Details
Description
We are a family of 3-6 members,depending on how many of our children are home from studying, living in the Norwegian woods, 30 min outside of Oslo. We have different projects that we are working on and could need help with: an organic garden and some building projects, like greenhouse, a chicken-house, storage house, and the restoring of an old barn. Experience with building is essential and a creative mind since we mostly use recycled materials for our buildings and garden projects.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Help with Eco Projects
Gardening
DIY and building projects
Creating/ Cooking family meals
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Since we are very close to both nature and the capital, free-times can be spent in nature, hiking, and visiting cultural arenas in and around Oslo. We are ecological living oriented, and know much about living of the land and foraging for herbs and foods.Physical and psychological health is of great concern, as we run a school teaching these topics.
We are well travelled, and speak several languages.
