Program
Morning and Evening Activities
At 7am and 6pm the farmer will be milking the cows. You are very welcome to join him to help or just watch. We will ask you to subscribe if you want to take part in the milking in the morning or evening. Only three people can be present at the same time, more people attending would be too stressful for the cows and their farmer.
The morning and evening activities are open and free. So please feel free to take the time to do something you feel like doing.
Gathering
Every morning there will be a gathering after breakfast and before we start working on the farm. The gathering is meant for sharing the latest news, announce the program of the day and instructions and sing together. It's a moment to start the day cheerfully and together.
Working
In the morning we will mostly be working on the farm. During the morning gathering we will take the time to discuss what the different kinds of tasks which can be done during the day. You might want to do the same thing during the whole week, or you might want to change from area every day. This is really up to you. Examples of tasks which can be done during the week: working in the vegetable garden (planting, weeding, watering, harvest...), in the flower gardens (watering, weeding..), in the orchard (harvest fruit), mowing the lawn, repairing stuff, cleaning, mucking out,... You can choose to work alone or in a group. The work will be flexible regarding weather and other circumstances.
Projects
During the afternoons the group will be divided into small groups according to the art projects you have chosen. There will be music, dance, photography, theatre, land-art and a story-telling group. Each group will be working on a project where its art is central. At the end of the week the group is able to organize a workshop, a show or exhibition for the people who will come to the final day. People from the local area will be invited.
Festival Day
Saturday 25th of July will be the "last" day of the forum. In the morning we will organize workshops and in the afternoon a show and an exhibition of what we have achieved during our week on the farm. We are very curious about what will happen that day. People from the area are welcome to take part and join for a workshop. In the evening there will be a nice meal around the fire with all the people who took part of this adventure. We prepare our own food, and people from outside can also bring food so we can share and eat together.
