sharing one bathroom/toilet. Kitchen and Living room is shared area during daytime and in the evening. Breakfast and basic lunch is available in the kitchen. Dinner is prepared together and enjoyed together during the week when time allows it. Dinner is mainly vegetarian,
4. What could a WWOOFer's day look like at your site (time slot for participation in activities, expectations...)?
Working hours, specially in summertime will be early morning before temperatures rise too much for harvesting vegetables. Before work we practice yoga and meditation. The field is 100 m away. Small breaks will are normally taken in the field.
5. Play the guide! Talk about your own hobbies (music, cooking, etc.) and those possible around (hiking, swimming, etc.):
The surroundings invite for walking, running and biking in the nearby forest "Hørret Skov" and Moesgaard Strand. Århus is within reach by bike or bus (every 10 min during the day) with a variety of cultural offerings. I am a passionate Tango danser, Yoga practioner and Judo teacher for kids.
