Smallholding with horses, chickens, cats, sheep, herbs and some vegetables surrounded by forest and open farmland. At this farm we enjoy the effects of combining intellectual work with physical - keeping nature as the source of inspiration. The main focus at the farm is to develop a sustainable and holistic environment for horses, animals and people. I am running the farm at the same time as being associate professor in the field of cultural history at the University of Oslo. Viking and Medieval art, literature and religion is my expertise, as well as people and plant/animal relations from the viking age and beyond. My partner is a scholar at the University in Oslo, and well experienced in carpentry, masonry and forest work. On the farm we bring past practices and old traditions to life in various spectras of the farm; from harvesting fodder and herbs, to horse training. All parts of the farmlife are toughtfully integrated. Work is dependent on season: fencing, harvesting leaves, maintenance, construction work, garden work, horse and animal care. Accommodation in a guest room in a house with shared bathroom and kitchen, or cabin (also with shared bathroom and kitchen).
