new farm, new luck

For two weeks now, I'm on a new wwoofing-farm. Further south of Edhe Gård in the near of Uppsala. Here the vegetable farm Ramsjö Gård is run by an elderly couple. This farm also tries to be as self-sufficient as possible!

Here we have our own vegetables, our own grain and a private water source. And yes, we all have to feed ourselves vegetarian, like the owners do. What initially fell pretty hard to me, because there was meat on the old farm at every meal. But now I am used to the food and the life here, and since the harvest season reached its peak, we have plenty of vegetables to eat.

At first we were 13 helpers, every week new ones were added and others left us again. Meanwhile, we are 'only' six.
In comparison to other farms, this one is pretty trashy! Cleaniness and hygiene emphasis isn't placed great, for the benefit of our unwelcome roommates, mice! But I quickly got used to the circumstances and I feel really comfortable now, due in large part to the other wwoofers, which are really nice people. Here are many different nationalities, so you can learn a lot about foreign culturs.
Usually the work lasts no longer than to four o'clock, so that we have a lot of freetime in the afternoon and can spend the time together doing various activities.
