Description
We are looking for people to join us all year at our farm! In season we have apple trees that we make juice from, in summer we have different garden projects. Once a month we also have "farmers markets at the farm. 🌸🍕
We are a small family living on a charming farm just 20 minutes outside of Oslo, and we are looking for volunteers to join us for an exciting spring season! 🏡🌳🌸 We are a family of 5 (Kjetil 39, Caroline 35, Jonathan 11, Ellie 8, and Veslemøy 3). We also need help in the house if you enjoy to do that! We also love when people makes food for us :)
Caroline is pregnant again, and we are now also looking for a girl who could help with the kids and around the house, preferably for a longer period.
Building a Garden Dream 🏡🌳
When we aren't running the market or juicing apples we are busy with a massive garden transformation designed by a landscape architect. We are looking for people who enjoy this kind of work and like to see results.
We are also hosting our farmers market. Our last market was a huge success, and our Workawayers had a blast! We have creative workshops for kids, ponnis in the garden, a pizza shop and a cafe with homemade food!
No experience? No problem! As long as you bring a smile and a "can-do" attitude, we will teach you everything you need to know. English is perfectly fine, as almost everyone in Norway speaks it fluently.
Tasks in the garden will be:
Planting flowers, shrubs, and creating green zones.
Applejuicing and picking (from august)
Laying stone tiles and paths.
Building an outdoor kitchen (carpentry).
Life at the Farm & Community 🤝
You won't be alone! We usually have several Workawayers staying at the same time, which creates a wonderful, international environment.
Social Life: We love a good community vibe. At least once a week, we all cook and eat dinner together. If you love cooking food from your home country, we would love to taste it!
Accommodation: You’ll stay in your own apartment in the barn. It’s a simple, "rustic" standard, but it has everything you need: electricity, a kitchen, and a bathroom with a shower.
Flexibility: We want you to feel like part of the family. Since market weekends are high-energy, you’ll get extra time off during the week to explore the beautiful sights of Oslo.
Start date: As soon as possible! we need people all year, but specially from april until november. Then we usually have a little workaway community here with people working and living together.
If you are positive, proactive, handy, and ready for a memorable spring, summer, fall or winter in Norway, send us a message. We can’t wait to meet you!
Best regards,
KJ, Caroline, and the family at Bekkelund. -

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
As mentioned I have my ceramic studio on the farm, so you are welcome to explore and make some ceramics while you are here! Our area is a beautiful area by the sea - a lot of hiking trails, beaches, shops - and a direct ferry going to Oslo in 25 minutes. The perfect location if you ask us!

Aide
We always have small projects going on the farm that we need help with , this will of course be different during the four seasons we have here in Norway. For the fall coming we need help in the garden
- preserving food
- harvesting apples and juicing
- help with cooking
- weeding and cutting grass
- painting
- we allways need help with carpentry or building
As we have three small kids and we both work a lot its a must that you feel comfortable helping on your own or with your partner. But both Caroline and Kjetil are present on the property all week normally. Sometimes we have other workers on the farm that you need to cooporate with also.
you will mostly make your own meals in your simple workaway kitchen, i provide food in your Fridge. Some days we all eat together for dinner also, but Mainly you will cook what you want.
Weekends you are free -
