Description
We are a family of 5, Kim (33) Marit (30) Marcus (11) Kine (10) Kristian (4). We live on a farm on Innset in the countryside among mountains, rivers and lakes. An hour and a half south of the city of Trondheim.
We are a private homestead and producing for own consumption. On the farm we have sheeps, cows, dogs, chickens, cats and rabbits.
We have five border collies and train Them for sheepdog work and two bird dogs we are training for hunting. so if your interested in sheeps and dogs that would be fine.
There is always something to do on the farm, so you get varied work assignments. you will not be bored on the farm.
Work tasks Can be everything from feeding sheep to cooking.
You must have a driving license for car.
From April 2 to April 9. And from April 16 to April 23. Is Kim away at work and Marit needs help looking after the cows that are left to calve. So if you are not afraid of large animals and want to help with the calving, send a message. :)
