Stein is a great host!! He’s very welcoming and an expert in his craft. If you have any questions to ask him about Norway, customs, agriculture, cheese making, or anything else, just ask. Stein is a great conversationalist and embodies what it means to be a WWOOF host. My time was in late October to November. I helped clean the barn, a twice daily event, went fishing, hiking, went to market with him, and more. He has a good sense of humor too! If you’re looking for a barn on a fjord, this is your spot

Jan and Tanaquil, Thank you so much for this wonderful month at Sparstad, it was a very special experience for us! It was amazing to learn about your way of life and how you take care of your animals…it’s truly admirable! We really enjoyed being part of the sheep routine and helping out with the tasks you gave us. It was such a lovely time :) and we were able to learn so many interesting things. You live in an incredible place, surrounded by mountains and with a spectacular lake! (Highly recommended to take a daily plunge!). There are also so many things to do on your days off… We’re leaving with many lessons learned and wonderful memories that we’ll carry with us forever! We also want to thank Katti for giving us the chance to milk the beautiful cows and showing us how she makes her amazing butter! It was such a fun experience! The accommodation is in a house for WWOOFers, perfectly equipped and very comfortable! As for the meals, they are always hearty and made with delicious ingredients and accompanied by great conversations! Thank you, Jan, for your good sense of humor, your great patience when teaching and all the good moments, we truly admire your attitude and way of looking at life! We wish you all the best, and it was a real pleasure to share this time with you :) Los chilenos

Fantastic experience on a farm filled with good vibes and diversity. The staff are very kind and welcoming, and the tasks are varied. The shared accommodation with other WWOOFers is very pleasant, and the food is provided in both quantity and quality. I would recommend it 100%! Thank's for good time !

My time at Valla gård has been such an amazing experience! I’ve spend there three weeks (September-October). Mads is a cool host, who created a relaxed atmosphere. It was so much fun spending time at his house. He cares a lot about us feeling safe and well supplied, even though we didn’t really got to see him during the last week, which was also a bit chaotic sometimes ;) Moreover, I want to thank the other Wwoofers, who have been there during this time: Oscar, Marie and Jonathan. They made my stay somehow more familiar. You guys are great! <3 It was cool, learning how to milk cows and the work with the animals was really enriching. The landscape is breathtaking and we marveled the northern lights each evening in the first two weeks. It was a great opportunity to get to know new people, to learn new techniques and to grow personally through it. It has been amazing three weeks! I would definitely recommend it! Thank you, Mads! And thank you all!

It was our first time woofing and we couldn't ask better! Veslemoy and Bjorn are very welcoming, and the farm itself is beautiful and surrounded by nature. We mainly helped cleaning, building the new fence and sometimes packing yogurt and cheese. If you want to learn something in particular they are down to explain and teach you everything. There was also the possibility to milk goats and sheeps but we didn't do it that much. We were not alone, as we shared the guesthouse with 3 other woofers. We hope to come back someday :)
