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!

I stayed here two too short weeks during the end of lambing season. Tasks were feeding and giving water to the sheeps, giving bottles to the lambs (😍) and helping to take them in the wood - I enjoyed every single task! Pål made sure we felt at home - also with my vegetarian belongings - and to meet new people from the same country or with same interestes! During my time I got to learn much about sheeps and general farm work. Spending time with their 4 dogs and being surrounded by so beautiful nature was so nice! Thanks for everything again!

My experience at the farm was incredible—one of the most enriching of my life. I learned so much, immersed myself in Norwegian culture, adopted new habits, and enjoyed the peace of its breathtaking landscapes. Above all, the farm, Brit, their family, and friends showed me unparalleled kindness, always supporting me, especially when I needed it most. The four dogs—Love, Lucas, Cris, and Illow—brought daily joy, and working with the adorable sheep, from feeding them to organizing their day, was unforgettable. Thank you, the farm, for everything!

I had a great experience with Pål, Britt, their family and friends (and the dogs, of course!). They were welcoming from day one. The farm is in an incredible location, and they are very experienced in their work. I learned a lot about Norwegian farms and culture. We had many interesting and fun conversations. Even though it wasn't the high season for sheep tasks, I interacted with them. Pål took me to see the harvest and other activities, going the extra mile to ensure a great experience. Thank you so much! I hope to come back sometime!

This was my first work and travel experience, and it couldn't have been any better! Pål, Britt and Ole Marius (and their super cute dogs!) made me feel welcome from day one. Super supportive, accomodating and always fun to chat with - even about my vegetarian quirks! :) My primary responsibilities included feeding sheep and lambs, and occasional other tasks, such as, inter alia, putting up fences, shearing, and moving sheep. And the surrounding breathtakingly beautiful nature is definitely a plus! I really loved every single moment of my little adventure here in Norway - tusen takk!
