  Description

  We live in a beautiful area surrounded by mountains, white beaches, birds, hiking, waves, climbing and peaceful nature. We are a family of four: Ingrid, 37 from Norway, Rod, 37 from Wales and two boys aged 3 and 1. We bought an old mini farm 30 min away from Svolvær in a little village called Laukvika.
  
  Our village has a small shop, coffee roastary and a popular cafe (+incredible nature). We are slowly renovating the house and slowly making a garden where we grow vegetables and berries for ourselves. We both work parttime positions and stay home every other day whith our youngest son. We both work with NGOs focused on sustainability and outdoor activities.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  We would like to share with you a nice simple way of living. Join our family in the nature and growing some of our own food. Join to hang out on the beach, we both like surfing. We are planning to grow a lot of our food and it would be interesting to learn about agriculture, permaculture food production from different places. Also sharing recipies from different countries. And how people live in different parts of the world.
  
  We want to share our simple lifestyle with more time for family, friends, nature and activities.
  
  We go can go together to pick mushroom in the forest and pick berries when its season for it. You can learn about how to forage and preserve food. You can get know our beautiful surroundings on our bicycles. We know the nice hikes and good places to go in Lofoten.

  Aide

  We have many possible projects but try to not start them all at one time:) We would like to have two-three friends or a couple but also an independent solo is nice. We are early off to bed and some days in work. But we work alongside during daytime it makes the days more fun, social and we can learn from eachother. Rod has got green hands and is very willing to share with you. We will if possible try to adapt the work to your interests, skills and of course the season.
  
  On good days we are working in the garden:
  Weeding
  Making compost systems
  Cutting trees and make firewood
  
  Painting
  Helping out with diy projects
  
  In the house
  Sparkelling
  Sanding
  Painting
  Cooking
  Cleaning
  Preserving food.

  Hébergement

  You will sleep in a charming camper placed facing the field where its possible to see moose. You wil sleep alone or with your friend/partner travelling together. You are quite likely to meet our many good neighbours, the moose.
  
  We are flexible when it comes to food, but dont cook a lot of meat for our selves. We get whats seasonal, homegrown and try not to throw much food. We will eat some dinners together and we can share cooking duty depending on your interests and skills. The camper has a kitchen and a fridge. Most Norwegians (shockingly enough for many) only eat one warm meal during the day. The rest of the meals are bread with different spreads, porridge, cereals. These meals are on the go because of us going to work og nursery. We bake all our bread. If you are a good baker we would love to learn some new skills:)
