Descrição
We are a couple in our seventies and are retired.
We live on a small farm, in the middle of Norway, not fare away from the town Steinkjer. We have no animals. (or, we have wild animals around)
Most of the property is a forest area, but we have an area of about 3 acres where we have a garden / park.
The house on the farm is used for the accommodation.
We live in our own private house nearby.
Here are also other small houses, and we have a boathouse at the waterfront. We also have a boat with motor that we can use for trips at the fjord.
We place great emphasis on colors. We believe that colors and their impact on us humans are important, which is why we have established our place, Fargetuva = Colorhill.
There is a lot of chores to do during the summer, and our summer is short ...
We are most in need of help with gardening, so we prefer people with gardening experience.
We also make a lot of firewood for upcoming winters.
The houses need maintenance, so there is always paint projects to do.
We want our workawayers to stay with us for 2 to 3 weeks.

You get work experience in inspiring and colourful surroundings, see parts of our district and learn something about our culture. We live in a beautiful landscape with excellent opportunities for recreational activities in nature.
Ajuda
As a workawayer by us we like you to be openminded, honest, have a good health, be practical and patient.
Most of the tasks is outdoor in all types of weather.
Helping us can sometimes be physically demanding, while other times we need to be patient.
And every summer we make firewood for coming winters.
Painting houses, and other stuff, is something that belongs to the summer activities.
Planting trees and bushes, and weeding, is always relevant. So it is a plus if you are are a practical person.
We want you to be with us for at least a couple of weeks, so we can get to know each other.

You get your own room in the farmhouse. The house has a kitchen, living room and bathroom on the first floor.
At second floor there are guest rooms. (Your room too)
You can use the whashing machine in the basement.
You have food for breakfast where you are staying, and you get lunch and dinner everyday together with us in our private house. We prefer that those who come to us eat ordinary traditional Norwegian food. All food is free.

Det var tydelig at hun hadde god erfaring med gårds- og hagearbeid.

Thank you so much for choosing to come to us! You were just the one we needed to help us. You had great work capacity and strong physique, so clearing scrub and gathering branches and twigs was a breeze. You kept your good mood, even when you had to do some boring things such as stacking firewood.
You also helped us with lawn mowing and… read more
You performed all the tasks in a very good way. You were gentle and nice to be with, and even spoke fluent Norwegian.
Welcome back to us whenever you want.
It was a great time here. I am glad to have met you, Marit og Torgeir.
The first week they helped us paint 3 walls on our house. The second week they helped us with the cleaning of trees and shrubs along our road, and clearing of branches after we traped some big trees. They also tried to cut and split firewood.
They also had… read more

You were always positive and helpful. Completed the work you were asked to do, in a good way.
We think it's fun to follow some of our workawayers forward in life, which we now have the possibility to do, because of Facebook.
You are one of those ....
Thank you again
