  Description

  We are a family of 5 (Kjetil 36, Caroline 32, Jonathan 9, Ellie 6 and Veslemøy 2). We live on a small farm just outside of Oslo. We are outgoing and fun to be with, and we love to get to know new people and cultures! we grow vegetables and we have a big fruit garden. Caroline is a ceramic artist so there is also a ceramic studio on the farm - she have classes and her own art production there.
  
  There are always some guests, neighboors, kids, family around - it can be a real chaos. Having just moved in to our farm there is a lot to attend to, and with three small children we dont have time to do everything - so it would be Lovely to get some help- especially now going in to spring we need help with gardening - build more vegetable beds and planting. We also plan to build new outdoor areas in the garden.
  
  We have good experience with workawayers coming as a couple or a pair of friends. As you will be working mostly on your own, its good for you with company! Our workaway room is big so its more then enough space.

  Aide

  We always have small projects going on the farm that we need help with , this will of course be different during the four seasons we have here in Norway. For the spring coming we need help with specific projects outside and we are looking for helpers with some kind of experience in these things- Some projects we are planning for the spring:
  
  - finishing a natural fence around the vegetable garden, with wood from our forest
  - digging and building vegetable garden
  - planting seeds and plants outside
  - making a new dining/hang out area in the garden, with natural elements
  - building a pizza oven outside
  
  As we have three small kids and we both work a lot its a must that you feel comfortable working on your own or with your partner. Sometimes we have other workers on the farm that you need to cooporate with also.
  
  you will mostly make your own meals in your simple workaway kitchen, i provide food in your Fridge. Some days we all eat together for dinner also, but Mainly you will cook what you want.
  
  Weekends you are free
