I've done this experience with a friend and when we arrived at the house we both were a little bit shoked because it was dirty and messy. Olov was welcoming and wanted to make our stay great - he is a really nice person- but to be honest we felt really uncomfortable. Sometimes we had the feeling that we don't have so much personal space. After a few days it got better and all in all it was an experience worth it, but I would have liked to known beforehead what to expect. Working with the cows wasn't so hard and we worked as much hours as agreed.

Yeah, it been a time of degrading, it seams that including the cleaning tasks in the work schedule helps to balance the responsibility. That there is a lot of things in the house I do not want to want to change.
Groups are different and when the previous group accepted the old man as one of the volounteers l hope the next group will do the same and I try to make it happen. But when there is not at least one person in the volouteering grop that includes everyone it never works. It takes some time though to figure out if the new group make a distinkt difference between; work with the people living at the farm and having free time on their own or being a part of the community full time.

The people in the house, and the workers at the farm are respectful. And they make sure that you have what you need, or tell you the steps to fix what you need. I was able to do some construction because I have some work experience, but I primarily worked cow shifts. They provide boots, clothes, and gloves so you don't ruin your things. The only downside was that the house was made in the 1600s so it was a little outdated. Ex. Slow WiFi(it was down for a day or two but was fixed), the house is messy, & weird tasting water(they bring in drinking water). But overall, this was a good experience.

Part. 1/2 At the time we were there we took care of the animals. The work with the cows was intense and sometimes the schedules were harsh (the morning shift is between 5a.m and 10a.m and the evening shift between 3p.m and 8p.m) But it is possible to organize with Olov according to work preferences and days off,in this way it is possible to do several activities.

This was my first volunteer, and the volunteers here had already built strong relationships with the host, making it easy to communicate. With several volunteers around, we could explore in the car during free time or breaks. The host didn't always reside in the same house but made efforts to enhance understanding of the local area by going to neighborhood bars on weekends. Living as a volunteer demanded both initiative and teamwork, and overall, it was a very positive experience for me.

My time at the farm was amazing and so comfortable. The host, as well as the people working with us with the cows were very helpful and nice. I got to meet lots of international vollenteers and made friends with them. It was just the volunteers at the house we stay in most of the time. We cooked together or someone would do each meal. We would also go out to the bars, lakes and beaches. It all worked out wonderfully and was a great space to stay in.

I loved it so much! Such a great experience and I got to meet so many cool people. It felt like a home away from home and I wish I could have stayed longer!

I had a great time at the farm, the host was welcoming and appreciated my work, there were many other volunteers to bond and hang out with. The house is a bit dirty and full of flies, but I guess it's to be expected considering the kind of place. Although the workshop was not super organized, Olle always helped me to find stuff, also by text when he was away. The first days he prefers if you make a detailed plan with him before you start working by your self

My experience at the farm can be described as extremely positive. I had a wonderful time both while working and not. Regarding the first case I can say that I enjoyed the tasks very much, and I feel the need to thank Olov and the other farmers as they have been very kind and willing to teach. The environment at the farm allowed me to develop interesting relationships with the other volunteers so that we were able to do many things together in our free time while having a lot of fun. Olov is also willing to show you the local life and keep you informed on the nice activities happening around.
