Market garden and pastured layers on the High Coast of Sweden
Västernorrland
Hej! My name is Jenny, I'm a vegetable gardener and my partner Tinh is a tree guy. Together we run a small farm with a 1500m² no-dig market garden and have 300 laying hens in a mobile chicken house. My child Nova (7) lives with us, as well as our cat Toph, while my son Jari (12) visits us during holidays.
During a typical day, we are feeding and giving water to the hens, collect eggs, move fences and the hens house and in between take care of the vegetable garden (could be everything from preparing beds, planting, weeding, harvesting, weeding, watering, did I mention weeding? ;-) Sometimes we have a building or renovation project going on, where you can help too, or preserve vegetables for the winter. On hot days we like to take a swim in the creek or drive to a nearby lake (with sauna).
We eat breakfast, lunch and dinner together and take turns preparing meals. We have a small cabin by the creek (without electricity) with two beds and a house bus with 2,5 beds (one is a narrow bunk bed maybe suitable for a child). We share the kitchen and the bathroom in the house (note that during really dry summer periods the well might run dry, that means compost toilet and camping shower).
I like hiking, dancing, and baking. Tinh is into knitting, playing piano and clarinette and sailing. The High Coast area is very good for hiking (Höga kusten leden) and the Baltic Sea is not too far away. The next bigger town is Härnösand with Museum Västernorrland among others.

We had a truly wonderful and welcoming week with Jenny and Tinhs.
We definitely recommend this woofing experience!
