I invite four wwoofers to my small farm, Skarstein gard in beautiful Kandal in Nordfjord. This is a valley on the western side of Norway. Some of the farmers in this steep valley have goats and sheep. I have puppies! ..and a large garden with fruits, berries and herbs which is in the making. Another task on the farm is to rescue a very old barn in the mountains where we used to spend summers with our goats . So if you are interested in gardening and carpentry, we will have some active weeks together! Sparetime activities: fishing, hiking, boating. Accomodations: your own guesthouse with two separate bedrooms, livingroom, kitchen and bathroom. Shared meals in the main house on the farm. Welcome! Here is a video made by a wwoofer the summer of 2022: https://youtu.be/Sav_OWMeqh8 Certifications: Permaculture

I had the most lovely magical time with Astrid. She was so welcoming, made delicious food, and offered such a warm and welcoming home to all the woofers there at the same time as me. I was only able to come for one week but I am hoping to come back for a longer period ! :)

I had an amazing time with Astrid! She is a wonderful person, full of energy and enthusiasm! An inspiration, I am in awe of all she can do! She is able to generate a real sense of group around her, with her trusty sidekick Faye. The work is varied and we eat together (lovely meals) and then can spend the afternoon and weekend doing one of the many hikes in this beautiful area. I highly recommend it, one of my best wooffing experiences☺️

Astrid is an amazing host! The scenery is gorgeous. Plenty of time to explore and hang out after work. There were lots of other work away-er’s and everyone got along great. Wish we could’ve stayed longer!

My time at Astrid's farm was wonderful! We did some work in the garden, cutting the plants, sorting potatoes and bringing dirt from one place to another. Astrid was open to a lot of our input and helped also with possibilities of fun things to do in the neighbourhood. We went dancing with the neighbour, saw the local gym and did a hike in a valley nearby. There was a lot of free time, possibilities to go for a swim, a hike or use some of the instruments that Astrid has for Wwoofers. Astrid herself is a very warm and welcoming person, tells a lot of stories and a great cook. I could really recommend going to her farm, maybe she will take you to the Lofoten or Oslo as well.

To Astrid and anyone that reads that: I had two wonderful weeks in Skarstein Gard. The open arms of Astrid welcomed me from the very first moment. The daily business, the house and barn, the work on the farm and everything around was pure joy. Everyday was different and we had fun and lots of laughter. It didn't feel like hard work, because the harmony in this place is just amazing. I can not wait to be back and I hope it will be soon! Dear Astrid, thank you for everything! You are the best WWOOF-host I could ever imagine. Many hugs, Anna

Hatt 4 fantastisk uker på Skarstein, mye frihet til å gjøre og holde litt på som man ønsker og evner. En nydelig vert man alltid lett kan ta å snakke ordentlig med
