Looking for a helping hand on a small farm by the fjord

We’re Samuel and Rena – living on a small farm in Vevring, Sunnfjord, right by the Førdefjorden.
Over the past years we’ve been restoring old farm buildings and slowly building the foundation for a future creative and sustainable place, combining traditional craftsmanship, nature, and rural life.

Right now, we’re looking for one or two practical, skilled people who enjoy working with their hands and would like to help us move things forward.

We need more help and like to invite you!

What we’re working on

 

  • Restoring and maintaining old wooden buildings
  • painting, light carpentry, repairs, upgrades etc.
  • We are cleaning out and organising spaces for renovations
  • General farm maintenance, outdoor work, forestry
  • Garden and greenhouse tasks – grow our own food
  • Prepping spaces for workshops (ceramics & woodturning)
  • Care taking of our animals (ducks, chickens in the future)
  • Restoring a 15 foot boat
  • And loads of other “small” things…

Who we’re looking for

  • Someone who is comfortable working independently
  • Practical skills is a must (carpentry, painting, maintenance, farming, gardening)
  • You don’t need to know everything, but you know when to ask
  • You enjoy rural life, nature, and a slower pace
  • This is not a paid job, but a shared experience and exchange, a holiday with some activities we might say 🙂

What we offer

 

  • A private room in our farmhouse.
  • Fast internet, your own space, and time for reflection.
  • Shared meals (vegetarian) – or freedom to cook your own veggie meal.
  • A beautiful, quiet place by the fjord.
  • Learning about our way of life and assisting restoring traditional buildings, living a sustainable life and of course real Norwegian rural life.
  • Access to the fjord (boat trips, swimming, chilling) and the surrounding nature.
  • Being part of a real farm project, not a polished resort.
  • Trips around the area, own time, in our (your and our) pace, but we like to get things done!

Our daily life

We both work full-time during weekdays, so you should be comfortable working on your own most days. We plan tasks together, explain things clearly, and work side by side when we can especially after work and in the weekends.

If this sounds like something for you, send us a message using this form:

    • Who you are
    • What skills or experience you have
    • How long you’d like to stay
    • When you’re available


We’re happy to answer questions and see if it’s a good match for both sides. We love to hear from you!
