🌱 Sustainable Farm Life in Northern Sweden
The experience
Welcome to our small farm in Filitjärn, in the beautiful countryside of northern Sweden. We are gradually building a more sustainable and self-sufficient way of life here. Our goal is to develop the farm over time through growing our own food, keeping animals, renovating and improving the buildings, and making better use of the resources available on the farm.

Program Details
Welcome to be a part of our ongoing farm project. Depending on the season and your interests, this may include simple practical tasks around the property, maintaining things, working with firewood, or helping us develop ideas for a more sustainable future on the farm. You don't need to be an expert – curiosity, initiative and a willingness to learn are more important.
Activities & Shift
Your daily responsibility will be to feed and look after our two dogs, sheep and chickens, and to make sure the house stays warm. The house is heated with a wood-fired heating system, so you will need to take care of the firewood and heating, particularly during cold periods.
Rules
We value responsible people who are comfortable taking initiative and solving everyday practical problems. This is our home rather than a commercial farm or tourist accommodation. We hope to find someone who will enjoy becoming part of the place for a while and treating the animals, house and farm with the same care that we do.
