Description
Hey 😀
I have just moved to a smal historical offgrid farm. We only have solar electricity to charge the pone, and mobile internett. I get water from a smal river, and i cook all the food on fire. Its abound 1 km to walk from the road and closest nighbours. The house has not been living in since 1950, and the garden is compleatly overgrown and need to be started all over. Here i have 2 dogs (including a new puppy) a cat and 3 cows.
I would love some help both with the garden, the puppy and some small renovating in the house. I'm aiming for a lifstyle were I can grow and harvest moste of my food. I'm passionate about the way I farm, I call it naturetype farming. Its a combination of historical, cultural and biodiversity optimalization farming, how to produce food with the natureresocorse we have available, and how nature management with grazing animals benifit biodiversity and climate impact.
So if there is some workawayers who could se them selfs spending some time out in my nature household and help with my prodjects - I promise a good nature time and good food!
The coast of Helgeland is really beautifull and now we are starting up the midnightsun season. I live on the island Nesøya, it's around a 100 people living here and there is a small shop. Its easiest to travel here from Bodø when you come from the north, the boat leaves at 16.00 almost every day.From south there is a boat from Sandnessjøen - but i'm not quitw sure when it leaves. If you want to come, i think its best you contact me and we try to find out how to best travel here!
I'll take short and long stays - just passing by is great too 👍

This is a slow life with very litle noice (other than what we make and birdsong) and i love to talk about naturefarming. So its realxed and hard at the same time maybe. But it's a stay that will be what you make it, if it makes any sence.

Accommodation
There are rooms available so you can have som privacy - but we would live together, eat together and share everyrhing. My good nighbours just built me a brand new out door toilet, and we need to warm water for washing on the stove.
What else ...
This communication out here can be confusing at best. You can serch for "Nordnesøy" or " Sørnesøy" they both end up here in Nesøya and i'll pick you up with my car.

I spent one month last July in Kari-Anne and Steinar farm and this is an unforgettable experience.
From day 1 I felt included and responsible of what I was doing at the farm. We worked as a team and I felt both supported and managed and also free to take initiatives on my own. I would say this is the perfect mix to learn and enjoy… read more
