My first experience of being a “wwoofare” and coming to Leikny gave me a very good experience of being a “wwoofare”. Leikny has a long experience of growing organic vegetables and she was very good at sharing her knowledge. I also appreciated Leikny’s written division of labor on the tasks we “wwoofare” would perform every day. Leikny cooked good traditional Norwegian food and she invited us “wwoofrare” to cook our favorite dishes. We ate all meals together and we helped in the kitchen which created a nice community. Leiknys spoke very well of all the “woofrare” who had been with her and everything she had learned from them in terms of cooking and other practical knowledge they had giving her. I recommended Leikny for all who wante to learn about growing organic vegetables and live in a nice community.

What started as six weeks eventually turned into three months – that actually says it all. We had a very varied and educational time with Ann Marlen and Gry. We learned a lot about bees and honey and even got to make our own beeswax candles. We also cut down trees and processed them into firewood, completely rebuilt the interior of a animal shed, drove a tractor, and redesigned the goat enclosure with a new fence – just to name a few of the many activities. Ann Marlen is a very pleasant and exceptionally relaxed person. She trusted us with almost everything without placing high demands on us. This allowed us to try out many things, contribute our own ideas, and broaden our horizons. We enjoyed caring for the animals and I will definately miss playtime with the goats, especially cheeky Melvin. Thank you for the educational time with you.

We had a wonderful stay at Nat and Morten‘s. The two of them welcomed us with open arms, tasty food, inspiring meal introductions before eating togheter, a beautiful home with a magical room, in which we felt safe and warm and lots of good stories! We did prunning for the black curents, could assist the bee-keeping, helped digging a path for the water pipeline, prepared the beds, planted a small amount of parsley and were trusted with the project of building a stair. It was real fun speaking so many different languages! The two of them are really caring, kind and funny :) Thank you guys for hosting us!

I stayed at Njågarden with David for 2.5 weeks and had a really great experience. I truly enjoyed my time there and would definitely recommend it to others. The working hours were fair and well balanced, and there was a lot of flexibility through communication and mutual agreement, which made the stay feel comfortable and relaxed. During my time there I learned a lot about farm life, the forest, daily routines, and the work involved on a Norwegian farm. The surroundings are beautiful, with many great places nearby for walking, hiking, or running. It is also a good location if you would like to visit Stavanger, Preikestolen, and other scenic spots in the area. One thing to keep in mind is that there can be quite a lot of alone time, so it helps if you are comfortable being independent and enjoying your own company. For me, that was completely fine and part of the experience. Overall, I had a very positive stay and I’m grateful for the experience. Thank you, David!

We had our first wwoof experience at the farm of Veslemøy and Bjørn where we stayed for over 6 weeks. And we really enjoyed it! They’re very friendly, warm hearted and open minded. Who were very relaxed and flexible. They love to share their knowledge, things and time with you. On working days we got tasks to do, where we spent approximately 4h time on per person. But it was more important that the task was done instead of the actual time. This was ideal with the kids, because it didn’t matter either when we needed more time. Tasks we had were; Animal care, taking care of baby goats and sheep, milking, putting up fences, drive their products for delivery to Oslo and tidy things up in and around the farm. We really liked the work and even spend time on the farm in our day’s off The farm is beautiful located, with an amazing view at the lake and mountains. We were accommodated I a fully equipped house a 10 minute walk from the farm. Which you share with others. There was a lot of space and a garden where the kids loved to play. The house needed some cleaning (you our standard) when we arrived, but that truly has to do with other wwoofers living there. We had the inconvenience that the power and water system stopped. But with some creativity we worked around it, and usually it got fixed. Groceries were supplied each week. And we loved to bake our own sourdough bread. We’re very grateful and love to come back!! (We travelled with a 4 and 1,5 year old)
