I am a 73 years old woman living on a small property in a charming village in the beautiful countryside of Södermanland. I am now retired from my work at the Swedish Migration Board. I live alone but my two children 31 and 33 years old and their families sometimes are at home. I have a small organic garden where I grow strawberries, raspberries, potatoes, carrots, beans, peas, beetroot, zucchini, lettuce, kale, herbs, and flowers. I also have a greenhouse for tomatoes, cucumber, herbs, eggplant, and peppers. My garden also has black- and redcurrants, apple trees, and pears. In the big barn, I have 15 hens and hopefully chickens in the summertime. I need help with all the different works around gardening, taking care of the hens and cleaning the stall, and working with woodcutting and wood-splitting. There is often some painting works to be done and this year I have some constructing projects like building a car-port. I can host 1-2 people at a time and you can stay at my house. All meals are provided and we prepare them together. Other I have bicycles and canoes to borrow. There is a beautiful big lake with many islands only less than 2 km away and there are beautiful surroundings for running or bike trips. There is also a sauna in the garden. We like folkmusic.
Certifications: I´m not producing for any market just for myself and my family's needs.
