I want to share my little nice farm with others that want to live their life close to nature, producing their own food, making their footprints as small as possible. Surrounded by the most amazing nature with high mountains and the fjord, the location is perfect for hiking in the leisure time and you always have a nice view to rest your eyes on, while working. Building up the farm, there is plenty of work to do.
At the time I have 15 sheep, old Norwegian breed and two cats. I also have 5 chickens. Two icelandic horses keep house in the stable. I grow vegetables, herbs and berries. I also collect wild herbs for making teas etc.
I'm experimenting with different ways of cultivating, making different kinds of composts, using bokashi, mulching, hugelculture; trying to make the soil as fertile and alive as possible.
