We had a very good time staying with Jan ove for four weeks. He is not the most extroverted person you will ever meet, but he is very nice, welcoming and respectful and will help you with anything you need when you ask him. Tabea on the other hand is very extroverted and will do anything to make you feel included. We stayed in the small house and is was very cozy, and warm when you light the fireplace. The view on the fjord is amazing and you can da lot of hiking tours in the mountains. There are also a lot of cats. Thank you for the experience 🫶🏻

We had a wonderful stay on the farm! The work was rewarding, but the people were the highlight. We got to work with 2-4 other volunteers at a time which was really nice, and met people from around the world. The work varied from day to day, with apple picking, bottling juice, pressing apples and more. The work hours were great, we had lots of time to relax and explore. The living environment was really comfortable and we loved living with so many cats! P.s: try befriending the local band, they are amazing!!

I have really enjoyed my staying at the farm. I felt really welcome there. The host respected the working time. He also cooked for us, and it was delicious 😋. Also, we had the chance to cook whatever we want, like cakes, cookies ... The work was not so difficult, and we had a lot of free time to do hikes nearby and explore the Norwegian nature. I enjoyed this experience, I would definitely repeat.

Staying at Jan-Oves Farm for 2 month was really exciting. I learned a lot of new things and had an amazing time. However this place might not be good for you if you can't entertain yourself. This place is mainly nice for hiking and you can take a bus to the next city, but that might take you about 2 hours. But the nature is really beautiful and Jan Ove knows a lot of interesting storys and facts. You just need to ask him. I would recommend that place for everyone, it was really nice

I had a wonderful time at Jan's apple farm. I was warmly welcomed, and the working hours are respected. The location is surrounded by nature, so it's a bit remote from larger cities. If you love nature, this is definitely the place to be. During my stay, there wasn't much daylight, so I recommend bringing something to keep yourself entertained indoors. There are also plenty of adorable cats roaming around :))

This was my first ever volunteering as well as solo traveling experience- would have not wanted it any other way. I met the most amazing people there and we shared lots of activities like hiking or fishing out on the fjord. It's a quiet place, so you can't expect a vibrant, energetic, loud atmosphere there- but that is exactly what made the time feel special. It felt like a second home to me over time, so I would also recommend staying for longer to really get used to the tasks and the routine there. Jan himself always shared his knowledge. Thank you :) Also the cats add to the experience

Matt and I had a great time volunteering at the orchard. Jon did a great job showing us the ropes in regards to both living there as well as the volunteer work. We got the work done before lunch and had a lot of time to fish, hike, explore, and get to know the other volunteers. There was plenty of space and food for everyone to live and work comfortably.

My stay at Jan Ove's farm was incredible. The work hours were always respected, and the work itself wasn't too hard. At times it was a bit repetitive but when only working for 5h a day it's no problem. There were at least 7 other volunteers there during my stay and it made the experience even more incredible. Jan is a great host, he's very knowledgeable so don't be afraid to ask him questions. In free time there is a lot to if you like to be in nature (not much if you prefer the city). Thank you Jan this was the most amazing experience!

Had the best experience I could ever wish for. Ticked off all the boxes like hikes and seeing northern light but what made it for me is the people. I advise you to get out together and don't stay in your own bubble. There is so much you can do like fishing, going on trips and hikes to cabins etcetera. I will never forget you guys ❤️✨ For fishing ask for the boat, cast the lure and let it sink to the bottom. Give it some taps and try to feel bites. After some time reel it in at constant pace and drop it again about halfway and repeat. Go catch delicious cod, saithe and much more!

My time at Jan Ove's farm was enjoyable! Jan is always busy but really nice and easygoing. During my stay, 3 to 7 other volunteers were also staying at the farm, which made my time there even more special. Jan respects the agreed-upon working hours. However, he is sometimes out in the evening and might ask you to cook or feed the rabbits. The work can get monotonous, but it is not that bad since you will only be working 5 h a day. Overall, I had a fantastic time and would recommend the experience at Jan Ove's farm!
