Descrição
We are 4 friends setting up a food forest/permaculture garden together. Our farm is located within 30 minutes of Norway's most visited scenic hike, "The Pulpit Rock". We are also 10 minutes away from Norway's oldest known Bronze age settlement, the area is full of Norse history. With spectacular views overlooking the Lysefjord and the Høgsfjord, we are very proud to welcome just you, to our wonderful farm.
We hope to next year have the permaculture garden ready by next year, and that it will attract members enough to open a Community Supported Agriculture project. We need to provide several structures for this, among them a sitting area and an outdoor kitchen on the farm. This will also be a place to sit and enjoy our splendid views for our local community as there is a very popular public footpath through the farm. We want to create additional footpaths and resting areas for the local community to stop and rest at the farm. We are also inviting in challenged youth to rest here and recover.
We feel safe to say we think our farm will provide a unique and extraordinary workaway experience. The farm is 3 minutes walk from the fjord with swimming possibility, and boating. Forsand is located 50 minutes from Stavanger, and 1 hour from the airport (we would be happy to pick you up).

Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
here you will learn Norse history, you will get to hike some of Norway's most spectacular trails, and you will have the opportunity to learn at the farm about permaculture, food forests, and regenerative farming. John is a qigong master, Hilde is a wild edibles and plant based course facilitator, Mette is a forest gardener, and Paul Morten loves to fix things around the farm. We are very ECO savvy and we love trees.
