I have a fruit and berries farm near Odda in Norway. The farm lays close to the fjord Sørfjorden,100 m away. Nice fore swimming and fishing. It is also possible to do tracking in the mountains around.
We are a family at 4. My wife and I are just above 54 years. I am working fulltime at the farm and she is working as nurse in Odda. Have two children a boy and a girl. They are 26 and 28 years. They are living away from home ..
I have had help from students from many different countries during 30 years, but through another organisation. But would like to try out something new!
I have to say that I have not been to clever answering ,most because I find it difficult to put it together with guests how just can stay some weeks,so I have been waiting fore someone that can stay longer (more than one month) and then filling in if needed with somewone that can stay shorter..so if you just can stay some weeks you must email me before you want to come , and then we will se..

Its a nice area fore tracking , not far from Trolltunga (The path is a 45 min driv away) You will yse your boddy fore work ,test your practical skills. Gething som Norwegian food .

If you have backproblems or others, they dont goes away if you starts working at a farm, you need to be fit.!l!! So be realistic and honest abouth abouth yourself and to me...and if we agree abouth a staying stick to it and not say you can stay 4 weeks and some weeks later 2 weeks and then 1..you make problems for me but also they a am hosting..if I have to do the work you should do, and have not time to take care of my workawayers..because this is how it work ..
