WWOOF'ING AT NERVANG

We applied for membership in WWOOF in autumn 2007 and have after this had loads and loads of great experiences here with all the wwoofers that have visited us over the years! Our WWOOF-host id is NOR032. We are Henriette, Vemund, our little son Einar Egil, the dogs Julian and Carola and the cat Ozzy. Welcome to visit us as wwoofers!

The WWOOFING season of 2012:

We are 2 adults (Henriette and Vemund), our little son of aprox. two years (Einar Egil), the dogs Julian and Carola, the cat Ozzy, plus a few pigs, chickens and bees. We live on our farm Nervang in the village of Gravberget, deep inside the forest called the Finnish Forest, located in the south-east of Norway. It's a very beutiful and peaceful forest location with lovely walks, a lake for swimming and a great place to get away from it all! :)

We are in our sixth season of accpeting wwoofers, and have so far had loads of great experiences with welcoming wwoofers to our home!

This year, work will as always be very varied and will differ through the season. There will be planting weeding, woodchopping, painting, harvesting, carpentry, tending chickens and pigs, some beekeeping for those who want and loads of other things that pop up along the way! :) We are also planning to renovate the old room used for animals in our barn to accomodate about 100-150 chickens. In the autumn we will need help in processing a pig as well.

We usually work between 6 and 8 hours, 5 days a week. As we have other part-time jobs on the side, wwoofers will be working on their own for quite a lot of the time and need to be selfreliant in their work. Sleeping accomodation is shared in the Nervang Wilderness Hostel (the wooden lavos situated on the farm), about 50 metres from the house. There might also be backpackers staying in the lavos while wwoofers are at the farm, although few travellers find their way as far into the forest as this... :) But except when sleeping, we hope that wwoofers staying with us want to share our life in the house! :)

We have free internet and laundry on the farm.

We accept wwoofers from April to October.

You should like dogs if you want to come and wwoof with us! :) :) :)
