Update October 11, 2020:
Due to Covid-19 situation, it's difficult to receive travellers who aren't already in Norway. If you are in Norway, please read on!
NB! We don't have any vacancies on paid jobs! We only offer paid jobs in September, during potato harvest! The rest of the season, usually May through August, we host volunteers!
This year, we will try out hosting volunteers also october and november!
We are a family of 4, Ivar and Wirat in mid 40's, Jonas 6 yo, and Aria 13 yo. Grandparents living next door. Both parents have jobs outside the farm, but the potato production is our lifestyle.
The farm is located just below the arctic circle, at the base of Saltfjellet/Svartisen National Park.
Growing potatoes on about 10 hectares.
Though it is a conventional farm, we focus on environmental sustainability, and use modern technology to minimize consumption of herbicides and fertilizers.
During harvest, usually 2nd and 3rd week of September, it can be pretty intense, as we have limited time to secure the harvest before winter and frost. During this period we offer wages for working full days as crew on the harvester, and sorting and packing potatoes in our warehouse. Anyone with tractor driving experience would also be hihgly apprecieated. During these weeks, we also need more help, so anything from 3-6 people would be possible to accomodate.
We are friendly, sociable people, and hope to make new friends, as well as getting help on the farm, through the workaway experience!
For anyone with special dietary requests, it could be important to know that we are not vegetarians. Meat is an important part of our household, and is served in at least 70% of our warm meals.
