    Would you enjoy experiencing a peaceful, rural area of Norway, our farm might be for you.

    We are a family living near Gjøvik in Innlandet, Norway, near Norways biggest lake Mjosa. It is a scenic area with nice forests nearby that provide plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities.

    We are transforming our farm into a productive ecosystem that meets as much of our needs for food and energy as possible, at the same time as we are building fertility and biodiversity. We are inspired by ecology and permaculture and see nature as our greatest teacher.

    Kids live on site, and we are a busy family. We will be happy to show you around, introduce you to our farm and include you in our daily work. But we will also expect you to be able to work independantly, as we will be busy taking care of kids and tasks ourselves. So please consider if you have the determination and mindset needed for independant work.

    We are mainly looking for volunteers in April, May, June and October, for 3 weeks minimum. If you can stay for a month and have experience, then July or August and September can also be possible.

    The forest, lake, river and scenic nature areas nearby. This is a popular area for Norwegians to come and spend vacation time too. We rent out our place to tourists, and have a lot of guests from Norway and also from other countires.
    There is a beautiful sandy beach at the lake one kilometre away from our farm, where it is possible to go swimming if you are into cold invigorating experiences... There is also a beautiful waterfall within walking distance from the farm. We live at the border of a huge forest, where it is possible to hike for days.

    We have a wood fired sauna on site that you will get a chance to use during your stay if you want to.

    We are two hours by train or car north of Oslo, which is a nice city to visit. We are close to 3 towns of about 20 000 inhabitants, which have lots of shops, cafes, libraries, conserts etc.

    It is easy to travel to the farm with public transportation, and we provide information about how to get here in an extensive document with practical information that is sent to you before arrival.

    Arbeit

    This year we will be tending a kitchen garden with vegetables, maintaining our food forest of perennial vegetables and herbs, looking after our chickens, making firewood and wood chips and harvesting wild food. We will also be fencing. We always need to tidy and clean up around the site, because it was left untended to for 50 years befare we came and needs our loving care.

    Unterkunft

    You will live in a small, cosy house on the farm, just a few metres away from the main house where we live. The standard in the house is cosy and basic. The house has a fully equipped kitchen and you will mostly cater for yourself with food that we provide.
    There are two bedrooms in the house, and we accept up to four at a time, so you might be sharing a room.
    The house has a bathroom with a shower and a composting toilet and a spacious living room with comfy sofas and a wood burner making it cosy in chilly evenings.

    Please do note that we do not cater for strict vegans, because we find that they often wish for foods that can not be sourced locally in a way that we find sustainable for the planet.
