Me and my boyfriend spent two weeks with Lily, Trond and the animals. It was our first experience like this so we didn't really know what to expect, but it turned out even better than we expected. Lily and Trond are open, heartfelt and funny people and it really felt like home while staying with them. They really tried to show us different kinds of work so everyday looked a bit different and we learned a lot. During the stay we experienced a lot, from heavy work, to animal care, deep talks and a lot more. We really recommend staying with Lily and Trond and really hope to come back someday!

This was one of the most enriching experiences I've had. The hosts are super open and caring people who make sure everyone feels seen and involved. The tasks were varied and well-suited to each volunteer. We did chores around the barn, cooked meals and tended the animals. I learned so much from Lily and Trond, not only practical skills but also about their way of living. The house is in a simple state due to renovations, but the atmosphere more than makes up for it: it was always full of good vibes. The fact that they host multiple volunteers at once made it really fun too. Highly recommended!

The two of us spent almost two weeks there and really enjoyed our time. We immediately felt at home and Trond & Lily knew how to create a pleasant and fun atmosphere. The day`s work was determined each morning and the tasks were adapted to the respective skills. The farm is relatively remote, but we had no problems enjoying our free time there. You can walk from there to the lake within 10 minutes for a quick swim. We were offered a lift often. Our highlights were the “family trip“, the BBQ, the amazing food every day and the dad jokes. Thank you for everything, we'd come back anytime! :)

Had a great time!! Wish I stayed longer as I felt very welcomed and comfortable. The lodging was good and the work and hours changed daily so it was always something new and interesting. Very flexible and friendly with clear instructions and expectations. Great dog and chickens, ducks not so much. Learned so much and got to spend time in nature that was very beautiful. 10/10 would recommend!!

The experience with Lily and Trond was truly amazing. We shared many unique experiences. We learned to follow the rhythm of nature — the best times to cut trees, gather firewood, and how to properly use an axe. They know how to make bread, beer, cider, and even vinegar, which is absolutely impressive! Spending time with them is also a great way to connect with the local culture , what people eat, how they think, and what they value. Living with them and their animals for 7 weeks was a real adventure — one of the best first impressions I've had in this country!
