I couldn't have asked for a better experience in Norway. From the first day pål made me feel at home. He is open minded and easy to be around and i really enjoyed our conversations and working together. We mainly repaired fences and worked on the hay harvest and pål trusted me with the tractor and other machinery i had never used. He was always fair with the working hrs and he really went the extra mile to make sure i had a good experience. The dogs are fantastic and full of energy, the sheep are very well cared for and the farm is surrounded by beautiful norwegian nature. :)

My time at the farm was a great experience and i am so grateful to have been there to help during the lambing season. Pål was very kind, caring and welcoming. I was made to feel at home from day one and appreciated his friendship and humour during my stay. The location where the farm is located is truly in a beautiful part of Norway, it is very peaceful and quiet and surrounded by stunning mountains. It was such a unique opportunity to learn and experience the way Pål operates and runs his farm and it was quite impressive to say the least. Im very grateful and appreciative for everything.

My stay at the farm was really incredible, I will never forget the impressions and experiences I had the pleasure to live and see Pål has a unique character, his kindness, open-mindedness and his humour made me feel at home from the first day The every day life is very flexible, I had a lot of fun at work (especially taking care of the lambs :) ) but there was also room to explore the beautiful nature by hiking and small road trips The dogs are very affectionate which I loved 😍 I am incredibly grateful for my stay and I hope I can come back one day… Thank you Pål for everything!

My stay at Pål's was great ! He's very nice and even if i'm shy, he loved to tell me stories and facts about Norway, which made me very comfortable. His two dogs are lovely too.
I was here in October, so my tasks consisted mostly in giving water and food to the sheep but also to help moving flocks from a place to another, to help sorting and weighting sheep, among other things. There were big days as much as chill days, but nothing is really difficult to do. The landscape around is beautiful, with or without snow and i was lucky enough to see northern lights.
Thank you Pål and see you ! 😁

I felt very much at home at Pål's the farm, sharing the house with the others, having a dinner together each evening. In summer, Pål's main work is to make grass balls, so my tasks were in the barn or around the house – cleaning, painting, lawn mowing, dog sitting. In September, we started bringing the sheep home from the forest, which was an amazing experience for me. None of the tasks were difficult, and they were suitable for anyone. I had a lot of free time, and opportunity to make trips around the farm. I spent many evenings watching sunset from the porch, which I will miss a lot. Thank you!
