Hi!
I'm Heidi (35) and I live full time on the farm together with my husband (34) and our baby. My mother (59) who lives close by runs the farm with us. We are on our fifth year of living here. The farm house was originally built in the 1850-1880s and is located in a village that is traced back to the stone age. You can visit historical burial mounds and sacred sites from the bronze and iron age withing walking distance from the farm.
We chose to move here to be close to the wild of nature, to keep heritage sheep and to preserve old wisdom of stewarding land as well as (slowly but surely) incorporating new, modern ways of thinking.
The farm is certified organic through Debio. We are enthusiastic about animal welfare and no-till farming, and work to incorporate elements of permaculture design. We would love to learn from you!
We have 27 sheep, 10 ducks, and plan to get chickens again once we have built a new chicken coup. The animals live outside all year, but have access to the barn in winter.
Sheep meat and skins are for sale. We may slaughter on site for our own use, both sheep and birds. We forage berries and mushrooms in the forest, as well as herbs. Local hunters hunt deer for us so we are basically sustained on meat. In the spring and summer we fish in the sea.
The nature and weather conditions can be rough, but it definitely makes you feel alive! Eagles, foxes,wild birds, deer, seals, otters can all be spotted regularly.
If you brave the cold you are welcome to take a dip from our beach, or enjoy hikes along the coast or in the mountains that surround us. The beach is also a popular spot for wind surfing.
Woofing has been important experiences for me personally and I would love to be able to give back to this community as a host and hopefully keep learning together. We will try to accomodate your wishes when it comes to the work you would like to do, however this is very dependent on the season so please show understanding for that.
Potential tasks:
- duck feeding and duck house cleaning
- sheep feeding and caring
- lambing : check-ups on ewes and lambs, observations, feeding +++
- looking after sheep on the pasture
- moving sheep between pastures
- pruning, weeding, sowing, planting, cutting etc in veggie gardens
- pond digging for ducks
- chopping firewood
- harvesting hay by traditional methods (July)
- assisting in sheep shearing (may-June )
- wool work; sorting wool, combing, etc.
- fence maintenance (March-April)
- lauvving (harvesting branches/leaves) (May-June)
- canning, fermenting, making jams,butchering ++ (August-September)
We love all crafts and homesteading skills, and can teach you knitting, crocheting, weaving on peg loom, drop spindle, felting wool rugs ++ if you are interested in such. (And if there is time - likely not in July😆)
2026: Extra projects: Building a shed/small garage, possibly putting up a greenhouse. Would love to host a wwoofer with interest in gardening as we plan ondoing quite a bit of work in the garden this spring (2026).
Woofers are expected to be respectful, tidy and keep the spaces clean . We have one bedroom that can accomodate for 2-4 woofers (2 big beds). Bathroom will be shared. We will provide 3 meals a day and will ask that you help prepare these some days.
There will not necessarily be fixed work hours but you will be given tasks to complete. Woofers must be genuinely interested in taking part in the farm lifestyle and we will make weekly and day-to-day plans. Flexibility is not only appreciated but essential for the farm to function well.
Soo are you interested in assisting a chatty family in rural Norway with gardening, animal husbandry and small building projects, all while soaking in amazing mountain views, as you eat home-made waffles and listen to the sound of the ocean...?
💚 WELCOME TO MIDTBØ! 💚
