Looking for a person who wants to learn about organic farming and live off what the farm can produce. Also someone who wants to stay for a longer period of time. Many different interesting tasks. Everything from caring for nature to harvesting vegetables, berries, sheep and cutting wood. A little fishing for your own use. You live in a small cabin by yourself in quiet surroundings.

Ho trascorso 22 giorni presso la fattoria Sandnes. Sono stati giorni indimenticabili immersa nella meravigliosa natura del fiordo. Terje mi ha insegnato tante cose sul lavoro nell'orto e sulla cura delle sue pecore. Ho alloggiato in una casetta molto suggestiva e confortevole. La famiglia mi ha accolta con gentilezza e attenzione verso le mie esigenze. Un'esperienza che resterà per sempre nel mio cuore.

Eg har kosa meg på Sandnes hos Grete og Terje og sauene. Sida eg har fast jobb søkte eg om å besøke dei to helger på rad. Det er eit stykke å køyre for min del- men er utan tvil vel verdt det. Sandnes farm ligg idyllisk til på Sørbøvågen. Vart tatt imot av hyggelige imøtekommande folk og fikk kjekke oppgåver. Første helg var eg aleine Wwoofer men med familiemedlem og budde begge helg i ei koseleg lite hytta i skogen eit stykke frå gården . Helg nr 2 hadde eg selskap av ein hyggeleg Wwoofer. Det var kjekt! Terje kan mykje om nyttevekster og det delte han raust. Eg har vore med på mykje av det eg hadde lyst å prøve som å sette fiskegarn, og så klart saueklypping! Eg fikk mykje god hjelp, veiledning og oppmuntring langs med. Dei var også rause og eg fekk spiselige gåvar med meg heim frå gården. Reiser gjerne tilbake ved seinare anledning.

The other WWOOFers have already said a lot, but I had a very good stay at the Sandness farm: the surroundings are beautiful and its isolation makes this place very quiet. I appreciated the presence of Terje and Grete, who both showed themselves to be very kind and attentive to make sure I lacked nothing. I was able to taste Norwegian brown cheese (brunost) and skate and sardines caught in the fjord. During my days off, I was able to take a bike and hike around the area, discovering the region a little better. The work itself consisted of feeding the sheep in the morning and in the evening. In the early afternoon, we would cut wood or remove stones from the fields.

I had a wonderful stay with Terje and Grete. Since I was there during the winter, the two main tasks were feeding the 45 sheep every morning (it quickly became a routine) and chopping wood for heating. I even got to try out many different wood-cutting tools that I had never used before! Terje was a great teacher, he knows a lot about Norway, the mountains, the trees, the mushrooms (even the dinosaurs!), and he was patient when I tried new things on the farm (like chopping logs with an axe). Grete didn't work with us outside, but she was also very generous with me : she lent me knitting supplies and gave me yarn so I could knit hats, and she shared her delicious homemade mutton pizza on saturdays! If you come in the heart of winter, like I did, bring warm clothes, even for indoors, as the kitchen reserved for WWOOFers in winter is very cold (but the rest of the house is well heated, and the duvet is very thick). Amidst the magnificent scenery and sheep, I had a wonderful time, I've never slept so well, and I'm very glad I met Terje and Grete.

I stayed at Sandnes Farm from November 2024 to March 2025. In these four months I discovered a whole different way of living and learnt a lot of useful things (e.g.how to work with tools, care for sheeps or bake my own bread). During my stay I slept in the tourist house, which is very spacey and comfortable with everything you need (running water, electricity, your own kitchen/bathroom). Working hours were around six hours a day, six days a week. The work consisted of various tasks everyday but also tasks that became a daily routine like feeding the sheep. Since it was winter, cutting down trees and splitting wood was a frequent task. On days with bad weather we spent time in Terje´s wood workshop to repair or craft things. During my stay we also realised major projects like building a feeding station for the sheeps or clearing a pasture of juniper bushes. Working with Terje was really interesting since he has a lot of knowledge to share about local nature and history and is very passionate about his wood crafting. You´ll get produce from the farm to cook with, which was the best part for me because you could see the result of your work on your plate: The fresh sheep meat after slaughtering, the fresh fish after fishing or homemade applesauce made from apples from the farm. Grete and Terje are really kind people who did everything to make me feel welcome. I really recommend Wwoofing here! Thank you Sandnes Farm for making my first Wwoofing experience so special!
