  Beschreibung

  Come live on our charming farm in Eastern Norway. We offer a large farmhouse with four bedrooms for the volunteers to share when you are here. We usually rent the house out for tourists but would like to invite some volunteers to live in the house from mid-April-May to help with some projects on our farms. The house is a summer paradise for many with a large sunny garden and a beautiful view of a lake, which is also perfect for swimming, fishing, and canoeing. The forest starts right behind the house and is great for hikes in nature.
  
  On the farms we grow organic vegetables for own use, have a hobby herb garden, grain fields and a large forest. The only animal on the farm is our cat.
  
  We are accepting helpers for 1-3 weeks in the period mid-April to May. We don't expect any experience, but it would be helpful if you have some experience in carpentry/building projects or painting. We will always be at home and available.
  
  We are a retired couple, Olaug and Bjørn, living on a farm in Eastern Norway 1 hour outside of Olso. The farm we live on is an 8-minute walk from the house where the volunteers will live. We are interested in culture sharing and would like to invite people to experience this beautiful part of Norway. We have in the past hosted exchange students and love sharing Norwegian culture and getting to know new people and cultures. Hosting guests from other countries feels a bit like traveling ourselves, and we look forward to welcoming our guests.

  * Painting. With many buildings on the property there is always something to paint
  * Gardening on the farms (cut hedges, weeding, etc)
  * Sanding & refinishing wooden floors in one room (only if you have experience with this)
  * Help in the organic herb garden (This is Bjørns big passion and would love to teach you about his herbs)
  * Tidying up yard
  * Forestry work (Maintainance of young forest (cut trees that grow too close to each other)
  * Cleaning and making the house ready for Summer season

  Unterkunft

  The volunteers will stay at a private large farmhouse with four bedrooms, two living rooms, a well-equipped kitchen, and one bathroom. Solo volunteers will get a private bedroom and share the house with other volunteers if there are more at the same time. We also welcome couples or groups of friends who want to have this experience together.
  
  During your stay, we will provide breakfast and lunch for you. Our idea is that you might want to make dinner yourself in the house to get what you want, but we are flexible on this. We hope to find helpers who will get along well and enjoy sharing a house together.
