The farm has about 10 mountain-near cows, 15 Helsinki sheep, Gotland rabbits, and land hens in a living gene bank. We farm about 15 hectares of land + some forest and make our own hay. Currently, we do not milk, but we would like you to have good experience with cows and calves.

We are looking for a driven, thorough, and considerate person who wants to be part of a living smaller farm and self-sufficiency with the preservation of our Nordic land breeds.

You should be stress-resistant and able to handle many different tasks in a day at a high pace. When working with animals, anything can happen. Births, escapes, supervision of lambs and calves, etc., so you should also be able to step in when needed and be flexible in your working hours.
You should be able to communicate and be honest and feel responsibility for our beautiful and unique buildings.
It is required that you perform all tasks with a positive attitude, thoroughly but still quickly and efficiently. This creates a more enjoyable work environment where everything is in its place and optimizes the work. Our guiding principles are passion, respect, honesty, and joy. We want to be a role model for other similar farms.
