Due to Covid 19 restrictions we are only able to consider applications from Workawayers already in Norway.
We are not currently looking for help in our business but we are able to offer a traditional Workaway experience of an exchange of food and accommodation for a few hours help around the farm. These experiences are not paid work.
We live 10 km from Alta city, near the famous Alta salmon river. Our house is in the woods close to some small mountains and lakes. There is good hiking, x-country skiing and mountain biking in the area. We have a fine dining restaurant, a bakery, some Polar cabins and we help to manage a fishing lodge. Johnny is a chef, he works in the restaurant at our lodge. Trine is a dog musher and takes care of her dogdriving business at home. We have 65 dogs in total. Hanna is Trine´s eldest daughter and she is currently preparing to race in the Worlds longest sled dog race. Most of us live here at the farm where we also have many chickens a large greenhouse and a beautiful Arctic garden. You can take a look at us on Instagram or Facebook to get an idea of who we are.
In the summer we need help in the dog yard, the garden, the woodpile, berry and mushroom picking in the forest and on some of our building and repair projects (usually painting). We have puppies in the summer, that we need to take on a walk every day. The dogs need feeding, exercising and the yard needs to be clean and tidy and we also need to look after each other, we have an extended family of around 15 people. In summer we have 24 hours of day light and the temperature can be between 6 and 30 degrees.
In the winter we are totally focused on race preparation and it is tough to be here in extreme cold temperatures and with no sunlight for 3 months. If you are thinking you would like to spend time here in the winter please write to us telling us what is motivating you to do this. We prefer people to stay a minimum of 3 months in the winter.
We can loan you working clothes and cold weather/rain gear for outdoors and we will happily teach you all the skills you will need.

Its a small but exciting family business, workawayers will experience a strong work ethic, be involved with a young dynamic team, feel necessary and valued as part of a team, fall in love with at least one of our dogs!!! Have the chance to drive a sled, hike a mountain, cycle the beautiful Finnmark plateau, ski, skijor, enjoy the nature, test themselves in a harsh climate if staying in the winter. Experience a unique way of living well inside the Arctic circle where we live closer to Siberia than our capital city of Oslo!
