What is happening here?
The former grand farm, Opsal Gard on Tangen, has a history that goes far back in time.
But for the last 50 years the farm has been more or less uninhabited.
This fine group of volunteers has discovered that there are many skis at Stabburet. All of them come from countries without snow, but they are brave and have fun!
WWOOFING – would you like to volunteer here?
This is a new project on a very old farm. We are talking about a pioneering project! The focus is rewilding and biodiversity. While we grow our own food, the well-being of the forest and other wild and domestic creatures is super important.
The activities vary a lot! We are working with the horses, making fences and compost, planting trees and wooding for next winter, harvesting herbs berries and vegetables. We have made a forest garden with ‘fedges’, a mix of a hedge and a fence, and are organically restoring the house and barn.
At Opsal Gard you should be able to experience meadows and forests, animals and insect life in an atmosphere with a historical touch. Storytelling and courses are intertwined with work and experience together on the farm.We humans are part of the diversity and will contribute through generative agriculture. With hay meadows and less mechanical intervention, the plants contribute to diversity in the surroundings and thus to richer insect life which in turn contributes to greater bird life!
