We are a small group of people running a small farm with many different productions. In winter we have 70 sheep, horses, and 4-5 cows .
We are not vegetarian, sometimes we slaughter animals. We try to maintain the landscape we live in, in a way that gives room to all kind of animal, insects and plants.

Organic methods: Focus on variety on natural terms.
Certifications: We are a mixed group and do not fit in anywhere.
Current projects: We are restoring a stream for irrigation purposes and repairing old houses all year long. In the different seasons we focus on:
- winter: Feeding animals, preparing firewood for the winter, maintaining houses, maybe fixing fish nets
spring: lambing season, gardening (sowing, planting, weeding) , fixing fences
- summer: Hay harvesting, gardening, fishing in the lake
- summer farm: We have some micro tourism with cows, cheesemaking up in the mountains. Here Jan's sister is the boss. Sometimes we work together and our WWOOFers take part in this.
- autumn: Harvesting vegetables and potatoes, processing food (pickling, sauerkraut, chili sauce, meat products) gathering sheep from the mountains,
Everyone on the farm take their turn making dinner.. ( we don´t have a housewife ;-) )
We eat breakfast, lunch and dinner together but sleep in different houses.
How to get here: take the Valdresekspressen (bus) from Oslo Airport or Oslo Bussterminal to Hugavike. We can pick you up at the bus stop. See https://www.nor-way.no/ruter/valdresekspressen/ for the time schedules and purchasing tickets.
