Family farm
Trøndelag
We are looking for help with the farm and our animals. We have a diverse and small farm with different animals such as cows, sheep, horses, pigs, ducks, some chickens, rabbits and 2 dogs.
The daily work with is around 5-6 hours per day. You have to be able to work independently. Can be possible for people who need farm practice such as veterinary-students or if u like to learn about livestock and General small-scale farming. In the spring we also might have puppies which needs attention socializing, could possibly also mean sharing home with cute puppies.
For extended stays at our farm the 4 first weeks will be a trial periode.
Our farm is around 10 hectares with grassland, 7 hectares of pastures for the animals, and 190 hectares of woodland. We use organic compost and natural manure. We welcome WWOOFers the whole year . We have 9 cows and their calves, 3 sows with piglets that are free range on the fields and in the forest.
We also have 15 sheep and lambs which we need help with to observe them and maintain their fences. We keep around 20 chickens to produce eggs and need help to look after the chickens and collect the eggs. Also some few geese and ducks which need to be let out every morning and inside every evening. In addition we also have some rabbits.
We have a cosy cabin for WWOOFers to use with a kitchen, bathroom with a hot shower, toilet, washing machine and clean drinkable tap water. There are 2 beds in the bedroom (1 double and 1 single bed).
We use mostly organic food when making meals. Some meals will be prepared and eaten together with us, some meals you will prepare yourself with the food we provide. There will be from 1 to 3 WWOOFers at the farm at the same time, some times up to 4. Tasks/activities can be with animals - feeding and observing and some fencing. If we have time left we will work in forest, removing brushes and making new pastures for the animals. Their could also be other types of work for example painting, maintenance and tending to the plants in the garden and vegetable field (transplanting, burning weeds, weeding and harvesting), depending on the season.
The activities will be up to 5-6 hours, 5 days a week. We do not accept the use of drugs. Social drinking in moderation is allowed. We have a beautiful view surrounding the farm which we would like to share with you. If you are interested in staying with us please send a message.
Welcome, we look forward to meet you!

Ole and James are warm hearted and incredibly welcoming people who made us feel at home right away on the farm. They truly care about the wellbeing of the WWOOFers.
The animals are all very friendly, and Ole always came up with new and exciting activities for us each day. We will never forget the sled rides into the woods and the cozy campfires :))
And of course the delicious organic food from the farm was amazing!
Thank you both so much for everything!
Greetings,
Sibylle and Lotta

It was one of my most beautiful experiences and I come back with my head filled with memories. Ole and James are wonderful people, who really love their animals and who like to share. I had an unforgettable stay by their side and alongside their animals, which I am not ready to forget ! Thank you very much for everything and I hope to have the opportunity to come back to see you one day :). I can only recommend you to try the experience by their side with your eyes closed and that you will not regret it !

I had two great weeks on your farm! Ole and James are very nice and I liked the responsibility to care for all the different lovely animals. I had my own cozy little house and the view and all the snow were great. I will always remember the sledging with the horses and the sheep at the viking party. Thank you:))

Nous avons passé 1 semaine et demi en automne chez Ole et James. Ce fut une magnifique expérience pour nous. Les missions sont variées, on ne s’ennuyait jamais! Cela nous a permis de sortir de notre zone de confort. Ils ont été tellement gentils et accueillants. Nous avons aimé tout nos moments passés chez eux. Nous espérons y retourner un jour !

I had a great time at Lysklæt, they were able to host me very last minute and were very welcoming. The farm is beautiful and a lot of care and knowledge has gone into it. The work was interesting and varied, and often you have to work independently.
They were welcoming and kind, and I hope to be able to come back for a proper stay.

Beautiful farm, me and my friend loved it there. Felt like a second home 😊. Ole and James are the nicest people and we loved to listen to their stories. We will definitely come back if we have another chance!
