Once again, thank you to Marlinn, Henrik, and the kiddos. My time at the farm was life changing I would say! This family is so very special and so accommodating. They are incredibly fair with the tasks and will made the extra effort to make sure I was comfortable which was very kind. I got a glimpse at both the beauties and the hardships of farm life. Connecting with the animals was one of my favorite parts and exploring the nature. Farm life is not always pretty! I found the work fulfilling and never found myself hungry (and I am quite often hungry) I will always carry this with me!

Henrik and Marlin were great hosts! The place itself is what really stood out ,a fantastic location and such a lovely space to stay in. Overall a wonderful experience, and we'd definitely recommend it, especially for the spot itself! We'd recommend doing the walking routes around the farm, and if possible, driving or taking the bus to Pulpit Rock. Don't miss hiking up to the Alvanuten cabin in Aksdal for sunset either (well worth the climb)
