Programa detallado

About Us:
We are a married couple with four children, living on a small scale farm in the Lofoten islands. We bought the farm, that had not been actively farmed since the 1970s, in 2018 and accidentally startet farming. Now we are working to regenerate the farm and the land, selling our products to the best restaurants in the region.

In 2024 we started welcoming volunteers to help out at our farm. This has been a great experience, with wonderful young people visiting us and making valuable contributions towards fulfilling our mission of creating a sustainable farm.

The volunteers live in a house on the neighbouring property, they cook together and enjoy activities like hiking in their free time.
