The Experience

We would love to welcome volunteers to come and help us to further develop our beautiful farm. We have a focus on sustainability, we want to grow vegetables, use alpacas as therapy animals/offer alpaca encounters/alpaca walks to people, and use the forest and ocean as a resource of food, ++. Volunteers will have to do a variery of tasks (animal care, building projects, cleaning igloos, gardening and vegetable growing). You are warmly welcomed!

This is truly one of the nicest experiences for people who just want to get in touch with nature and find inner peace, while also doing hands on work. Hegje and her family were so warm and welcoming, I will surely come again. So don't hesitate and apply!

Volunteering for the farm was such a great experience . I felt so in touch with nature , and learned a lot about Norwegian culture and life. Hege is such an interesting person who is kind and communicative. She feels more like a friend and I really admire the trust she has in the volunteers. The volunteer house is cosy and comfortable , and you meet like-minded people . The work is so rewarding and I loved working as a collaborative team. Overall it is an experience which I would recommend to anybody :) (I will miss the adventures with Jon !)

This was my first ever volunteering experience with Worldpackers and it couldn't have been more perfect! Hege and her family are such kind people who have a lot of respect for the people and nature around them. Work on the farm is diverse and fun, especially the animal care, and you get a lot of flexibility with your working hours. I felt privileged being able to live and work in such beautiful surroundings! Overall this was an amazing experience and I would definitely recommend Hege's farm to all volunteers looking for a place to connect with nature :)

My stay at the farm was beyond incredible! The place is located in the middle of Fjords and the views are breathtaking. Hege was very flexible with the tasks as well as days off, she is very understanding and super easy to communicate with. Main tasks in winter time is taking care of the animals, helping with the reconstruction, cutting branches and cleaning the wool. All the other volunteers I met during my time were also really nice people and I hope to meet them again somewhere in the world! I'm happy I'll have a chance to be back in summer and experience this place at a different time :)
