FAQ – Farm Stay at Nordgården

What is a farm stay at Nordgården?

A farm stay at Nordgården is a holiday where you take part in everyday life on a smallholding in  D.enmark

During your stay, you are invited to join simple daily routines such as feeding the animals and walking the animal rounds together with the host. The experience is informal and especially meaningful for children, who can explore, learn and be close to animals in a safe environment.

What is the difference between a farm stay and a holiday apartment?

At Nordgården, you can choose between two types of stays:

A farm stay includes shared activities and a gentle daily rhythm on the farm, where you can take part in life with the animals.

A holiday apartment stay gives you full flexibility to plan your days on your own, without participating in farm activities.

Both options include accommodation in your own apartment in the countryside.

Do we have to participate in activities?

No, participation is always optional.

You are welcome to join the animal rounds and shared moments, but you can also simply enjoy your stay at your own pace. Many guests find a natural balance between the two.

Is the farm stay suitable for children?

Yes – Nordgården is especially suited for families with children.

Children can move freely in safe surroundings, play in the garden, use the sandbox and trampoline, and take part in everyday farm activities.

What is included in the price?

For farm stays, the price includes:

• Participation in farm activities
