We are (by Danish standards) a small farm of 24 ha
where we have both forest, grain, grass, vegetables, fruit, hops, a greenhouse, goats, pigs, chickens, dog and cat.
In addition to this, we also have a brewery on the farm where we make beer, a wood workshop, a cafe and shop.
our idea with the farm is to make us as self-sufficient as possible in the cafe, the brewery, the workshop.
Since we do so many different activities, there is something to do, on the farm all year round, so we are therefore open for wwoofer all year round.
In the field, you must sow, plant, weed, harvest, build fences and pick fruit, pine needles and hops
In the cafe/shop, a lot of vegetables have to be washed and chopped, cakes and bread baked, meatballs fried, rye bread spread, served and washed up. and pack vegetables for sale in the stall, put labels on beer and boil syrup
in addition, there will be maintenance of buildings.
When you are here. we try to get you involved both in the field and in the cafe. so you both help produce the vegetables and the meat and help transform it into food for the customers in the cafe.
if you have the opportunity to be here 1-2 months or more, you will have the opportunity to try many of the skills, and see coherence in our farm.
if you are here for a short time, there will also be many things you can learn.
when you come here you work 5 hours a day for 6 days
so there is plenty of time each day to get out and see the island.
it is different what time of day you start, as it depends on the task you have to do.
we try to make a plan for 1 month at a time. but since much of our work depends on the weather, there may well be changes.
we have two farms that are about 300 meters apart, we, the cafe/shop, workshop are on one
The wwoofers live on the second, here there are 7 rooms, a large shared kitchen and living room, there is free internet. for the most part you can have your own room. but if there are many wwoofers there may be periods when there are 2 in a room.
In the summer, there are many wwoofers who want to stay with us, so you will often get to share a room with another wwoofer.
we cook in the middle of the day, and the wwoofers themselves cook breakfast and dinner together from the food they get from us, (most of the food we eat comes from the farm's own organic production)
We have bikes you can borrow. So in your spare time you can cycle around and see the island
there is approx. 500 meters to a good swimming beach, 1 km up to our shelters where you can camp. The island is about 25 km long, so you can reach it all by bicycle
You are always welcome to write and ask if there is more you want to know
In winter, we can have 1-3 Wwoofer. In the spring and autumn , we can have 3-5 Wwoofer. In summer we can have 10-14 Wwoofer
