Volunteers stay in our farmhouse, located right next to the renovated barn where our family lives. The house is also listed on Airbnb, but it is reserved exclusively for volunteers during their stay. You will have your own private bedroom, as well as access to a living room with TV and a fully equipped kitchen.
Our farm is located almost two hours from Trondheim, beautifully situated by the ocean and surrounded by peaceful nature. Two mountains on the property offer spectacular views, and the area is known for its tranquility and friendly people.
