  • Description

    Description

    Our farm is located around 45 minutes from Oslo and 20 minutes from Oslo Airport Gardermoen, in peaceful surroundings by the River Vorma.

    We live on a traditional Norwegian farm with a private home, garden, forest, fields, rental cabins and glamping accommodation, a wedding venue, and several animals. The property is surrounded by nature, and there is always something practical to help with around the farm.

    We have several friendly animals, including alpacas, Shetland ponies, mini pigs, hens, and a dog. Daily tasks can include helping with the animals, keeping outdoor areas tidy, gardening, weeding, watering plants, painting, carrying out small repairs, organizing tools and storage areas, chopping or stacking firewood, and helping with general maintenance around the house, cabins, garden, and farm.

    The help is mostly practical and hands-on. We are especially interested in people who are handy, proactive, independent, and comfortable taking initiative. Since we are often busy with different projects, this opportunity is best suited to people who can work independently and do not need constant instructions.

    We offer accommodation on the farm, including a cozy private room upstairs in the main house, as well as payment of NOK 170 per hour.

    Please note that we can only host EU/EEA citizens, or non-EU citizens who already live in Norway and have a valid residence permit that allows them to work or complete an internship here.

    If you are practical, positive, and enjoy spending time in nature, being around animals, and helping with a variety of outdoor and DIY projects, we would be happy to hear from you.
