  Descrição

  Our family moved to a small farm in Nesodden, a beautiful peninsula near Oslo, in June 2023. At the moment we are two ambitious adults caring for one persevering toddler, a looney dog, three pretty-much-self-sufficient goats, 9 egg-laying hens, three skeptical peacocks, and two at-odds roosters.
  
  *For 2025, we are prioritizing Workawayers who have relevant experience, be it in gardening, permaculture, regenerative and/or biodynamic agriculture, carpentry, fencing, animal care or any skills that can help us improve the barn and henhouse, as well as prepare the land for the appropriate season. For people without relevant experience, we require stays of at least a month. Since we all share the same living space, we are prioritizing solo travelers. We might consider couples with relevant experience.
  
  Our vegetable garden and greenhouse produce a variety of delicious fruits and veggies, and the surrounding oak tree forest provide for a truly unique and unforgettable experience. We are looking for help from people with previous experience in all aspects of our daily chores. In exchange, we offer a comfortable stay in the main house, three meals a day, and access to all the lush nature around it.

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  While we are learning as we go, and we'd rather host people who have previous experience running a farm/gardening/growing their own produce, we can offer travelers a glimpse into the ins and outs of life on a farm, from taking care of the chickens, peacocks, goats and dog, to planting or harvesting herbs, vegetables and fruits from the garden, to cooking and composting.

  Ajuda

  We would like you to partake in the daily tasks involved in running our very first farm (the vegetable garden, the goats, the chickens, the rooster and the peacocks, and the land and house in general). This place has been run as a permaculture farm and we'd like to continue that mission. Whatever the land gives us will be consumed by us (we offer accommodation and three meals daily. Breakfast and lunch are usually self-serve). Neither our produce nor the animals are for profit. We are mainly looking for people who are interested in permaculture, sustainability, animal welfare and collaboration so that we can work and learn together on this journey of running our first farm. We will sometimes work together, but ideally you’ll be happy working on your own. Most of our social windows are limited to meal times (especially dinner), which we truly enjoy.
  
  We will give preference to individuals with relevant experience because in some cases, we don't know what we're doing :-o Please state your skillset in your intro message :)
  
  Our most immediate needs in spring/summer:
  
  - Weeding
  - Raking
  - Planting
  - Helping us develop a more efficient compost system
  - Cleaning the hen houses and the barn
  
  Regular tasks:
  
  In the garden
  Spring: Planting seeds and plants, weeding
  Summer: Weeding, watering and harvesting
  Autumn: Weeding and preparing hügel beds for next season. Harvesting, raking leaf and collecting materials for mulch, compost and lasagna beds, making new raised beds. Collecting animal manure and placing it in the veggie garden.
  All seasons: maintenance of the cultivated areas – weeding and mulching, cutting and raking grass, watering when necessary.
  
  For the animals
  Picking eggs from both hen houses daily
  Clean the hen nooks if needed
  Make sure all animals have enough to eat and fresh water
  Tucking in the winged gang every night and letting them out in the morning
  
  For all stays, we would like to have a 1 week trial, then extend if both parts are happy.
  
  It is ideal for us that you can participate in preparing meals/help cleaning the kitchen daily.
  
  What you can expect workawaying on our farm:
  
  - 5 hours of help per day, 5 days a week.
  - We start and end the day together at 8am.
  - 3 meals per day - Breakfast, lunch and dinner (if you know you need more than this you provide it yourself).
  - Everybody is helping with the daily chores (setting the table, helping with the food, cleaning of the table and making the dishes after eating, emptying the dishwasher, help keeping the place clean and tidy). This is a part of daily community life and it is not counted towards the 5 hours of help per day.
  - Cooking might be one of the tasks for the day.

  Travelers can explore the beautiful Nesodden peninsula, which has pristine beaches and endless hiking trails. We live very close to "Nesoddparken," a cultural centre with many artistic activities all round the year, including a café every Sunday. The surroundings all over Nesodden are beautiful, close to the sea with many different types of beaches. The closest bus stop is a two-minute walk from our home, which takes you straight to the ferry that goes to Oslo. It takes about 45 minutes to reach the center of Oslo, where you can immerse yourself in Norwegian culture.
