Description
Hi! I am Stian! I live in the Norwegian woods. My son age 16 comes home sometimes in the weekends. The small farm is located next to a lake called Vermundsjøen. We are trying to live as much as we can directly from mother nature. We run a rental hut and boathouse. 6 goats. 1 cat.

Help
We run a small organic farm with a tiny campsite. It has two cabins. Quiet living. We have 6 goats here at the moment, and a cat.
We need help in the garden for summer. Help is needed to restore a cabin. We also need help in the forest to collect fire wood for next winter. -
