Volunteer in Norway on an organic farm by the sea
Country: Norway
Description
We are a family of six living on the south west coast of Norway. We run a small organic farm on the shore of the sea. We are building up our farm and have a lot of plans and ideas of what we want to do. We are moving slowly towards a permaculture farm and find our life very exciting, challenging and meaningfull.
We have sheep and pigs and feed up some calfs from time to time. We want chickens. We also grow food for the animals and potatoes, vegetables to our self and for sale. We also have some fruits and berries. At the moment we are building a great new barn for our sheep.
The farm and small children and some extra work to get in some needing money fill most of our time. But we very much like to get out and about in the mountains, forest, sea or anywhere nice to explore around us. We also love books, games and a good conversation. We are trying to make as little mark on earth as possible without being to successful...

Work
We would love to get someone who would like to work and be part of our farm. We need help in the garden, taking care of animals and the barn, fencing and clearing fields, weedcontrol, working with vegetables, painting, woodworking and everything else happening on the farm. To help out on our buildingsite is also possible. We would also like the volunteer to take it`s part in keeping the house and kitchen as a familymember.
We would of course want to know about the interests and skills of you.

There is one room in the house and one in a seperate part of our old barn. In the busy season it the rooms might be shared by two people. Bath would be shared with other volunteers and one "family"member living with us.

We hope to give you a good experience. We are very strong comitted to the farm and our life here. We hope that staying with us gives you more than it takes, in learning a bit about norwegians, a bit more about organic farming.
We hope you bring life and laughter and we look forward to get to know a lot of interesting people.
