Hi :-)

We're a family of four. Me (Julie), my husband Jon and our two children (5 and 3 years). We live on a small farm with 3 dogs (one puppy) and six beehives. We're both full-time workers outside the farm. But my dream is to make my own job on the farm one day. We love spending time outdoor and hunting, fishing, biking and hiking are thing we do a lot.

Rokoskogen (farmname) is a small farm located in Løten, Innlandet – about 1 hours drive from Gardermoen. The history of our farm goes back to the 16th century. Here we are growing gras for sale, honey and forest production. The place is located beside Vesle Rokosjøen, a lake and a wetland reserve which has a rich number of wetlandbirds and fish. Our smallfarm is a 10 min drive away from mall, cafes and pharmacy. And 25 min from museums, cinemas and so on.

Local wildlife such as roedeer, moose, beaver and squirrels are also frequently visitors here.

We provide food, mostly homegrown/homemade. We eat meat/fish/diary everyday, so if you are a vegan this might not be the right place for you. Julie will do most of the coocking, but hopefully you will cook something from your homecountry. Easy meals such as breakfast and supper you might make on your own.

we would like to welcome two volunteers. we're looking for persons who are open minded, self going, positive, friendly with children and dogs.

Julie, Jon and their two boys are such a lovely family. I could not imagine a better place to stay for my first workaway experience.
Next to the beautiful landscape around their home you have nice hiking-tracks as well as a lake for fishing,… in front of the door.
Their 3 dogs are really nice and i really enjoined to take a walk with them.

I had a great time at Julie and Jon’s place. It was very adventurous for me – living in a cabin, heating it on my own, cabin weekends away with cross country skiing, shooting with an air gun and moose meat :)
Julie and Jon both cook really well and are super lovely people. The location of their farm is also really nice, as there is a lake (frozen… read more in winter and great to walk on) right in front of it.
Their kids Johan and Jacob are also really great and they want you to join them with playing, sledding or skiing. They are really open-minded and the lack in Norwegian and English on both side was no problem as it is easy to communicate with children by using gestures and sings. And they are learning English real quick by just listening.
Julie and Jon try to make your stay as lovely as possible, though you have to keep in mind you have to be really independent and autonomous as they might not always have time for you. You need to know how to spend time on your own and find fun things to do for yourself. Unfortunately, they were not able to show me/practice with me how to train dogs even though I was expecting/hoping for that. But I guess that is life in a busy family. However, you are always welcome to join them in their activities, such as going to the children’s practice or going to the gym.
You just have to talk and communicate with them in order clarify what is expected from each other, also what counts as work and what is free time. In my case this was not clarified enough from the beginning, e.g. I thought walking the dogs, helping preparing the food, cooking, helping in the kitchen, fetching wood from the shed etc. also counts in the 5 hours of work every day. But I bet this will be better discussed with the next workawayers :)
They make their own honey, hunt their meat, bake bread - so great and delicious.

Julie picked me up from the train station and dropped me off again at the end. They also let me use their car when needed.

Their three dogs are soooo great, very cuddly and sweet. Keep in mind that they are strong hunting dogs and not house dogs such as a golden retriever or a breed like that. It was such a great experience with them.
You need to like the ‘outdoor life’, also because you have to heat the cabin with wood (almost all day long) in order to have it nice and warm in the evening when you go to sleep. I was there in March when it was about -10 to 3+ degrees outside. I absolutely loved the experience in the cabin and it is also nice furnished.
All in all, I am very happy I did this workaway stay with Jon and Julie. They are great hosts and I hope I can come back and visit again :) TAK !
