This is not tourist volunteering. You will be part of the daily workflow of the farm, helping with real tasks
that need to be done. Along the way, you will naturally learn how everyday farm and property work is handled
in Norway, with guidance and clear instructions when needed.
Some days are more repetitive, others more varied — just like real farm life.
Our farm is located in Fetsund, near Oslo, surrounded by forest and river landscapes. It is a working grain farm combined with maintenance and improvement projects.
There is no livestock. Guests stay in their own accommodation and become part of everyday rural life here.
We usually host one or two guests at a time, so training and supervision stay personal.
Most work is outdoors and can be physically active, so a reasonable level of fitness is helpful.
Tasks vary with the season and what needs to be done on the farm. You will mainly be helping with practical, hands-on work and learning by doing as part of the daily routine.
We expect guests to be responsible, on time, and willing to learn.
Days follow a simple rhythm, with time for both work and rest. Exact tasks and timing can change depending on duties and weather.
We usually eat simple home-style meals together after work. Please note that we cannot provide special dietary meals (such as vegetarian, vegan, halal or kosher), and we normally eat a regular mixed diet.
Evenings are usually free, but on some days there may be work depending on what needs to be done and what we agree on. Weekends are normally free, but this also depends on agreement.
Working guests stay in private rooms in flats located on the farm, each with its own bathroom. This gives you your own personal space while still being close to daily farm life.
Stay: 2–6 months · Location: Fetsund, near Oslo, Norway
This stay is best suited for people who are comfortable with simple living, outdoor work and shared daily routines.
We mainly host working guests from spring to autumn, when there is more outdoor and farm work. However, we can also accept guests at other times of the year depending on current work and projects.
From Oslo Central Station it takes about 30–40 minutes by train or bus. From Oslo Airport (Gardermoen) take a train to Lillestrøm Station (10–15 minutes) — we can pick you up from there.
