  Description

  Hi!
  We are a Dutch family of four, Twin teens and our rescue dog Yara, We have bought an old abandoned farm in Northern Sweden and we are trying to bring it back to life again! Even though this is our first year, we are full of plans. So think chicken, turkey, veggie garden, rabbits, sheep. But first we need to renovate the house, big shed, create animal shelters and make our land ready for veggies.
  We are situated in Lapland, so think endless forests, lakes and rivers and a lot of snow in wintertime! The big city is an hours drive away. We have a caravan, mobilhome, big tent and offocurse the house to stay in.
  Are you as excited as we are? Join us on our adventure!

  For now we are really looking for help with the building projects, so renovating the house, bring life into the waterwell and turn the huge shed into animal shelters. We have a plot of forest that we need to take down to bring a piece of meadow back.

  Accommodation

  Caravan, tent or a room in the house. Offcourse you are welcomed as a part of the family, so don't worry about food. That's been taken care of.

  What else ...

  Our rescue dog is still a little traumatised, so she needs a little while to get to know you. But if you give her time, she'll be your best friend.
