    Description

    2025:
    Fencing.
    Firewood.
    Painting, both inside and outside.


    Since 2015, we have had 44 workawayers from 22 different countries. And we have made some amazing friends and had a lot of fun over the years.


    So if you would like to help out with this in exchange for beautiful scenery, good company, strong coffee, borrowing a pair of skis, board game nights, and trying your hand at archery, shooting, knifemaking, hunting and fishing, send us a message.

    We have a baby in the house, so the socialising will be on her schedule. ;)

    We will not ask you to help with any of the business related to the farm.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Our farm has been in the family since before 1850, and is now owned and run by the 7th generation. We also have cabins and rooms for rent to tourists. The family consists of Ola (father), Einy (mother), Irja (2012), Håkon (2014) and Frøya (2023). Situated in the Rondane Mountains, at the border of the national park, we have some of the worlds finest nature and wildlife literally just outside the door.

    The diet is heavily meat-based.
