My stay at Hurdal Gjestegård was absolutely fantastic! Andrew completely respects the WWOOFer's working hours and puts a lot of effort into mixing up the daily chores, so you never feel stuck doing the exact same thing over and over again. He genuinely cares about your well-being and checks in multiple times a day just to make sure you are truly happy, comfortable, and that everything is okay. :) Fair warning: do NOT come to Hurdal Gjestegård if you want to avoid learning new things, because it is physically impossible to leave this place without a head full of incredible knowledge and reflections! :D I learned so much during my stay. The communication with the hosts is wonderfully easy and natural. With Andrew, there is no such thing as a "stupid question" and he gladly answers everything and shares his profound experience and philosophy with a huge smile on his face Everything is super well-organized and always on time (especially the meal hours) The hosts are incredibly fair and expect exactly what is reasonable and agreed upon, no more, no less. While the daily work is primarily focused on Andrew's beautiful orchard and sometimes the tasks also include helping out around the house or giving a hand in Malin's lovely garden. Every single task was super enjoyable and rewarding. I even had a chance to plant some trees! :) I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a meaningful, educational, and simply wonderful WWOOFing experience!

An unforgettable stay with Daniel and Daphné, along with Johanna, Kari, Lambert and the joyful Myrtha! A thousand thanks: For sharing with us your simple way of life, in harmony with your surroundings and nature, For all those enriching exchanges and conversations about traditions, the history of different peoples, music, medicinal plants, and so on. For letting us help with the haymaking with the horses. One of Félix’s greatest dreams, now come true! For your big hearts and for the children, who were so enthusiastic, open-minded and full of humour! See you soon (we’re waiting for you to help organise the workshop!). And we won’t forget the willows in all their colours. Christine, Johann and Félix

Spent my summer break of three weeks here and had an absolute blast! Esther is a very kind and caring person who lives for her work. She loves to experiment with cooking and it is always worth it. I had lots of time to cuddle the sheep (and also sometimes wrestle them) and the work was very enjoyable. There are lots of big projects coming up on the farm. I spent my free time with the other two Wwoofers, we went to the lake almost daily to swim, fish and play volleyball. We also spent a weekend in Oslo together. I was really sad to leave and if given the chance i would love to visit again.

Thanks to Helene and Øystein’s sincere desire to introduce us to Norwegian culture and share it with us, our stay was a wonderful experience and an opportunity for many meaningful exchanges. We participated in picking mushrooms and berries, harvested seaweed for the vegetable garden (especially for asparagus!), took part in maintenance work on farm buildings, tended the apple trees, fished and cooked! We also got to meet their sheep and discover their beautiful wool. All this took place in a warm, peaceful and family-like atmosphere. We have very fond memories of theses moments spent in your company and the three wonderful children. A huge thank you for your generosity! We hope all your many projects come true! See you soon in Norway – or who knows, perhaps in France !
