Descrição
Hello travelers, and welcome to my farm. I am Anne Helene 14th generation living here. Our family goes back a long time on the farm, so I am proud to keep it for the coming generations. The family used to be bigger, but most family members have work outside the farm or studying now. I also work in a school when I don't work at home.
There is no longer a production of milk or meat on the farm, so we no longer live from the land, and the farm. Now there is a cat and a dog that needs your attention. But taking care of the property and the forest is still a lot of work. We also have a mountain farm. It is one of five mountain farms situated in the same area, within the borders of "Langsua" National park at the entrance to Jotunheimen, 970 m.a.o. Spåtind is the higest mountain in the area, 1414 m.a.o
The summertime is the busiest, and we usually have 2-3 volunteers staying in the period April-September.
We had people staying here through different exchange and volunteer programs, since 1994. We learned a lot form these experiences, and we speak English fluently. We have lots of experience in making our guests time with us as interesting and fun as possible.
So, what kind of work can you expect;
Garden work, forest work, help in the house, cooking, taking care of the dog, general maintenance and painting. Looking after the property, when the host is not at home.
-We will prefer travelers that can stay for longer periods. We will consider shorter requests ONLY IF we have shorter availability.
- We prefer travelers that are mature (in general minimum 25 years old), and is genuinely interested to learn from the host and participate in the projects that is in progress at the farm.
- We welcome travelers that is open to all kinds of food, unfortunately we can not adjust our meals to travelers with special dietary requirements.
- We will request references for social skills from a former work place. We can also set up an interview on Whats-app.
