Descrição
The small old farm is sited along Atna river in beautiful Sollia close to Rondane mountains (you can actually see part of Rondane from the farm). John Furuseth has long term experience with sheeps and border collies. You will live in your own circus wagon and help out with feeding and caring for the sheep and the two dogs. Your help will be needed for 2 - 3 hours daily. The life style is basic. The tasks require straight forward practical thinking and some physical strength. If you like silence, being much on your own surrounded by beautiful norwegian nature this is a great place for you. The sheep are living outdoors the whole winter. Your work will mostly be outside. Experience a true norwegian winter with dry snow, northern lights, cross country skiiing and hiking options on this authentic old farm!
