I had the most incredible experience at the farm. I was welcomed with unwavering kindness by people with a zest for life who made me feel like I was part of their family. I helped cook community lunches with the organic, often self-grown produce, and the cow meat from the farm's cows - being some of the best quality meat I've ever had. The property itself is beautiful, surrounded by nature in the Norwegian countryside, giving the opportunity to spend time with yourself in peace. This place taught me so much about myself, farming, and I feel so much gratitude for my experience at the farm.

My stay at the farm was absolutely amazing! I stayed there for 3 weeks in January, same as another volunteer from Germany. We stayed in a room together in the beautiful community house with all the community members, although they offered us a private room, when there weren't many guests. We got a warm meal once a day and the kitchen complete with food was open for us at every time. The tasks were cleaning the guest rooms or helping in the kitchen, it was really easy. The people were so nice and caring and we could always ask if we needed anything. Everything was so inspiring!

I call myself very lucky that I got the chance to volunteer at the farm! The work was very easy and they would always make sure that you have enough time and energy to manage it. The tasks can differ a lot depending on what is needed which brings a lot of variety to the daily life. I agree that this place is truly magical - not only because of the breathtaking nature, the lovely animals or activities that allow you to find balance - but especially because of the most heartwarming people! The community spreads so much positive energy, respect, care and love to everyone and at any time!❤️

I really enjoyed my stay at the farm! Living in a community was a beautiful experience, the people there are super nice and I was able to learn a lot from them. I got the opportunity to take part in different types of meditation, sleep outside under the stars and go to a concert. Besides that, I made really good friends with the other volunteers and we had so much fun together! I already miss my time there :,) I am so grateful that I was able to volunteer at this place, I can only recommend it!

The farm is an amazing, cozy and peaceful place that makes it very easy to feel comfortable. The work on the farm or in the kitchen is really fun and was never too much, so you have enough free time and still learn a lot about sustainability and organic farming. Living in a community was a great experience that i would recommend to everyone because you can make true connections and every individual person contributes to it but also profits from it. Thanks again to the wonderful people that made this experience so nice and welcomed me with an open heart!
