We are a group of people from various walks of life that came together in 2011 to together begin to tend for a piece of land in southern Finland in Fagervik, Inkoo.
We do not share ideology, religion, nor even sense of aesthetics – but rest assured we have passions about these. Those passions and other, we are committed to negotiate by our mutual conflict resolving work with circle talks. We do share the idea, that we together carry our responsibility to tend to this land, Solbacka, to live and build our homes and our projects on it sustainably. We have now, in 2021, built several homes, a course center, chicken coops, a sauna, vegetable gardens, a mushroom farm, and much more. This summer, we are adopting two beehives and hope to adpot more in the future. In addition to the seven founding members, we have a growing number of kids and aspiring new members, that we hope to be able to support, in their endeavor to also continue to foster, tend, and build Solbacka.

Hello, I sent you a message on WWOOF a few days ago about a possible visit. Is there maybe another way of talking that would be better for you? The village sounds amazing and I’d really love to visit for a while. Thank you!
I am sure you will soon get a response to your WWOOF message. When do you plan to travel? Cheers, Pia
Sorry, I didn’t mean to sound impatient, it’s just my first time using the site, so I was worried I might have done something wrong.
I’m still somewhat unsure, but I was planning sometime around August or September, if possible.
Thank you, and sorry to impose
Hello, sorry for sounding insistent or impatient, but I was hoping I could get a reply so I may know what to expect. I’ll understand if I’m rejected at this time, but I’d really like to know where I’m standing so I can plan ahead.
Thank you very much!
And sorry for imposing, I’m just both anxious and excited.
PS.: it’s been about 11 days I sent my first note. If it’s usual for a reply to take longer, I’ll wait. If there’s another method I can use get in touch that might be better, please let me know.
