Description
We are a couple in the the seventies and are retired.
We live on a small farm, in the middle of Norway, not fare away from the town Steinkjer. We have no animals. (or, we have wild animals around)
Most of the country is a wooded area, but we have an area of about 3 acres where we have a garden / park.
The house on the farm is used for the accommodation.
We live in our own private house nearby.
Here are also other small houses, and we have a boathouse at the waterfront. We also have a boat with motor that we can use for trips at the fjord.
We attach great importance to colors and their importance to us humans, which is why we have established our place (Color-pile).
There is a lot of chores to do during the summer, and our summer is short ...
Most of the help is gardening, so we prefer people with gardening experience. We also make a lot of firewood for upcoming winters. The houses need maintenance, so there is always paint projects to do.
We want our workawayers to stay with us for 2 to 3 weeks.
This year we have space available in May.Types d'aide et opportunités d'apprendre

Aide
As a workawayer by us we like you to be openminded, honest, have a good health, be practical and patient.
Most of the work is outdoor in all types of weather.
Helping us can sometimes be physically demanding, while other times we need to be patient.
And every summer we make firewood for coming winters.
Painting houses, and other stuff, is something that belongs to the summer activities.
Planting trees and bushes, and weeding, is always relevant. So it is a plus if you are are a practical person.
We want you to be with us for at least a couple of weeks, so we can get to know each other.Langues parlées
Norwegian: Courant
Anglais: IntermédiaireHébergement
You get your own room in the farmhouse. The house has a kitchen, living room and bathroom on the first floor.
At second floor there are guest rooms. (Your room too)
You can use the whashing machine in the basement.
You have food for breakfast where you are staying, and you get lunch and dinner everyday together with us in our private house. We prefer that those who come to us eat ordinary traditional Norwegian food. All food is free.Autres infos...

You performed all the tasks in a very good way. You were gentle and nice to be with, and even spoke fluent Norwegian.
Welcome back to us whenever you want.
It was a great time here. I am glad to have met you, Marit og Torgeir.
The first week they helped us paint 3 walls on our house. The second week they helped us with the cleaning of trees and shrubs along our road, and clearing of branches after we traped some big trees. They also tried to cut and split firewood.

You were always positive and helpful. Completed the work you were asked to do, in a good way.
We think it's fun to follow some of our workawayers forward in life, which we now have the possibility to do, because of Facebook.
You are one of those ....
Thank you again

This place is full of positive energy and atmosphere. Marit and Torgeir are very
friendly people and I felt there like a part of family. If somebody want to see true
Norwegian countryside and hospitality(I realy enjoyed delicious food), I really recommend visit here...
Thanks Marit and Torgeir

Wishing you all the best for your future.
