The Experience

We are looking for a strong and hard-working man/woman who would like to take care of our sheep. Among other things, cleaning out the stable and building new fences and boxes. Maybe also a little gardening, tending to the beds. Felling trees, chopping wood. Everything that is important on a farm :) We are a German family (45,53 and 6) and speak German at home. If required, also English and Norwegian. We are NOT vegetarians.

If you enjoy solitude in nature, as well as independently working outdoors on your own set schedule, then this is the place to be. The fence-building was overall satisfying work & felt pretty productive. The location feels fairly remote, closer to the middle of nowhere than not, with some very scenic views, so a good peaceful place for introspection & quiet nights. Was also cool to be able to interact a bit with some of the sheep. Really enjoyed bonding with Doreen over our shared music taste & discussions about life! The 2 household doggies were also very sweet & made for good company. Danke!
