    Description

    Hello. We have a small farm where we have different projects at any given time. The farm is located in beautiful Nordfjord in Western Norway. It is a place filled with history all the way back to the Vikings. We have mini Shetland ponies on the farm.

    We are Ole Morten (58) and Caroline (59). On the farm we currently have 23 ponies, 2 dogs and a cat. We also have a cabin in the mountains that you can use if you are interested in outdoor life and fishing for trout in the lakes.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We can offer experiences on the beautiful Norwegian west coast. There are opportunities for hiking in the mountains and fishing in the fjord. The farm is partly run in the old way. This means that one gets to learn old traditional ways of running farms. We have machines for use with the most heavy work
