Description
Handy volunteers needed:
We are welcoming volunteers who would like to get involved in daily farm life, such as feeding animals, small DIY projects, wood cutting, painting, and general maintenance. We provide food and accommodation and prefer people who are handy and who can stay for a longer period (several months) to truly become part of our farm community.
If you're a student looking for an internship and are handy, feel free to apply as well.
Start date is flexible, but we’re looking for help around the end of May.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our farm is conveniently located just 45 minutes from Oslo and 20 minutes from Gardermoen. We welcome both individuals and pairs who can help us transform our farm into an attractive destination. In return, we offer free accommodation, meals, and bikes for getting around.
Nestled in beautiful surroundings by the river Vorma, our farm practices traditional farming, forestry, and green tourism. Our cultural house—a lovingly restored barn—hosts various events such as Christmas markets, weddings, yoga retreats, and more. In addition, we have a few friendly animals that need care, including a cat, alpacas, Shetland ponies, mini-pigs, and hens.
We also offer a selection of unique tourist accommodations, including three mirrored glass cabins, two domes, and a shepherd's hut. You’ll have the opportunity to work both on the farm and with Erle and Jeremy, should you choose. Most tasks take place outdoors—whether in winter or summer. We have paid employees handling cleaning and guest services. Workawayers will receive a compensation to cover food expenses and, when applicable, additional payment for extra work or projects related to the business. We also offer accommodation at the farm, with a private room available in the main house upstairs.
Since we have many projects beyond the farm, we won’t always be present. Therefore, we’re looking for resourceful, proactive and handy individuals (or couples, ideally a guy and a girl) who can commit to longer stays - several months, if it works out. You should be comfortable spending time independently and exploring the local area. If you wish to experience more than rural life, Oslo is only an hour away by bus or train, or you might consider renting a car for your stay. And for fishing enthusiasts, Huser is truly an Eldorado.Types of help and learning opportunities

What a wonderful task was waiting for us!
