    Description

    We are an little family consisting of Per (70), Inger (50) and Vinjar (12). We have a beautiful small farm on the west coat of Norway. Apart from the humans we live with our 1 alaskan husky, 5 hens, 4 goats, 2 sheep and 6000 m2 of land. We are dedicated in our work with culture and nature. Restoring old houses, gardening, arranging camps for youngsters, and living as close to nature as possible. Our place is rather isolated and staying with us you have to be comfortable living far from people. Inger is an actress but has for the last years been working for an outdoor organization with making kids and adults play outside. She does workshops in cooking and outdoor activities. Vinjar as a cool kid who is brought up with a campfire instead of a TV and is used to help his mum and dad both inside and outside. Per used to be a a craftsman and was working an a traditional open air museum for the last 30 year. Wintertime he trained as a sled dog musher, but now he has great health issues and can no longer be of any help at the farm, unfortunately. So we need help with taking care of the animals, carpenting, gardening, general maintenance and painting. We believe in sharing experience and knowledge and would love to accommodate you to share and to learn about you.

    Your days will consist of helping along in the garden, the animals need attention and care during the summer. We have several projects we are preparing for the creative camps we run during summertime. In all this we need an extra hand.
