Description
Help needed 2024, May through August:
Firewood. Chopping, packing.
Fences. Taking down and putting up, and fixing.
Barn: Full of... stuff. 50/50 treasures and garbage.
Since 2015, we have had nearly 40 workawayers from 17 different countries from five continents. And we have made some amazing friends and had a lot of fun over the years. We no longer have sheep due to predators, and we no longer have horses due to lack of spare time.
So if you would like to help out with this in exchange for beautiful scenery, good company, strong coffee, borrowing a pair of skis, board game nights, and trying your hand at archery, shooting, knifemaking, hunting and fishing, send us a message.
We have a baby in the house, so the socialising will be on her schedule. ;)
We will not ask you to help with any of the business related to the farm.

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
Our farm has been in the family since before 1850, and is now owned and run by the 7th generation. We also have cabins and rooms for rent to tourists. The family consists of Ola (father), Einy (mother), Irja (2012) and Håkon (2014). Situated in the Rondane Mountains, at the border of the national park, we have some of the worlds finest nature and wildlife literally just outside the door.
The diet is heavily meat-based. We hunt moose, beaver, roe deer and reindeer.

It was a pleasure to help Einy and Ola during the busy lambing season. The profil mentioned: 'long hours, no sleep, lot's of coffee', and that is what it was... apart from the coffee, which was switched to tea and (lot's of) chocolate :). It was hard but great and rewarding work to see all the little lambs and their mothers jump around.

During the summer of 2016 I was fortunate enough to stay at the farm for two months. It was an amazing experience. I worked a lot and at the same time also learned a lot. That is what I came for. I built a fence for the horses, helped with fishing (150 kg), sheep herding, painting the house, and many other (household) chores.
