My stay at Eventyrhagen was amazing! It was my first Wwoofing experience and Linda, Chris Robin and the kids welcomed me at their home in such a warm and open way. They treated me like a family member. Working hours were very flexible and we had some fun family time over easter and I also had enough time for myself. We had great and fun conversations during the day and in the evenings and they taught me so much about organic farming, planting vegetables and flower and chickens. The kids were also lots of fun which made my stay special! I would recommend this farm to everyone who wants to learn a lot and be a part of their home, which they made to an awesome place for people, plants and animals to live!! I would stay their again!
Tusen Takk Linda and Chris Robin!! Thanks for everything it was amazing!

Ce fut notre tout premier wwoofing et nous sommes ravis de nos trois semaines passées dans la superbe ferme bio de Chris Robin et Linda.
À notre arrivée, nous nous sommes instantanément sentis comme chez nous grâce à leur accueil chaleureux.
Durant notre séjour, nous avons pu toucher à tout, aussi bien dans la ferme (animaux, serres, récoltes, préparation des sols pour la culture, aménagement d’abris pour les canards, une journée au marché…) que dans la cuisine (préparation de cookies, de pains, de pizzas, de savons, de repas…).
Ces tâches diverses et variées nous ont permis de comprendre comment fonctionne la ferme de Chris Robin et Linda, de découvrir leur quotidien et de nous rendre compte du mérite et du courage qu’ils ont d’entreprendre un tel projet.
Nous avons également passé du temps à jouer à des jeux de société avec leurs deux petites filles.
Entourés de forêts et de rivières, le cadre de vie et de travail est tout simplement fabuleux.
Pour résumer, ce sont de très belles personnes, un cadre de vie magnifique, un projet remarquable, une ambiance chaleureuse… C’est pourquoi nous recommandons très fortement la ferme de Chris Robin et Linda.
Merci à vous quatre pour ces trois semaines, nous vous sommes extrêmement reconnaissants et ne sommes pas prêts d’oublier cette expérience humainement enrichissante.
Nous vous souhaitons le meilleur pour la suite et, qui sait, à bientôt peut-être ?
Tusen Takk!

We had an amazing stay with Linda & Robin as wwoofers!
During our time there, we had the chance to take part in many different activities: planting, harvesting vegetables from the garden, taking care of the animals (especially the quails), building shelters for plants and animals, making handmade soaps, and also baking. We baked bread, cookies, pasta, and other treats to sell at the local markets, a great opportunity to experience local life.
The atmosphere was warm, kind, and friendly, they are great teachers. The setting was beautiful, and the days were well-paced without being stressful. We really appreciated the trust they placed in us, the variety of tasks, and the family-style exchanges. It was a truly well-rounded experience that allowed us to learn so much, both practically and personally.
A big thank you for their warm welcome, generosity, and passion.
We recommend this experience at 100%.
Tusen takk! :)

I was fortunate enough to be the 1st wwofer at this beautiful farm. I have really enjoyed my stay there. The Chris and Linda were such a good couple, simple, down to earth, and kind. They treated me like their own family member. I had the opportunity to learn how they are changing the mainstream farming practices to back to the traditional, organic and sustainable that suits better the environment. Surprise to discover their grit to convert mountainous terrain into their a fertile place by proper staircase bed fields. They were really chill with working hours and evenings were free almost every day. Both little kids Hanne and Lille made my stay full of smiles, and also taught me some fun games along the way. Chris and Linda really made sure i feel like home and took really good care of me. I would definitely recommend this farm to anyone who wants to learn about organic farming in the deep countryside surrounded with mountains and rivers.
