Where East meets West, halfway between Oslo and Bergen, you’ll find our historic family farm Ødelien, beautifully situated 750 meters above sea level in the mountain village of Leveld. Surrounded by forests and mountains, this is a special place for anyone who enjoys nature, quiet surroundings, and outdoor life. The farm also has two beautiful mountain farms where you might get to visit or stay. This summer we are finishing a building project on our mountain chalet, alongside the daily work of running the farm and our tourist cabins. I am responsible for the day-to-day operations, and you will mainly be in contact with me. The farm has been in the family for generations, with some buildings dating back to 1865. Today, the main activity is running nine tourist cabins, welcoming guests who come to experience the mountains and the peaceful atmosphere. About us: We are a family with three children. Me Tone grew up on this farm, but have also been travelling the world and volunteering ...

We live on a small property eight minutes from Kerikeri township. We have a private lake and kayaks are available to explore. We used to run a bed and breakfast here so I guess we can say we dont bite and our place is clean and comfortable. Some animals and chickens on site. Fruit when in season. Having a vehicle to explore for times when you are not working is a must and there is no public transport here. We are meat eaters. We need help now throughout the year. I have some physical limitations and require help to get on top of STUFF. We have many trees that have been felled waiting for splitting with a fuel powered machine, paths needed to be built, gardening, general gardening tools available and I am also building a cottage. Inside work for those wet days include painting, plus preparation, cleaning windows plus other general household tasks. Woodworking/carpentry skills could be an asset. There is a workshop here if you want to pursue a project. A previous couple outfitted th...

We are a cultural and arts community that is working towards being self-sustained. The community is situated in the mountains of Monchique, Portugal surrounded by nature. Our community provides an alternative way of living with permaculture gardens, farm animals, sustainability projects, and arts and cultural workshops. It is a great place to come to meet other like-minded people if you are passionate about sustainability and alternative living. We hold community meetings throughout the week alongside activities and workshops, such as quiz nights, dance nights and yoga classes.

We are a family with four growing upp children, 17- 20 years old, living on a small farm 15 km from Örnsköldsvik in the middlenorth of Sweden. We run this little farm with a few sheep, some organic growing of vegetables and potatoes and some forestry. Both of us work outside home as well but just parttime so that we can be able to spend time on the farm and with our family. There is always a lot of work to do and here you can be expected to help out with various things like fencing for the sheep, work in the garden or in the forest with wood, carpeting, maybe some cooking etc. No particular experience is required but you`d better like practical (and sometimes hard) work! We live just by a lake so in summer there are lovely possibilities to swim, kayaking, fishing etc. It`s not far from the sea and the beautiful and stunning area "Höga kusten" - "High coast". You stay in your own, small cottage about 50 mtrs from our house where you have a small kitchenette with cold water and an outho...

We prefer if you can cook and bake bread or are happy to learn. For us, communication is the most important thing and best is someone who has a sense of humor and fits into our sociable family.

We recently moved onto this property and are setting it up on organic permaculture principles. There is a large greenhouse structure (with no covering) that we are in the process of remediating and an avocado orchard that we will be planting other trees and shrubs into to turn it into a food forest.

Hello friends, Welcome! -- How I'm on HelpX -- You have found an old profile (I have hosted more than 10 times - just most people forget to leave a reference!), in quite a new situation! It is about 8 years since I stopped traveling myself and came back to my hometown. I got to know this platform when I was a student in Kefalonia island and I met some very interesting people who were travelling using helpx. This is what inspired me to create my own profile when I returned at the countryside, to meet again interesting people and share creative time together! -- About me -- I am a musician (composer,guitarist and singer) - I study music all my life and have been playing with several bands - though I like doing many other different things. Recently I have started studies on homeopathy and I aim this to be my future job. Here in the countryside I work in agriculture and gardening. Apart from these I like many activities in the nature like: hiking, fishing, mushroom harvest, swimmi...

Gardening, housework, light mechanical, a bit of hunting, all sorts of things, never boring.A wicked sense of humor is a good asset to bring. handy to Routeburn and Greenstone tracks. You will need your own internet connection as I don't supply wifi. A bit isolated, not for the precious, no trophy hunters!! Please don't apply unless you intend to come for a minimum stay of two weeks. One person only. We do not get involved with internships or visa applications. Vegetarians and vegans would probably not be comfortable as we eat meat daily. I am off grid and totally dependent on solar, so you have to charge your devices during the day and definitely no hairdryers! Accommodation is a house bus in warmer weather or a room in the house in winter, not shared usually. Lastly I also play the guitar (badly) and sing (worse) but it's all about smile not style :-) , please don't come if you have a heavy cold or flu, I'm involved with the elderly. Cheers Al

At our off- grid solar, wood and gravity powered homestead you can live very close to Nature and learn by helping, how to grow your own food in the big, fully caged vegie garden/ orchard and some of how to build a bush cabin (it could be a winning strategy in years to come). We are long term, committed advocates, for climate change action and we've lived with Sustainability and Creating a low "Carbon Footprint" in mind, for 40 yrs now, settling here, (inland of Taree / Port Macquarie) from scratch in 1980, on 680 acres of rocky ridge forest on the wild and steep NW edge of the Bulga Plateau, 500m above sea level (a very beautiful but challenging location)!

Three of us live here now, myself 74, David 84 and Sue 64, who started as a WWOOFer and has moved here with the help of a voluntary activity agreement through Centrelink for over 55s'.

Our location is great for day trips to Raglan, Hamilton Gardens, and Hobbiton. For helpers without their own car, there is a bus stop about 15-minutes walk from our house, we might be available to help with a ride to the bus stop, and we drive into town a couple days as week as well. We have horses, goats, chickens, dogs, a cat, a rabbit and a pet bird. We are establishing gardens, growing food, and following permaculture and organic practices. There is always a wide variety of tasks to suit any helper/s, and the task timeframes are very flexible for weather and sightseeing.

We have a 180 squ m vegetable garden at times needing attention which has been enclosed to keep out our friends the wallabies (pademelons), possums, parrots and native bush turkeys. Bush regeneration is another activity as well as assisting in ecological surveys of local rivers when t...
