  Descrição

  We are a family of four, Hanne Marte (39) and Kristian (33) with our daughter (7) and son (5). We are running a smal farm with sheep, goat, hens and ducks.
  
  We also have a big vegetable garden that we are expanding in a market garden design using no dig methods with seaweed, feed leftovers from the barn and compost. All done by hand. We have a big garden with berries and fruit in late summer and autumn, all for our own consumption.
  
  Hanne Marte works at home, with the children, on the farm. Kristian works full time as a traditional carpenter, sometimes away, other times at home in his workshop. He also does a lot of work at the farm and repairs everything.
  
  We use organic methods without fertilizer or pesticide. We are starting up with planned grazing with our animals to regenerate our soil.
  
  The feed for our animals we cut with tractor and harvester and preserve in a tower silo. We also use more traditional methods like drying hay on a rack and drying branches with leaves.
  
  The sheep and goats graze freely in the mountains behind our farm from late may until early october. About once a week we hike and try to locate them to make sure they are okey.
  
  
  Everything we produse is for self use, and we are almost self-sufficient with food. We try to make most of our food from scratch. We slaughter animals for our own consume on the farm, and preserve everything. We ferment vegetables. We make jams and juices from berries, plums, appels and pears.
  
  Our diet consist mostly of animal food; sheep and goat meat, fish, organ meat, eggs, broth and diary products. We buy milk from a local farm and make unpasteurised sour milk and yoghurt. For other meals than dinner, we mostly eat (homemade sourdough) bread meals. We eat vegetable according to season on our farm. We do not include a lot of vegetables in our diet and most of it is homemade fermented vegetables.

  Ajuda

  Above all we need help in the house for things like cooking, dishes, tidying, vacuuming, cleaning and sometimes help with the children.
  
  We live by the season and the help varies through the year. April to October is high season and quite busy.
  
  In april we start preparing the garden, making new beds, maintaining beds with more compost, sowing inside etc.
  
  Late April and may we have lambing. Then we need a lot of help with the children and in the house since we get quite tired from all the other work.
  If you can cook and can adapt to our diet we are very happy i you will help us with that.
  Sometimes watching the children and activate them is what we need.
  
  In august and september we need help with picking berries and fruits and preserving it.
  
  In october vi slaughter and preserve all the meet for the next year.
  We cut the wool ourselves and we need to be the two of us, so then we need help with the children.
  
  In the wintertime we need help with cutting wood, repairing and building for new projects.
  
  We always have dreams and projects that we do not have enough time for, like building å portable hen house, maintaining gears and implement, maintenance and painting buildings, building a processing room, putting up and repairing fences, making wood chips, lawn mowing and so on. So if you have some special gifts or interest we might be looking for that too. ;)
  
  We want to learn more about using our wool and skins, making decorations from nature, using our food in a new way with new tastes, and much more! :)

  Acomodação

  You will stay in your own room in our house with internett access. Normally we turn of the wifi during the night. (We can make exceptions if necessary, but let us know early)
  
  We have a simple lifestyle and try to live as sustainable as we can. We only use degradable soaps, try to limit our waste, warm our house with wood burning and limit how much we shower. We hope you will respect and adapt to this.
  
  We are almost self-sufficient in food, and do not go to the supermarket frequently. Our children do not eat sweets or other ultra-processed food, nor sprayed fruit and vegetable, so if you buy this for yourself please do not offer it to them or eat it infront of them.
  No smoking inside. We want silence after 10pm.

  Algo mais...

  From Oslo airport you can fly to either Molde or Kristiansund and then take a bus to Batnfjordsøra, or you can take the train to Åndalsnes and then travel with bus to Molde and eventually Batnfjordsøra.
  
  We live in a quiet rural place. The forest and mountain behind, the smal river in front, with other farms on the other side.
  
  Our farm is 2km away from the fjord, with a tiny cosy beach, a marina and a dock where you can catch fish. There is also the church. The smal town center i 7km away, and has two supermarkets, a library, tank station and bus station. We live 40 min from Kristiansund and 40 min from Molde in the other direction.
  Nice places to visit by car is the Atlatic ocean road, Trollstigen / The Troll path / ladder / road, the Troll church, the Troll wall, Romsdalen, Åndalsnes, Mardalsfossen, Innerdalen etc.
  
  A lot of our work tasks are outside and the weather here can be quite wet. It can also be cold during summer. So bring good waterproof and warm clothes and shoes for every season.
  
  Feel free to ask, we are looking forward to meet new inspiring people!
