Volunteering at Kari Anne's farm in Aurskog was one of the most beautiful and heartwarming experiences of my life. From the very beginning, her kindness, care, and clear communication made me feel safe and welcomen . Each day brought joy :) spending time with the alpacas, chickens, and rabbits was magical, and the work felt light and meaningful. The house was cozy (I had it to myself!), the food was amazing, and most of all, Kari Anne and her lovely family made me feel like part of theirs. I'll always be grateful for the love and trust they shared. Truly unforgettable. 💚

My experience with Kari-Anne, Geir and Licke-Leandra was super. I felt immediately welcomed and found a super friendly and helpful family. It was a unique experience, especially working in close contact with alpacas. Hard not to love them. Kari-Anne also always tries to make you feel at home and comfortable, meeting your needs. An experience of nature, animals and Norwegian culture that will leave a lasting impression on you.

We recommend Tamara for any other hosts - with no problem! She is so positive, fun to be with, selv independent and secure with all work tasks around the farm. She had a beautiful impact towards our alpacas, and we just loved to have her at our farm. Wish you good luck on all new adventures! And welcome back to Norway any time!

I had an amazing time at the farm! I learned a lot about farm tasks and animal care, and the work environment was peaceful, surrounded by nature. Kari-Anne and her family are very welcoming and attentive to volunteers' needs. The igloos need cleaning a few times a week, mostly on weekends when there are reservations. I was alone for nearly a month and the house where I slept was super big, comfortable and the views were stunning. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'm thankful for their support and patience with me, even when I was struggling with some things! 🤗

I absolutely recommend Alpaca Farm. It has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I learned so many new things about alpacas and connecting with nature, and about discpline, perseverance and believing in my potential. Kari-Anne and her beautiful family taught me lessons I will carry with me for the rest of my life. They are lovely and caring people. If you want to connect with nature, get to know alpacas and an authentic farm life, this is for you. And of course the beautiful scenery of Norway is always a plus. Thank you for inspiring me! I will definitely go back!! 😊
