Welcome to Intakan

An english street entertainer, a norwegian actress, a swedish farm near Vastra Silen in Dalsland.

We grow most of our own organic vegetables and fruit, and hope to become self sufficient (not including bananas). Also make our own compost, collect many of our own seeds, and have an ever expanding fruit and vegetable garden. Occassionally we turn the edge of the forest into flower beds.
We make a selection of jams, chutneys, pickles, oils and vinegars and sell some of them.

The farmhouse and the barn are being restored, and always need help with building work. We are also building greenhouses and fencing, with possibilities of learning swordfightimg.

Over the year jobs might include:

March-May: chopping wood, seeding, digging, planting fruit trees, building work

June-August: fence building, making compost, garden maintenance, picking berries, jam making, more digging, more building

September-November: harvesting, collecting seeds, mushrooming, making pickles and chutneys, more digging, more building

Guests can stay in tents, in the barn, and we sometimes have a spare room in the house. Most food will be communaly prepared, byt there is always access to kitchen. Also acccess to shower and toilet, washing machine, wireless internet. No television, but wide music selection.

The local area is good for walking, swimming, canoeing, and relaxing. Easy to get to Oslo (2.5 hours) and Gothenburg (3 hours).
