Detox Retreat Centre with Organic Garden
Västra Götaland
Hello WWOOFER, I am a retired airline pilot with a passion for healthy living and self sustainable farming practices. My Wife Christina and I founded the Detox and Fasting retreat centre 2022, on our 24 hectre farm, located on the magnificant west coast of Sweden. We host Wellness Retreats for international and local guests.
We have two cats that live with us and are an integral part of our family.
We have a fully operational 8 metre green house and adjoining veggie garden that produces food for the Retreat Centre.
We transfer seedling from the heated main house into the green house around mid to end April. Seedling are placed into the garden beds a few weeks later. The green house and garden need daily love and care to ensure a successful production of food for the Centre. We also have a sprout house operating out of the Green house.
There is plenty to see and do both here on the Farm and the surrounding penisual. The ocean is 3 km away (30 min by foot). We have two bicycles on the property available for use. We enjoy food production, cooking, raw food/plant based. I have a passion for herbal and natural medicine. We have an Ice bath and Sauna that we like to utilize along with Wim Hoff style breathing exercise's. We enjoy meditation, Yoga, Hapey and exploring Spirituality.
There is much to see, do and explore on the nearby peninsula, with a few interesting and cute fishing villages nearby. Bus routes make travelling easy.
What kind of work are we mostly doing and what is needed around here?
We have a thriving greenhouse that is a source of great delight. In the garden, we are preparing the soil, working with compost, and bokashi, seeding, growing, weeding, and best of all the harvesting. We love to work as much as possible with vegan types of compost and mulch and implement different possibilities for creating long-term better soil and beds.
Who are we looking for?
Happy, healthy, open people who are into working with sustainable growing & living concepts. A spiritual perspective would be an advantage, as would a love for guitar. We love to work with people who are flexible in working in different areas of the farm such as in the garden, forest, green house, raised beds, and kitchen. We have a sprout house for growing sprouts in the greenhouse. We are mostly vegans with a love for Raw Food cuisine. If you are interested in learning about herbs and plant based medicines then this is for you.
Knowledge of organic growing is welcome, but not necessary. An open heart and mind is the most important. :-)
The work days is around 5 hours a day, 5 days a week. It would be nice if you can be here at least 2 weeks up to 1 month or maybe even longer. A personal connection is important which we will mutually feel out in our time together.
Skills with social media/photography would be a plus.
We are currently needing assistance in the veggie garden
What about sleeping, eating and washing?
We have room in the main house and capsule. We have place for up-to 2 Wwoofers (a couple) or a single person. You will have your own room. There’s also space for putting up a tent if you wish or staying in our forest capsule if there are no bookings.
You share the kitchen with us and have your own bathroom. No drugs including alcohol and tobacco are allowed. No smokers please.
Because we care for people who are sensitive to smells and odors, we ask you to only use organic hygienic products and cleaning products, and that you avoid smoking and incense. We will provide bed linen and towels.
We prepare and have lunch and dinners (warm, organic vegan buffet, salads, stews or stirfry's ) together in the main house most days. Breakfast is usually a smoothie. In the evening after dinner, we often do a sunset Hapey ceremony.
There is a washing machine in in the main house where you can do your laundry.

I've spent 2 wonderful weeks with Christina & Malcom in their detox center.
The experience was really great and well as excepted / written on the profil. There are many things to do around (even in winter) & the tasks for the wwoofer are multiple which is also great. I had the opportunity to have my own room / place, which was really fantastic.
I could write so much more about Christina & Malcom, but I will be synthetic : MERCI BEAUCOUP !

I spent one month at the International Wellness Farm and I wish I could have stayed longer! I stayed in the main house with Malcom and Christina and I felt welcomed right from the start. The work looked different each day but mainly consisted of harvesting and planting vegetables in the garden, cleaning and changing the sheets in guest rooms, dishes, lawn care and cooking! I also enjoyed getting to know a variety of guests during my stay.
I had many new experiences during my stay and was able to explore the area of Bokenas which was beautiful! Malcom and Christina answered any questions I had about the work on the farm, the herbs and plant based medicines they provide and ways of healthy living! I could not have asked for a better WWOOFing experience. Thank you Malcom and Christina for everything!

Thank you Malcolm and Christina for a rewarding and insightful summer. My time at Int. Wellness Farm was filled with personal growth, meaningful connections, delicious meals, and beautiful natural surroundings. During my free time, I enjoyed walking to a nearby beach. The accommodations were clean and comfortable. On a typical workday I helped with juicing, cleaning bedrooms and bathrooms, assisting in the kitchen and with the dishwasher, and assisting Malcolm and Christina with whatever was needed. Malcolm and Christina are kind, warm, and passionate people who make you feel at home. This was a unique and enriching opportunity that I'll always remember.

A life changing 3 months at the International Wellness Farm. An incredible experience to say the least! I am beyond grateful to have had such a wonderful experience with Christina and Malcolm, and their two beautiful cats Tigger and Baloo. The vegan food they serve is out of this world! Working in the greenhouse, and looking after the property was a very rewarding job. Being able to eat the fruits of your own labour is a wonderful thing. The accomodation was fantastic. I was put up in a guest room with an ensuite (and a king bed!)
Malcolm has extensive knowledge on natural health and detoxing, and is very willing to teach if you’re willing to learn. Malcolm and Christina are fair, and truely wonderful people with hearts of pure gold.
Thank you so much Christina and Malcolm. The Wellness Farm has exceeded all my expectations and will be a place that will forever have a special significance in my heart

Reply from Malcolm
It was an absolute pleasure to have had Ben with us. His vibrant personality, willingness to roll up his sleeves to help out, and his keen proactive mind made him a valuable asset in our day to day operations both in the veggie garden and also with our Detox guests.
(Ben's unexpected technical skill a diesel mechanic came in handy with at the last minute, saving the day).
We highly recommend Ben as a valuable addition to your WWOOFer project.
