Welcome, WWOOFers 🌱🌿🌲🐐🕊️
My name is Juelie (47), and I live with my 17-year-old son in a beautiful natural setting in the hills of Southern Zealand, Denmark. We strive to live as self-sufficiently as possible, growing our own berries, fruits, vegetables, herbs, and medicinal plants — and we'd love for you to experience this way of life with us for a while.
I'm a biodynamic horticulture specialist with a deep interest in plant medicine and its spiritual dimensions. I'm also a passionate plant collector. Over the years, I've planted more than 300 different kinds of trees on the land, along with more than 500 edible and medicinal plants. This is a living, growing ecosystem that I've created and cared for largely with my own hands, and there's always something new growing, being built, repaired, explored, or learned.
I love working with my hands and express myself creatively through many different materials and crafts. There's a quiet joy and curiosity in making things yourself — even when the work is physically demanding.
A DIFFERENT WAY OF LIVING
One of the things that makes our place special is the way we try to live as naturally, simply, and independently as possible. We live without synthetic chemicals, and I make many of the things we use myself — soap, medicinal salves, balms, and natural skincare, as well as the food we preserve throughout the seasons: jams, porridges, juices, fermented foods, dried herbs, and other preserves that allow us to carry each season's abundance with us throughout the year.
Over the years, I've taught myself a wide range of traditional trades and crafts, which has been an essential part of building and developing the farm. I've renovated and built almost everything we need myself, working with wood, stone, clay, concrete and metal — from carpentry, masonry, timber framing, and stonework to cob building, drainage, welding, renovation, repair, and upcycling. Alongside these practical skills, I enjoy the slower, more tactile crafts of sewing, embroidery, weaving, felting, basketry, rope work, macramé, and leatherwork.
Creativity runs through all of it. I express myself through painting, woodcarving, pottery and ceramics, jewelry making, mosaic, and sculpture — often working with materials that might otherwise have been discarded. I also collect and cut our own firewood, which keeps us warm through the winter.
At the heart of it all are the plants. I run a small biodynamic nursery where I propagate, graft, and grow our plants and trees from seed or cutting, nurturing them into mature, fruit-bearing trees. Our garden follows permaculture and biodynamic principles, using no-dig, no-till methods that work with the living soil rather than against it.
It's a somewhat old-fashioned way of living — one that has become increasingly rare — and it means there are many opportunities here to learn practical, hands-on skills that are difficult to encounter in everyday modern life.
You don't need to arrive with any of these skills. Curiosity and a willingness to learn are much more important.
Alongside all this, I run a small B&B where guests come for nature, silence, and a genuine digital detox.
I also work part-time as a nurse.
WHAT WE ACTUALLY DO HERE
No two days look the same, and that's exactly how we like it. Depending on the season, you might find yourself:
• In the garden and orchard — harvesting berries, fruit, vegetables and herbs, collecting seeds, weeding, watering, propagating roses, potting plants, planting or relocating trees, preparing the soil and making beds
• In the forest — trimming, clearing, gathering, cutting and hauling wood
• In the kitchen — preparing and preserving food for winter, making marmalade, fermenting, drying herbs, or cooking together, sometimes over an open fire
• Making and building — we mainly use upcycled, reused, and natural materials. Past WWOOFers have helped build brick walls, paint the entry gate, and even build our little shop. I always have projects going on — right now that includes building a new garden house and a sweat lodge.
• Making natural products — depending on timing and length of your stay, you may get to learn how I make soaps, salves, balms, or other natural household and body-care products
• With the animals — feeding, caring or simply spending time with them. They need care, presence and affection, and it's an important part of life here.
• Around the B&B — cleaning and preparation for guests
For all of this, I'll teach you what you need to know — no prior experience is required. What matters most is a genuine willingness to learn, openness to guidance, and a desire to do things properly.
I'm quite detail-oriented and care deeply about presence and quality in the work we do together.
If something isn't working for either of us, we talk about it openly — that's how we keep things running smoothly and make the experience good for everyone.
OUR ANIMAL FAMILY 🐐🐈🐕🐓
We share our home with a very sweet bullmastiff, four adult cats (who often have kittens — fair warning, you may fall in love), three goats, and three chickens.
Animals are simply part of everyday life here. Caring for them, observing them, and spending time with them is one of the quiet pleasures of living here.
ACCOMMODATION & FOOD
You'll stay in one of two cozy forest cabins, both built from natural materials. One accommodates two people, while the other is suitable for one person or a couple. They offer genuine privacy and quiet.
Depending on the season, we eat indoors, outdoors, or around a campfire. Our food is organic/biodynamic, vegetarian, fully plant-based and homegrown whenever possible.
We're not early risers and usually fast in the mornings, so you're welcome to prepare your own breakfast and lunch if that suits your rhythm. You will have access to your own kitchen with organic food in the fridge. In the evenings, we come together for a nourishing shared dinner — often one of the best parts of the day, with good food and real conversation.
FREE TIME & SURROUNDINGS
Weekdays are generally for work; weekends are yours to rest, explore, or simply be.
You're always welcome to join our creative projects or spend time in the kitchen, but you're equally welcome to do absolutely nothing and simply enjoy the surroundings. Spending time with the animals is a favorite way for many WWOOFers to unwind.
Some weekends we visit local flea markets or events, or take trips to nearby beaches and Møn and you are welcome to join.
Two good bicycles are available, so you can easily explore on your own, including cycling the 4 km into town and to the train station. No car is needed — I'll pick you up when you arrive, and the bikes give you independence during your stay.
WHAT PAST WWOOF'ERS SAY
We've been welcoming WWOOFers for a year and a half now — from the US, France, Germany, Belgium, Slovakia, Czech Republic, and Denmark — and their words mean more to us than anything we could say ourselves:
"Juelie's property is just a magic land." — Zoé, France
"Juelie's farm contains unending wonders." — Jackie, United States
"The atmosphere on the farm was truly lovely." — Khaled, Germany
"It was even better than our expectations." — Samuel, Slovakia
"Nothing short of meant to be." — Madison, United States
"I am so impressed and inspired by the paradise she has created." — Grace, United States
"The most enjoyable and life-growing experience." — Elisa, France
"You're never going to be bored." — Amalie, Czechia
WHAT WE ASK OF YOU
This is a very different way of living, and we invite you to come with an open mind and a genuine willingness to experience a simpler, more connected way of life — close to nature and with respect for this sacred land.
We care deeply about keeping this place pure, peaceful, and free from unnecessary chemicals, pollution, and waste.
For this reason, we live a chemical-free life and kindly ask you to leave perfumes, scented deodorants, fragranced lotions, and conventional scented detergents at home. We will provide you with everything you need during your stay.
Our digital detox is another part of what makes this place special. There is no Wi-Fi anywhere on the property, and we don't use any wireless devices, including phones, outdoors.
Phone use is therefore limited to inside your cabin, and we ask that you come prepared to disconnect from the digital world for a while and embrace a slower pace of life.
We serve a fully plant-based, vegetarian diet. If you normally eat meat, we ask that you are comfortable following a vegetarian diet throughout your stay.
Before your arrival, we'll have a video call to get to know each other a little and make sure we're on the same wavelength and that the chemistry feels right on both sides.
Are you open-minded and open-hearted, genuinely curious and eager to learn, willing to contribute, unafraid to get your hands dirty, and ready to experience a different way of living?
If this resonates with you, we'd love to hear from you.
