You will be able to spend time in the stunning surroundings, hike and climb in the mountains, swim, canoe and fish in the river and spend evenings around a campfire.
Besides it is one of the most cultural places of Norway as the region is relative recently reachable. The tradition of music and culture is therefore still very visible.
We can learn you more about the history and culture of this region. Besides we would love to talk with you and learn you everything about organic farming and agriculture, as that is our daily work and main interest :).
As we both travelled a lot, we are very open minded and love to talk with people from other countries. We like to talk about differences in tradition, live style and politics.
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.

You will stay on the farm in your own apartment, this may change to an offgrid cabin on the garden.
We would like to eat dinner together and make sure there is enough food for breakfast and lunch.
One of you will help with taking care of our almost four years old girl, Lente and our baby boy Thore. We can discuss together how you will spend your time together. You can for example walk with them to the goats or the playground on the camp site closeby. Besides we might ask you to help Caren with making cheese, prepairing food, doing dishes etc.
The other person will assist on the farm. Running the goats to the pasture, walking with our dog Micky, helping with feeding the pigs (carrying some buckets of food), cleaning the stable or helping on the land with the vegetable garden.
This year we changed to a non-pay experience whereby learning and working go hand in hand.
