Welcome to Fiddlersfarm

About the farm
The farm consist 9 ha land, of which we use about 4 ha for our 18 islandic horses, 3 ha is leased out with payment like food to the horses. Some trees, fruittrees, pinetrees and herbal-, flower-garden and a ecological garden for householdvegetables. We have also dug out a little pond with some wild ducks in it. The farm is located beautiful on the top of Hallandsåsen in a very small village with beautiful surroundings for walking, running, cycling, skiing (in winter) and riding. The animals consists of 19 adult islandic horses and one 5 years old mare and finally 6 foals born 2007. We have 2 Norweigan cats and 8 hens and one islandicrooster and 16 chickens. 2 rabbits. It was rather rundown when we bought it 1996. We have been changing a lot on the house, but we are still not completely ready. We have a sauna and a SPA... We have bikes that can be used to see the local sights and the sea (in Båstad) is just 8 kilometers from the farm. We also have a trampolin. Our closest biggest train station is Ängelholm. From there you can take the bus towards Svenstorp (number 507) and stop at Stendalsmölla. Then we pick you up - if you don´t want to walk a few kilometersl If you want to walk...Cross the road and then walk up towards Liagärde on Postridarensväg. Stop at Simontorpsvägen. You will see the horses....

You will stay in a special big beatiful "wwoofroom" in the barn.

Work to do
We would like to have help this spring and summer with the ceiling in the stable as it is broken, so carpenter skilled strong wwoofers are needed. Else it is Fence, painting like:-walls-instruments-horsetruck, garden work, weeding, forestry, building, mending broken things, bring away things to the recycling station, cooking, cleaning, washing and sorting clothes, training horses, childcare, You name it! There is always lots of work to be done here.
We sometimes work together with wwoofers but wwoofers can do their work when it suits them. We would like to have woofers who can follow their own scedule and that sees what needs to be done...

About us
We are two adults (Laif, from Denmark , plays two row accordian and violin) & Ninni (swedish, plays violin) both born 1962 and three children but 2 has flown out Elna (plays also classical violin) born 1988 and Ale (plays, cittern, guitar, violin, mandolin, drums) born 1989 but Alma born 2001 will be in the house for
several years. The great news is that we have recently become grandmother and father to a lovely granddaughter Tuvalie (Ales)!! The only problem is that she is in Stockholm...so we can not take wwoofers for long period as they want us to visit her now and then. We love children! We are professional musicians of Scanian folkmusic. We are 4 master fiddler in the family and perform about 250 school consert each year from Monday - Wednesday between 8.00 in the morning to - 12.00 o´clock. Rest of the week we work on the farm with the garden and the horses and reparing string instruments, or giving lessons to children in violinplaying. We have a little school for those who want to learn more about riding or just go for a tour in the forest. We also have 3 riding camps during summer with children, youth and adults with both playing and riding. Ninni are educated in Royal Academy of Music in Stockholm as a music therapist and in the Jaques Dalcroze method, Laif is educated as an Instrumentmaker in Carl Malmstens school for Georg Bohlin and Ninnis has studied in Sörängens school for art and weaving and Islandic horses in Strömsholm. We both work for Musik i syd. Ninni work some
hours in Malmö Academy of music as a pedagogical professor. We are members of Fobo - an organic biological organisation and JAK, a bank which has no interestcharges.

We are interested in languages and speak fluently Swedish, Danish, pretty good English, Ok French, and a little Spanish. We eat a lot of fish, egg, chicken and vegetables and also meat. We have a fully equiped kitchen. We work voluntarily for different organisations for example scanian fiddle organisation and folkmusician amateurgroups and we arrange many folkmusic workshops, concerts in singing games, music and dancing for children, youths and adults so our farm is not in the best condition as we like to do a lot for other peoples happiness...but it is getting better and better thanks to you guys!

We want Wwoofers who are non smokers, music and horse lovers and very fond of beautiful nature.

Ninni abstains from alcohol, but you can consume small quantities of alcohol from time to time.
