Organic apple farming and beekeeping in beautiful Hardanger
The experience
We need help run our organic apple orchard. Ander is a beekeeper. The task we want to do together depends on the time of the year you come. We mostly do tasks as mulching/raking grass, thinning apples, watering, weeding, supporting apple trees, apple picking, juice making, wood making, greeting guests at sauna, beekeeping, maintenance farmhouses, gardening, fencing and labelling juice bottles. We care for a rich biodiversity on our farmland.
