The Experience

Come experience the beauty of Norway while immersing yourself in a sustainable, nature-focused lifestyle.

My time on the farm was truly wonderful! I met some really kind people, and the work was enjoyable as well.

However, it's important to stay flexible, as help might be needed on the farm even during your free time.
