Description
We are a family of 5 (Kjetil 39, Caroline 35, Jonathan 11, Ellie 8, and Veslemøy 3).. 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 some vegetables for our use 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 fall we need help with harvesting our fruit and make our juice in our own small juicery on the farm. Preparing the garden for fall/winter and helping in the daily life
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.

Help
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 fall coming we need help in the garden
- preserving food
- harvesting apples and juicing
- help with cooking
- weeding and cutting grass
- painting
As we have three small kids and we both work a lot its a must that you feel comfortable helping on your own or with your partner. But both Caroline and Kjetil are present on the property all week normally. 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
