    Descripción

    I am a single woman, 61, running a small organic farm in Ulefoss, Telemark. I have 50 sheep and some chicken, two cats and a dog. I moved to this farm seven years ago, and I still have a lot of projects going on.

    I want someone to come here in November , for two weeks or so.
    It's a lot that has to be done before winter...
    I need more help in my vegetable garden and around the house, making things ready for winter. You never know when the snow is coming to cover everything.

    If you like to cook that would be great.
    We have lots of eggs, so please find recepies with many eggs. :-) The chicken have free range, and they lay their eggs wherever they feel like. Not always easy to find, haha.

    The work with finding the sheep in the mountains or in the woods will hopefully be done by then, and they will most likely be at the farm. Then they have to be fed twice a day, but can also maybe still find some gras in the pasture.
    I have about twenty lambs this autumn, and they need to be more used to be cuddled and handled. My adult sheep are very used to that, and it makes things so much easier. The lambs have been more or less out of sight since they were born this spring. That means some of them are way too skittish and jumpy.

    Then there is making firewood for the winter. That could be anything from pulling the logs down the hill to where the tractor is, - to bagging the ready chopped and split wood.

    When you come here you will see how Norwegians live on a typical small farm. I try to make as much as possible from our vegetable-garden, and I conserve wild berrys and vegetables during summer for the next year.
    You will learn a lot about sheep and how to take care of them if you are interested.

    I have an Englishman, Andy, living here in a kind of flat downstairs. He came four years ago as a workawayer. 60 years old, no Norwegian, nice man, but with certain disabilities. He is not able to feed my sheep or do much other work, but he is capable of answering questions and sometimes drive the tractor. He had a brain surgery one year ago, and has just sort of stranded here, with no other place to go.

    I used to travel a lot before, but now with the farm that is more difficult. Now I have to invite the world to come to me instead. :-) Workaway is such a great thing!


    Skien and Porsgrunn is half an hour away with bus, they have everything you need. Ulefoss is four kilometres away, or half an hours walk if you take the shortcuts. Ulefoss has everything you need from day to day, three grocerystores, a gym and a sport shop. :-)

    Ten minutes walk up the hill behind the farm is a small three- wall- shed/ shelter, biuvak. It's on my property, and it's possible to sleep there for the night. Millions of stars when it's clear. And only ten minutes back to the farm if you get too cold. :-)

    20 min walk down the road is Norsjø, a big lake and a part of Telemarkskanalen. Several other smaller lakes to cool down in too.

    I have two spare bedrooms in the house, and soon one extra bathroom. Kitchen will be shared.
    Meals are not so regular, but we want to have at least dinner together. :-) It would be very nice if you could cook something from your country once or twice, but no stress.
    When it comes to other meals you are free to make and eat whatever you find in the house. Of course you clean what you have been using in the kitchen when you are finished.
    I don't smoke, and will appreciate if you don't either. I don't drink much, but I enjoy a glass or two of wine or beer when we play cards on the veranda. In winter we move inside and sit in front of the fireplace. I use almost only the woodburners in the house for heating, I really love the heat they give.

    Ulefoss is a small place along the very famous canal of Telemark, Telemarkskanalen. It is said to be one of the most beautiful waterways in the world. When the canal was completed in 1892 it was called the eitght wonder by the British travellers that were here at that time. It connects the coast of Telemark with the inland through a number of locks. One can go there by one of the old passenger boats or rent a canoe and padle.
    The nearest bigger places are Skien and Porsgrunn, with all facilities, about 30 min by car. Buses every hour. There are numerous hiking options in the aerea, everything from 5 minutes to as long as you could possibly want. Lots of fantastic views. ☀️
