Welcome to Bjørn and Brenda Dahl

We have a mountain timber farm (260m) in the area near the Hardanger fjord, with very beautiful view and surrounding. This is a perfect place if you want to be very close to nature. We do have about 60 wild sheep and 50 hens, but most of the work is with vegetables/berries, mostly weeding and harvesting, also we do harvest hay to feed the sheep and we would be very happy for people who have some carpentry, mechanic or forest work experience. We are both musicians, we play folk music, folk rock/metal and rock n roll, we are also very much into nature spirituality (paganism).We chose this lifestyle to live in peace and harmony with nature and to bring to people great quality food.

Welcome to Lerskall Farm and StablesLerskall Farm and Stables is a registered organic farm located south east Norway about 100 km south of Oslo, 20 km west of Tønsberg. We are producing organic grass for the horses we keep. The family consists of, in addition to two adults (48 and51), two boys (20 and 23) and two girls (18 and 26). The youngest is in her last high school year and still living home. The others are university students having left the nest. We keep regulary food, but can and have accomodated vegetarians and people with other diets. Woofers are treated and accommodated as family members in our home. We don't require any housekeeping done by woofers, but we expect that all members in the house partecipate with tiding up after themselve and keeping their lodgings tidy. We have been hosting (one or two at the time) for 5 years and we have offered 4-6 hours 5 days a week participation in running of the farm, stables and forest, to some extend limited by seasonal variation. Without asking for any previous training or skills, the activities will typically include maintenance and construction work, stable work, operation of machinery, forest work and horse training (riding and driving).We would like wwoofers to be over 21 years old and stay for at least 2 weeks. We all speak fluent English and some of us also fluent German. Best regards, Antje & Jørn ErikBack

Welcome to Råen

We are a small 2 acre two person homestead. We are of North American origin and speak English,but have lived in Norway for many years. We grow our garden from organic non hybrid seed and our own saved seed. We have chickens, goats, and ducks. We want volunteers who will be a part of all that we do, want to learn to cook healthily from scratch , dig gardens, keep animals, be a part of a small start up farm, work hard, but also explore this beautiful part of the world. Comfortable room in cozy farm house- share bathroom.

Welcome to Ølnes Gård

We have a small, family run farm, with: organic orchards - apple, plums and pears; a community garden - run by the farmer and tenants on the farm; and a sheep and dairy herd. The family consists of Sigur and Gunvor and their son Jostein, and they look after the day to day activities. The WWOOF profile is managed by their friend and tenant, Deborah.

The Ølnes family have been here for more than 4 generations, and still practice transhumance farming. This involves the seasonal movement of livestock up to higher pastures during the spring and summer, returning them to lower valleys for the winter. We need to be clear that the dairy and sheep side of the farm is not organic, but because we use the transhumance system it is ‘low impact’.

Our busiest times of the year are Spring, Summer and Autumn, from April to October. Tasks include lambing, pruning fruit trees, establishing the garden, haymaking and harvesting the fruit as well as the daily routines on the farm. We can offer a range of opportunities and work including a second far property we need help renovating - so anybody with construction or carpentry experience would be most wellcome. We also have spare overalls and waterproof gear available to loan you, including spare

boots.

We wish to emphasise that the work is seasonal and can be monotonous at times. Should you request to come during the winter we normally only have daily routines with the animals available and really only need one volunteer during this season.

We are interested in volunteers willing to stay from 3 weeks to 3 months. If you would like to stay more that 3 weeks, this can be arranged, but only once you are here and if we have work available. In return we can offer you an amazing location near several UNESCO world heritage sites, farm size food portions and, an opportunity to get a real taste of fjord life in Norway.

One further note, the typical Norwegian farmer's diet is meat and dairy based. Any vegetarians and vegans are warmly welcome to Ølnes, but please understand we have limited experience with this this type of cuisine. However, you are more than welcome to prepare food with us, share recipes, and of course, make use of the produce from our community vegetable plot.NameØlnes GårdRegionSogn og FjordaneAreal0Ecological0AnimalsSheep, CowsLanguagesEnglish, Norwegian and GermanPreferred visit length2-3 weeksWe check messagesweeklyPreferred period of visitMay -OctoberWe produce our own feed for our animalsYes

Welcome to Lygra Gjestegard

Lygra Gjestegard is an organic vegetable farm with sheep of different breeds. We have different kitchen gardens to demonstrate food growing on different scales and to suit different needs.

In addition to growing vegetables and having different animals, we also run a Guesthouse on the farm. Here we accommodate people, and sometimes serve meals made from our own grown vegetables and other local organic food.

The work on the farm consists off varying tasks within herb and vegetable growing and harvesting, care and feeding of animals, general farm work with soil, buildings, cultural landscape maintenance, fishing and other activities. There is also some preparing and cooking of food and other activities related to the Guesthouse.

Accommodation for WWOOFers are mainly in one of our two caravans. Shared bathroom with other WWOOFers and people on the farm.Choice of being self-catering or sharing meals. Preferred if volunteers could stay for at least 3 weeks. We have internet and WiFi on the farm.

We normally host 2-3 WWOOFers at the same time, and up to 4 in the busy parts of the seasons.

Lygra are connected to the main land by a stone bridge, and the sea therefore surrounds the island.In different parts of the year, the farm work is also taking place one several islands around the main island of Lygra. Here we hold wild sheep, work in the forest, pick berries and do other activities. We also kayak and do other activities in the sea, such as swimming and trips with the boat.

The age of the people on the farm are ranging from 29 until 40 (plus the kids). Some are vegetarian, and some are eating meat and fish. We are four adults living permanent on the farm, spread out over several buildings. We are from Norway and Poland, and therefore we have Norwegian, English and Polish as spoken languages. So foreign WWOOFers are not the only ones on the farm who are having a hard time to understand the Norwegian language ;)

The family heritage on the farm are going hundreds of years back, and we have allot of stone age, viking and middle age history connected to the culture historical landscape of the island Lygra.

We are situated 45 minutes North from the city of Bergen, and the farm and area around where assigned with the UNESCO`s global cultural landscape prize in 2001, followed by Europa Nostra`s cultural landscape prize i 2005.

Fell free to ask any questions you might have.

Best wishes from Lygra Gjestegard.

Welcome to Alm Gard

We are Dutch farmers who emigrated ten years ago from holland. We have a small scale production of ice-cream which is very popular in this part of the country. The products are sold in grocery stores, restaurants and on the market and festivals around. We produce both organic and conventional but the cattle, the land and fruit production are all organic. Tourists come from all over the world but most of them are dutch. There is various work to be done like feeding cattle, haying, cleaning stable, produce ice-cream, picking rasberries, work in the vegetable garden, selling ice-cream in the market, picking weed, building, painting and more. A lot of food we eat comes from the farm.

Welcome to Jan Solberg, Iryna Omelchenko

My wife, Iryna and I work on the farm together. Her somewhat mentally retarded 18 years old girl, Monica, also lives with us and takes part in our life on the farm. We sow vegetables in a growth chamber from april and plant in the field early june. Rootfruits, cabbage and potatoes are stored in a soil cellar during winter. Some vegetables such as parsley and brokkoli may be sold on the local market once a week from 15 th. july. Sheepwool is shared in may, and the sheep are in the mountains july to early sept. Last part of july we cut the grass for hay or silage. We will isolate and set up panel in a gazebo and a garage, and finish the building of two plastic tunnels for vegetables. Two new rooms will be built inside the barn. We also need to make fences, and cut trees for firewood. Work will be offered with all the above mentioned items. We will work much together with the necessary instructions, but also somewhat alone. I am also manager of Children Green World Vision which teaches sustainable, organic, no till farming methods for smallholders in Mali called farming Gods way. We also apply these methods for some of the crop on the farm. Once a year for the last 7 years I have travelled in Mali, but mostly i keep in almost daily contact with the local leader through skype and email.

Welcome to Elvarheim

We can't really call ourselves farmers, as our property is far smaller than even the smallest smallholdings in Norway. But we do keep animals and we do grow our own food. And if we don't grow it, we collect it from the rivers, lakes and forest around the house.

We live a two and a half hour drive north-east of Oslo, in an area called "Finnskogen". This would translate into something like "the forest of the Finns", and refers to the immigration of Finnish people back in the 1600. They were so called "forest Finns" and lived by slash and burn agriculture (growing rye) in these vast forests.

We need help with a whole bunch of things, from feeding the animals, working in the vegetable garden and in the greenhouse, fencing, painting and working on the houses, to cooking and preserving food, harvesting berries and herbs in the forest, foraging, fishing and even some hunting during the hunting season. We also run a popular café/restaurant and a micro brewery together with the people at Nervang (also a wwoof-farm), where we aim to prepare and serve high quality food from the forest and from the farms in the area. We really appreciate, and encourage, woofers to take part in this as well!

In addition to all this, we also really appreciate the cultural exchange part of this. With four small kids it's not so easy to travel like we used to, so right now we want the world to come to us instead.

We work for six to seven hours a day, five days a week. But sometimes we just skip work and go fishing or swimming instead, and sometimes we work a little longer.

Wwoofers live either in a seperate little house, an old and cosy "lumberjack-cabin", or a caravan, both located just next to our house. Well, you don¨t live there, you sleep there. The living part takes place all over, together with us. But with four small kids in the house, we're sure you will appreciate a little privacy as well.

Good, old Tolstoy was right: "I have lived through much, and now I think I have found what is needed for happiness. A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good, and who are not accustomed to have it done to them; then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books, music, love for one's neighbor—such is my idea of happiness"

That pretty much sums it all up!

Welcome to Ødelien

At the moment: we are particularly looking for people to help us with the spring cleaning from after Easter untill about 20th of May. You can stay from 2-4 weeks. In summer (4-6 weeks) we are looking for a couple or 2 friends who are responsible and can take care of the duties even if we are not here.

About the farm: Ødelien has been in the family for generations, and many of the houses date back to 1865. Now it is our turn to take over and give new spirit to the place, and we hope you will join us in the process. The main income of the farm is to run the 9 tourist cabins. At the moment we have decided to give them a new and updated look, and it is one of the things we work on. From our previous farm we have experience building with clay, strawbales and other alternative materials. In Ødelien many of the houses are dating back to 1865, so we will take this into consideration when we give the farm a new face.

About us: We are a family with 3 children (7, 10 and 14). Tone grew up on the farm and Pascal grew up

in New Zealand/Australia. We have been woofing ourself.and also hosted many wwoofers over the years.

Work: Painting and restauring the cabins are our priorities at the moment. Besides work might include, house keeping, child minding, gardening, landscaping, forest work. If you are particularly skilled or interested in any of these jobs it is just to tell. We try to find jobs that you feel comfortable with. If you have building experience that will be much appreciated, and if you have no special skills that is fine too.

Activities: The closeness to the forest and mountains makes the farm a unique destination for nature lovers. There are endless opportunities for hiking and biking. The farm also has a fishing pond and a canoe. In winter this is an ultimate ski-destination for both down hill and cross country. Many artists has also been attracted too the village because of the special light and the living cultural heritageRecently there has been opened an artist home in the village, where artists come to work and stay. There are also permanent exhibitions in the village.

We are particularly looking for people who likes to be around children, as they are an important part of our life at the moment.

We are continuing a legacy from the father and forefather of my wife, a small scale farm. We are a family of 4, with 2 kids aged 2,5 and 5, a boy and a girl. The father and mother of my wife are still living here, in the house next to us.

We started up with a small herd of sheep a year after the farm was handed over to us. We have several projects and have set many goals we would like to achieve, and will welcome any help we can get :)Current projects: Establishing 2 new areas (total around 11 ha) for the sheep to graze upon in the spring/autumn. We chop down trees (birch) and produce firewood for sale. We also normally have at least one environmental/culturing adjustment of some area of landscape we own each year. We also try to plow, harrow and sow one of the fields of grass that we own each year. We own 4 cabins that need attendance and maintenance. We are also establishing a new field of grass that earlier was marshland (3 ha).Hopefully will some of these tasks be of interest for you :)I am an agronomist and will of course share the knowledge I have gained through studies and from farming, through discussions and through the work we do at the farm.

Our most hectic period is during lambing. We expect about 60-70 lambs in april-may 2014. The lambing can occur both day and night so it can be an effort to get through it :)

We have a wonderful nature here, and we live in a quiet, peaceful area. There are many possible activities naturewise in our "backyard" :) During winter the most popular activity around here is probably skiing or going on trips with the snowmobile. We have a lake close by for swimming etc during summer.

My wife has a job outside the farm, she works as a teacher.Lodging: We have some seperate buildings you can sleep in. We would like you to share our meals with us, and welcome you to introduce us to cooking from your country if you feel like it.Food: We eat "normal" norwegian food; Healthy, nourishable food:Fresh vegetables, fish, fruit, meat, bread etc.Other things to note: We live far from shops and even farther away from cafees, cinemas etc :) It's about a 15 km drive to nearest grocery.Note that our kids are still small and require a lot of attention and take their toll on us parents. Due to this we prefer for you to leave to your housing in the evenings after we put the kids to bed, so that we can have some time for ourselves as well :)Note: All wwoofers that would like to come to us must have an insurance that can cover any eventual accident.To ensure that our wwoofers have read our presentation, please write the word "Grond" when you

Welcome to Permakulturplanter.nohttp://www.wwoofnorway.org/farms/home/permakulturplanterno/

What's going on here is permaculture growing of mainly perennial plants and vegetables to sell. We can use help for all kind of things: Building, digging, weeding, harvesting, sowing, planting, fencing, preservation of food, video editing (if one have knowlegde) etc. Irja is educated organic farmer (at Sogn Jord og Hagebruksskule) from Vågå in east Norway and Benjamin is a danish permaculturist with years of experience in forest gardening, trees and perennial vegetables. We have been wwoofing many places ourselves, so we hope we have a good idea of how to make a good wwoofing stay. We would like you to learn something and to learn something from you. We have 1,4 hectare we can grow, where we are planning and establishing forest garden systems. But mainly we work on a small area (garden size) with very high production per m2 through complicated polycultures.At our place you are close to everything almost, 300 meters to sea (warm enough to svim in), forest, mountains, 2-4 km to center of town, shop, library, Bioforsk Økologisk (national research facility for organic farming). We have several good rooms available for wwoofers and two bathrooms, so we should have space enough for you.Help from wwoofers is useful all year round and we put breaks in between wwoofing stays, so we can be more present hosts when we have you here. We are a little family with a 1-year-old baby, so that's a big part of our daily life, evenings and weekends.

Welcome to Bjørkhaugen biodynamic farmhttp://www.wwoofnorway.org/farms/home/bjoerkhaugen-biodynamic-farm/

Welcome to Bjørkhaugen biodynamic farm

We are a small family farm, with a 40-year old history in biodynamic agriculture. Our farm is many-sided: we have about 30 cows and calves of local traditional race, 2 working fjord horses, woodland, pastures and a vegetable garden for the farm`s needs. I, Daniela, am running the farm together with my husband, who, although officially a pensioner, is still playing the main role in the farm's life and work. We are looking for people who have open and positive attitude, deep interest in organic, or (even better) biodynamic agriculture, enjoy work and have a sense of responsibility. We need help in the areas mentioned above: tending the animals + milking, forest and pasture work, making firewood for winter, gardening, building..., the type of work is depending on the time of the year. We have a room for the volunteers in a separate loghouse/cabin, where two people can live. We have a composting toilet outside and a wood-fired finnish sauna – but no warm shower, so you may have to change your washing habits when you come to us. The volunteers do their own cooking and meal preparation. But we see each other a lot: both me and my husband are actively at work most of the day. And our two small children (6 and 8) are «passionate farmers». We try to be ecological not only in our work, but also in our lifestyle. So, we cook mostly out of what we produce in the various seasons of the year. You will not find any junk food here, such as ketchup, white flour... We use very little sugar. Although our main production is meat and milk, vegetarians can survive here, as long as they are used to cook from lentils, beans etc. Such a lifestyle takes time, so you will be expected to work in average 7 hours, with one free day a week. We arrange our working days after the needs of the animals, plants, weather..., so you will mostly be working both morning and afternoon, with a break in the middle of the day or other times between the work. We prefer longer stays, because there is a lot to learn. Generally minimum 1- 2 months, exceptions are possible only if we have vacancy. First month is a trial period. We wish to share our life and work with sober people. The whole farm is non-smoking and alcohol free. The same with drugs – no hard/soft drugs, and please no people with a «drug history».It is hard to survive for a little farm as we are, so it is important that your motive to come here is to work and learn, not to hang around. About our location: We live in a beautiful fjord landscape, with long-distance views in all directions. The nature is very variated here and you can see a lot on your walks. We speak Norwegian, English, German, Czech, Swedish, French, Russian. Important: none of us is Norwegian by origin, and we do not live a typical Norwegian lifestyle. Also, with our little income we could not even afford it:-( So, if you wish to get to know Norwegian lifestyle and culture, please try something else (e.g. as an au-pair). Here you can learn only about ecological agriculture.If you wish us to take your application seriously (and answer), 1. PLEASE WRITE SOMETHING ABOUT YOU (a kind of CV: about what you have done up to now, your work experience, what your

interests are), and 2. ABOUT YOUR MOTIVATION TO WORK AND LIVE ON AN ORGANIC FARM. Also please write 3. WHEN YOU CAN COME AND HOW LONG YOU CAN STAY!!! (1 month is an absolute minumum.)We are very busy, so we answer only to those, who write all of the above information in their first e-mail.

Just now we need a practical, interested person who can learn to milk and help with calving. It is a lot of work in the calving period, so big motivation to do exactly this is needed, as well as commitment. Minimum stay in this period is 3 months.

P.S.: This is a wwoof site, not a job agency. We do not and cannot offer any jobs, as we ourselves have only about 15% of the average norwegian income.Job applications sent to us will be considered as spam and not answered!

Welcome to Ringestågahttp://www.wwoofnorway.org/farms/home/ringestaaga/The farm is a mountain farm located 500m above sea level. We have 2 cows, 1 cat, 7 chickens, 2 horses, 3 rabitts, 2 dogs and bees, and soon sheeps. Heating is based on firewood, so making firewood is a typical winter job. This spring we wil work a lot with fencing. In summertime we will build and renovate buildings, we will alsow do gardening, fishing and haying. Our main goal is to do traditional farming being self sufficient in food. We grow grains, potatoes, carrots, salad, onions,tomatoes, apples etc. We are skilled within a wide range of handicrafts. We are also musicians mostly within folk music. We welcome wwoofers who share our values and interests and want to enjoy hard work and lots of learning and a charming social life. Because we live in the mountains, we depend on fishing and hunting as well as domestic animal resources. Vegetarians and people on special diets will therefore find it difficult to stay with us. take a look at our blogg to see more http://hostbergersgaardsbruk.blogspot.no/NameRingestågaRegionTelemarkAreal0Ecological80Animals2 Horses, 2 cows, 7 chickens, 3 rabitts 1 cat and 2 dogs.LanguagesNorwegian, Swedish, German, English and RussianWe check messagesonce a week, sometimes every dayPreferred period of visitsummer and autumnWe grow and collect seeds for our own useYesWe produce our own feed for our animals

Welcome to Come have some fun :)http://www.wwoofnorway.org/farms/home/come-have-some-fun/

Welcome to Come have some fun :)Hi guys!Thank you for visiting my profile! I would love to have a message from you!So, lets start:I'm searching workers pretty much all the time! I would encourage couples and friends traveling together to contact me. I have to be away from the farm a lot in november and december, and I need help to look after my lovely animals and my house. Please contact me if this sounds like something you would like to be part of.

My current work situation is divided between the farm and a forestry company that I own and work in. During daytime on weekdays I'm driving a harvester in the regions forests. This means that I'm not in the farm all the time, and it requires that my wwoofers are independent. Its good if you have someone to travel with (couples/friends) so that you are two people on the farm when I'm at work. I have good experience with inviting people to stay on my farm for longer periods while I'm away on holiday or business.

The lambing in april-may is an adventure (and busy). In the summer the sheep are in the mountain and work at the farm is mostly harvesting gras, various small jobs and chilling out. I bring the sheep from the mountain in september

April - May is a busy time, as the sheep are having their lambs from around the 25.april. A few weeks later the fields are green with gras, and we let the sheep out in the fields around the farm until the middle of june. Then we let them go free in the surrounding mountains all summer. We harvest the gras and store it in silos or make hay, to use in winter. This happens in four stages: one in june and july and two times in august. The summer brings many opportunities, such as picking berries in the garden and in the mountain, picking mushrooms, fishing in the lake, looking after the sheep in the mountain and so on. Autumn comes and it's time to get the sheep from the mountain, a task that requires many people. There is a various work to do with the sheep and the lambs throughout september and october. In November we take the sheep inside, and until march they mostly just need feeding. The spare time is spent working in the forest. We cut trees for timber and firewood. Making firewood for next winter consists of cutting the tree, skidding it down from the mountain with the tractor, cutting the logs in smaller pieces, splitting and storing them on pallets.NameCome have some fun :)RegionSogn og Fjordane

Welcome to Utigard Vindalhttp://www.wwoofnorway.org/farms/home/utigard-vindal/

Our family took over this farm last summer, and we now have 30 sheep and some chicken. The farm is traditionally built for the area, with large stone foundations and timber walls. The farm is located in a area that is perfect for hiking, trails to the famous Trollheimen and Innerdalen is close to the farm. You can borrow bicycles and there are plenty of opportunities for fishing. We are converting to organic farming in spring 2015, and trying to build up a bigger herd. We need most help during lambing and fencing new grazing areas (may), but also setting up a vegetable garden (april/may), barn renovation (june/july), restoring stone fences (may-july). Harvesting (late june/early july and late august). We can host 2-3 people at the same time, small groups and couples are welcome, you get your own room, and share all other facilities and meals will be served in our familiy kitchen.

Welcome to Hilde Stefferudhttp://www.wwoofnorway.org/farms/home/hilde-stefferud/

My name is Hilde Stefferud and I am since 30 years a farmer. I am running two farms with my Husband.Both farms have around 10 cows. The most important is to give them a really nice living condition. That means they have always enough and nice food, they must have much place for walking and eating and they also have some special rooms where they can sleep. My cows are free and can deceide on their own, if they want to go outside or stay inside, even in winter.

The farm where we are living is in Sigdal, a nice place surrounded by beautiful mountains with forrest. The closest town is Åmot. If you like hiking there are many roads through the forrest up to the top of the mountains.

The other farm is in Presterud, a place inside the forrest, close to Vikersund. There is also a house which is older then 200 years and sometimes we will sleep over there.

The work on the farms is mostly close to the cows, but they are really friendly and not dangerous. You will also feed the small cows every day. But there are also a lot of other tasks at and around the farm. Sometimes we are working inside the barn and sometimes inside the forrest. There is a lot of work which have to be done and so it will be never boring.

Me and my husband are looking forward to meet you. Best is, to call me directly.NameHilde StefferudRegionBuskerudAreal20Ecological100AnimalsCowsLanguagesNorwegian and englishDietNormalPreferred visit length1 monthWe check messagesPer weekPreferred period of visitSummerWe produce renewable energy (wind, Sun etc)YesWe produce our own feed for our animalsYes

Welcome to Sailing The Farm Collective.http://www.wwoofnorway.org/farms/home/sailing-the-farm-collective/

Interested in self-sufficiency? Want to help build a community? Love the sea? On an organic farm in Norway, our collective is for anyone keen to learn, share ideas, and work hard. We are building a sailboat (hopefully the first of many). When she is finished (we aim for 2015), we want to sail the world, visiting other eco-villages, collecting knowledge and traveling in the most eco-friendly way possible. Anyone who helps us out will have the chance to join our crew.

We also work on the farm, building up the infrastructure to create a stable base for our community. We live with the farm cat/dog and some (very) free-range chickens + bees. Eventually we hope to grow all our food. We want to create a place that will continue to flourish, where crops, thoughts, adventures, and of course boats, can grow!

We ask for a minimum commitment of thirty days, with a week-long trial period. We welcome anyone as long as you are happy to work hard and help out where eeded. There are enough beds for eight volunteers and the schedule is Monday to Friday, with approximately eight to nine hours of work a day. Please bring your pets if you can! Boat work is predominantly during the winter and jobs include upholstry, installing the engine, sewing the sails, constructing the mast and fitting the interior. If you have any particular skills in these areas, please let us know. On the farm you may be asked to do anything from plowing and harvesting to jam making, roof building, beekeeping, digging, painting, or grinding the barley for our morning porridge. It is guaranteed that you will be asked to cook; our diet is vegetarian and we try to eat only seasonal food, grown as locally as possible.

Come help us out and join our tribe of sea-gypsies!

PS: PLEASE WRITE SEA-GYPSY APPLICATION ON TOP OF YOU APPLICATION, IF YOU WANT ANSWER..

We have 30 sheep inside in the winter and around 60 lamb every spring. At the moment we have14 hens, one rooster, a dog and a cat with a mind of its own.

Summers are warm(20+) and winters are cold(-20).We work inside and outside all year. Looking after the animals is high priority, fencing, making firewood, repairs, painting, maintaining machines and tractors.Spring 2015 we are preparing woodland to become pasture for the sheep. Wolf and bear are killing sheep in the forests around us, so its safer to keep the animals at home. Thats why we need more grass closer to the farm. There will be some building activity on the farmhouse. Both the barn and the house needs painting this year.Accomodation is seperate from the house. With electricity and a woodstove. Small but cosy. Later, in the spring of 2015 we make a room ready in the house.

Welcome to Hurdalsjøen Økologiske Landsby

We have 5 cob houses on the property, and 5 wooden houses/cottages. Some of these will be used for housing the guests.

Today there are 17 people living in the ´old´ ecovillage: 6 children and 11 grownups. In the summertime we will have 7-9 volunteers in the village.

We can offer a WWOOFer a deal that they work 5-6 hours per day, and get food and accommodation in return. You will have access to a kitchen, bathroom with shower and sauna. There will also be common meals almost every day.

Type of work will vary from vegetable production, cooking, work around the farm with different tasks, maintenance, painting, animal care, transport, construction work etc. – mostly practical tasks, but we will also try to adjust the work to each person to create a win-win situation ;).

This year we will build 30 new houses (the actual building started in February 2014, and 14 are

completed) many people will move here in the close future.

We have also taken over a nearby school, that we will turn into a sustainable business and resource center. There will be a lot to do – many different tasks around this that needs to be covered!Back
