Live and learn on organic farms in Norway

What is WWOOF®?

Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms (WWOOF) links visitors with organic farmers, promotes an educational and cultural exchange and builds a global community conscious of ecological farming practices.

WWOOF was founded in 1971 and is one of the world’s first educational and cultural exchange programs. Today, WWOOF is in more than 132 countries around the world (and growing).

This was my first WWOOF experience and I felt very welcomed by Elise and the whole family. Good communication before and during the stay, and explanations on how to do things. It's a very nice atmosphere on the farm where nature, animals and people are respected and taken good care of. I can recommend a stay here! Takk for at dere tok så meg så godt imot på det som ha vært årets varmeste dag, håper vi ses igjen!

For my first experience as a WWOOFer, it was amazing. Trudd and her daughters, Tom, and Mika were all very kind throughout the two weeks, and we shared many great meals (Trudd is an excellent cook!!!). Tangenes is a truly beautiful place where I had the chance to do many different tasks and learn more about Norwegian culture. I helped take care of the sheep, worked in the garden, and helped maintain the landscape. A big thank you again to Trudd and Tom for their warm welcome. I highly recommend this farm and hope I can come back one day.

It´s a beautiful and welcoming place at Sparstad with a real WWOOFer atmosphere as we were four WWOOFers from different countries. I aprriciated a lot that they gave me a chance to come over with my six year old daughter and be a part of the community. Open and warm house, stunning landscape and a lot of interesting stories to listen to. Thank you for the experience!

I had an amazing time with Astrid! She is a wonderful person, full of energy and enthusiasm! An inspiration, I am in awe of all she can do! She is able to generate a real sense of group around her, with her trusty sidekick Faye. The work is varied and we eat together (lovely meals) and then can spend the afternoon and weekend doing one of the many hikes in this beautiful area. I highly recommend it, one of my best wooffing experiences☺️

Probably the best weeks of my summer. A lot of heart, fun, and experiences, colourful skys, breathtaking nature, elks, and seclusion, good food, weeds, cute little chickens, and lovely people. Tusen takk! 🚣🚣🚣

So sad to leave this beautiful and quiet place, and happy to have lived such an incredible experience, full of good moments. I came here to learn new things, and I learned more than I expected: how to milk cows, how to repair a pump to have water in the house, how to make crème fraîche, how to make butter… I leave this place with a lot of new skills. Skills that I will keep for life and that I will be happy to share with others. Jan, Tanaquil and Katarina, I really appreciate your way of living, your kidness and your way of teaching. I would love to come back one day if you would like to welcome me again. It was a real pleasure to spend time on your farm. Tusen takk 🫶

Ich hatte eine sehr schöne Zeit bei Kristin und Morten, sie sind sehr zugewandt, freundlich, offen und versuchen alles möglich zu machen, damit es der Wwoofer*in gut geht. Die Arbeitszeiten sind flexibel und man kann es sehr gut schaffen. Die Aufgaben sind auch in verschiedenen Bereichen, Haus, Hof und Garten. Die Unterbringung ist einfach zauberhaft und die Katzen auch. Gern wird auch etwas vom Land gezeigt, das war besonders toll. Ich habe mich sehr aufgehoben und gebraucht gefühlt. Gern wieder!

We got to spend three weeks at the farm and we had a great time there! Robin and Louise were incredibly kind to us, they took good care of us and we felt very welcome and at home. We shared many (typical Norwegian) meals with the family and we learned lots of new things. We learned about taking care of the animals, about gardening, wood chopping, Norway, and farm life in general. Robin and Louise encouraged us and gave us more than enough time to do fun activities around the area and they even helped us with planning and organising two weekend trips to the mountains. Thank you for the great time we had, we feel so lucky that we found such a nice family and beautiful area to stay at!

I had the best time at Neslegården. Camilla is very welcoming and kindhearted. You feel part of a little community with all the people living on the farm. Everyone is doing there own things but we meet for lunch and dinner and they are available every time you need help :)) Camilla's children are also great help on the farm, I learned (and laughed) a lot with them! I worked with the other woofers on daily tasks (cutting grass, taking care of the chickens) and we also built a new porche for the caravane! As a woofer, you will have the freedom to suggest new ideas for the farm and you will receive help from Camilla and the other to implement them! Beside work, you can enjoy a daily swim in the lake, board games (lots of Catan), music instruments (with Camilla) and hikes on the WE!

It was our first WWOOFing experience, and we spent two incredible weeks at David's farm. We discovered what it's like to work on a farm: weeding, taking care of the cows (milking them and feeding the calves), and packing wood. Every day was different, so we never had time to get bored. :) David was very kind, and we had dinner together every evening. We also had plenty of free time, which allowed us to visit Stavanger, hike to Preikestolen, go to the beach, and explore many other beautiful places not far from the farm. David kindly let us use a car, which made it much easier to get around. He also adapted the working hours depending on the weather and gave us great recommendations for places to visit. Thanks again to David!

Lene and Ingar are two of the most kind people I got to meet. I enjoyed my two weeks at their little farm very much. In the first days I learned a lot about organic farming and gardening, and later got the chance to learn the art of pottery from Ingar. If we weren't building a compost lasagne or turning and bringing in the hay, Lene and I spend the days cooking and backing in the kitchen or harvesting vegetables, herbs and a lot of strawberries. She showed me how to make kombutcha, cinnamon buns with sourdough and more, and also to drive the little old tractor. :) In my free time I went down to the river, hiked up the mountain and played on Ingar's guitar. Their calm and slow self-sufficient lifestyle inspired me very much and I leave them with a full heart and a bag full of new recipes, ideas and dreams. I really hope to come back some year!

I stayed at Stølen for three weeks with a friend for our first wwoofing experience and I couldn't have asked for a better place! Jovana and Simon made us feel truly welcome in the family, including us in household activities, games and trips. I would also often find myself looking forward to dinner for the chamce to chat and spend time with the boys too. I feel very lucky for the time I got to spend with Benjamin, and it was very funny (but very chaotic) to play card games and ping pong with Isaak and Johann! Both Simon and Jovana proved to be exceptional teachers, showing us all the steps of their jobs with a lot of care and patience. From the beginning, I felt trusted to be able to carry out tasks, but also reminded that sometimes mistakes happen (and that that's ok too!). Working with the goats has been very special to me, as well as taking care of the chickens, and I loved the more quiet hours spent in the cheesary. As a first time wwoofer, I was a bit worried about how the schedule and free time would be arranged, but Jovana and Simon really showed care in trying to respect as much as possible the working hours and to make sure we were having enough free time. At the same time, the work is so various and enjoyable that even on free days I would be itching for something to do! As I'm very passionate about nature, Stølen was the perfect place for me, surrounded by gorgeous scenaries and places to explore, both by bike on the coast and through hikes in the forests and f...
