Out of all my different Workaway experiences, this has to be one of my favourites. I have been fortunate enough to have been there two times, 2 months during winter and about 2 weeks in spring. Both times I have felt welcome immediately, both by Georgiana and the other volunteers.
In winter, out tasks mostly included woodwork; chopping down spruce
… read more trees to increase biodiversity and making firewood and fixing things inside the house. The cold weather was sometimes hard to deal with, but the outside work kept us warm. In our freetime we played a lot of games, did a lot of cross-country skiing and Georgiana took us to some local concerts. I also spent Christmas here and it was great to meet her lovely family, everyone made the volunteers feel very welcome.
I came back for about 2 weeks in spring, we mostly took care of the plants and we made hay for the horses in winter.
Georgiana is a very inspiring person who has a big heart for nature, I learned so much from her!Vous pouvez seulement contacter les workawayers avec une adhésion active.

I've had a lot of great volunteers and I have to say Eline was really top notch! I would thoroughly recommend her help. At first I didn't really notice but as time passed I understood more and more her fantastic qualities. For one thing its so easy to ask her to do a job, what ever it is she usually says of course. On the other hand she doesn't

She really cares about people and animals and its important to her to do the best she can. We also had a lot of fun and good experiences together. Thanks so much Eline, I really appreciated your stay at Opsal and hope to see you again here one day.

Right when I came there Georgiana was sooo welcoming. I felt at home just after one day. I met her grandchildren, family and other workawayers/wwoofers which made me feel at home right away. We had around 4,5h per day at work. which was perfect because we had lots of free time after that to cook, go for walks, take a nap. We each had our cooking

We listened to lots of stories. We talked about so many different topics, meditated together, went in to nature together. Really a place where you can feel safe and free.
With the other volunteers we went on lots of hikes. Did a hytte tur twice and swam in the lake. even though it was freezing. Experiences i’ll never forget.
Thank you Georgiana for such a great time ♡Vous pouvez seulement contacter les workawayers avec une adhésion active.

My stay at Georgianas beautiful place at Opsal was amazing. It was such a great experience, and for the month I stayed there, I made friends and memories for life.
Georgiana is a very inspiring person, she is a very kind soul and full of wisdom. I learned a lot about myself and the world around me at Opsal, and it has become a very special place

We loved our time at Obsal Gard.
Georgiana is a very kind and knowledgeable woman who can teach you lots about nature and foraging :)
It’s a perfect place to unwind and be yourself and discover all the cool nature around.
The daily schedule is well designed and we really loved tea time !
Thank you for this great time Georgiana, we would always

We so much enjoyed the time with David and Julia. I was especially grateful as I had two new horses on the farm and Julias kind patient and knowledgeable help was fantastic. David is an intelligent and good craftsman who tackled all kinds of random jobs like making a house for the pigs, putting in windows, mending fencing etc. Indeed they both

Thiago was on my farm for three months. During this time he was very supportive, kind and thoughtful to everyone living here. He was willing to undertake any task, even suggesting to empty the compost toilet himself! He was also full of great catch phrases that made us laugh and at times thoughtful. He also helped to lead the meditation sessions

Staying with Georgiana was wonderful! We had a lovely crew of workawayers from all over the place during my stay, and we all got along really well. I was lucky enough to be there for springtime planting, and I got to see the first sprouts from the seeds we planted. I helped out with the horses and pigs and some other projects too! The shared meals

Maelle came to the farm at an unusual time, for quite a while she was the only volunteer. But it was such fun to hang out with her and she worked really hard. She also made brilliant Instagram reels! We celebrated the Norwegian national day together with the locals and she was so up to try new things. Her English is very good. Thanks so much for

Wow, Sebastian was such a great guy to have around! He was very friendly, very intelligent, coming with solutions to problems and following them through, he was a great cook and made us his sour-dough bread every week. He is more mature than his age suggests and blended in well with the other volunteers. We also found him to have the strength of a

my time at opsalgard was wonderful and will always be one of the experiences I will never forget.
There is so much to learn from georgana about appreciating the simplest things, being in the moment or dealing with the cold.
Georgana puts so much trust in the volunteers taking on new tasks or projects they have set themselves, which gave me a lot

When there is no event in the Weekend there are beautiful walks you can go on, projects you can work on yourself, cross country skiing during wintertime or the chance to stay with armin in oslo which if you get the opportunity I recommend.
During the 4 Weeks I was there, there was a christmas party and a oar building course, which gave me the opportunity to get to konow a lot of interesting and fun people from the neighborhood.
In general the whole atmosphere georgana and the other volunteers and the family that was staying there created, made me feel so much at home and I will always look back at the game nights and evening we would get caught up in discussions, with a big smile :).
I hope to come back some time and see how the farm has developed and to finally see the piggies :).
all the best wishes
Sarah :D

It was my first workaway experience and it couldn't have been better! I really enjoyed staying at the farm for two weeks. I helped with scraping the paint off and we also managed to start painting the veranda. Besides, I painted the windows, organised a food delivery, drove her car to the car repair shop and took care of her grandchildren - there

The nature close by is very pretty, I recommend to hike to the lake "Mjøsa" - just follow the blue hiking trail.Vous pouvez seulement contacter les workawayers avec une adhésion active.

I had a truly wonderful time here. I stayed 4 weeks and from the very beginning of my stay, Georgiana made me feel at home. She is a tough and brave woman, yet gentle and generous. Here you will find a lot of space for individual expression of feelings and thoughts, which leads to deep conversations over various topics. The work to do varies a

The work is done in a good mood, all the volunteers working together and sharing knowledge to move the project forward. Everybody's opinion is valued and usually, we decide altogether what should be prioritized, and in which direction should the project go.
The place is also beautiful, surrounded by peaceful forests with a view over the valley. Neighbors sometimes come and say Hi, which is great if you want to meet the locals.
I would definitely recommend staying in this amazing place. I cherish the moments spent there, hoping to come back soon !Laissé par l'hôte pour le workawayer (Marine)
Marine was a truly amazing guest on the farm. She not only contributed to all the activities but she was very much alert to the needs of others. She has a creative attitude and will find solutions to many situations which came up. She is a hard worker and could be found doing jobs outside our working hours. She had a great sense of humour but also
