FARM WORKER WANTED.
OPERATION:
We strive to be a beautiful and representative farm in a village with two UNESCO World Heritage farms and a substantial number of visitors.
The farm also has a simple summer café and a small heritage building shop.
The farm has approximately 10 mountain-type cows, 15 Hälsinge sheep, Gotland rabbits, and landrace chickens in a living gene bank. We cultivate approximately 15 hectares of land + some forest and produce our own hay. Currently we do not milk, but we would very much like you to have good experience with cows and calves.
WHOM ARE WE LOOKING FOR:
We are looking for a driven, meticulous, and thoughtful person who wants to be part of a living small farm and homestead with the preservation of our Nordic landrace animals.
We are looking for a strong, intelligent, and preferably initiative-taking person who enjoys physical work and ideally is not afraid of hard labor. You should be able to work independently and take responsibility for what needs to be done on a farm. You need to be in good health. You should be stress-resilient and able to handle many different tasks in a day at a fast pace. When working with animals, anything can happen. Births, escapes, supervision of lambs and calves, etc., so you should also be flexible in your working hours and ready to step in when needed.
You should be able to communicate and be honest, and feel responsible for our beautiful and unique buildings.
It is required that you perform all work tasks with a positive attitude, carefully but still quickly and efficiently. This creates a more enjoyable work environment where everything is in its place and improves efficiency. Our guiding principles are passion, respect, honesty, and joy. We want to be a model for other similar farms.
