Due to the presence of many animals and pets on our farm, we cannot accept visiting dogs. We've made numerous attempts in the past when people assured us their dogs were well-behaved, but we've encountered issues each time. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Thank you for your understanding.

The courses are quite intensive, and we do not recommend working more than 2 hours per weekday remotely. If you need to work more hours, you may miss some classes. You will also have weekends off, giving you the opportunity to work additional hours then.

Many of our guests are vegetarian or vegan, so all the food provided will be suitable for vegans. However, items like eggs from our chickens and cheese will also be available for vegetarians. We suggest that vegans bring additional snacks, such as nuts or other necessary items for their diet, as we primarily provide whole foods from the farm.

If there is enough demand, we offer a meat option sourced from our farm once a week.

Items often wanted that we do not provide include nuts, plant-based milk, peanut butter and honey. However they are available from our shop-

During the weekends, there are no classes in our courses. The time is yours to do as you like. However:

  • If you remain on the farm, you will cook/wash up together with other guests on a rotation basis. Dont worry if you're not confident, you can assist someone who is and learn.
  • There is often an organised (but optional) farm visit or community work day at another farm
  • The guests usually self-organise a visit to a lake, a hike or a local mountain.

Note. Sometimes the days off dont fall on a weekend. Usually, there are 5 days of course followed by 2 or 3 days off.
