Hi!
Welcome to our beautiful Øverland farm situated in Bærum, only 13 km from the city center of Oslo.
We are the first CSA-farm (Community Supported Agriculture) in Norway founded in 2006.
We have a charming “storehouse” (Stabbur) with all modern facilities (water, electricity, shower, wifi, cooking, clothes washing facilities etc) located on the farm itself for accommodation offering short or long term stays.
On a day to day basis wwoofers work will mainly consist of sowing, planting, digging, watering, weeding, harvesting and some sorting and packing of vegetables. You will be working alongside our team of 3-4 gardeners and sometimes together with the shareholders when they come by to contribute on the farm.
Here at Øverland farm we are pioneering a solid and flourishing community connecting farmers, members and consumers, promoting direct knowledge from our permanently employed farmers and gardeners, from production to consumption of organic produce.
We have more than 300 shareholders and still growing, a versatile, knowledgeable and generous community all enjoying in the delights and importance of organically and locally produced food. Many of our shareholders have been with us since the beginning of the farm and are passionate experts on different topics. They willingly and generously share their knowledge about wild edible plants and flowers, fermenting of vegetables, mushrooms and composting, just to mention a few topics.
Our land is 5 hectars with production of vegetables, a large berry & fruit orchard, herb garden, hen house and 4 large green houses.
Diversity is high with around 100 different species of vegetables, fruits and berries, including walnuts and grapes.
We also keep around 10-20 chickens and 3 bee heaves.
Øverland farm has easy access to both city and nature. Beautifully located high on a peaceful hill surrounded by open fields and forests with a panoramic view of the lush mountains and glittering blue fjords, only 20 min drive to Oslo – 40 min by bicycle. Nearest village is Bekkestua 10 min walk with all facilities.
We are looking forward to meet you!
Welcome 😊
