Calling early birds! Take care of cows on a Swedish farmstead

Honduras

5

I definitely learned a lot about farm life; taking care of the cows and keeping the farm in general require daily attention, but the experience was still quite rewarding. I appreciate Äke, Maria, Jesper, and Anders for taking the time to explain everything to me everything I need to know to do my work. We have wonderful conversations over coffee in the morning, and the family is very welcoming. Ollev was always watching out for us if we have everything we need and accompanied us to various locations, such as the lake or skiing, so we could enjoy the winter activities. Thanks a lot my friend!

The experience was amazing! Everyone is loving and patient with the volunteers. They have all the structure and clothes for us to go to the farm. mornings go by fast and there's a lot of love! Olov is a great host and company! I highly recommend the experience! :) The point of improvement that I see is to improve the tidiness of the house where the volunteers live.

My experience was great! We had everything we needed in the house, everything as described in the vacancy. The work varies between tasks at home and on the farm with the cows, but everything can be combined and divided. Olle is a special person he took us to many places around and we had a lot of fun together. Åke, Maria and Jasper are very patient in teaching all the work, and made us feel very welcome! Being able to spend Christmas with them at a traditional Swedish dinner was wonderful! Everyone is very sweet, I hope to return one day! I highly recommend it!

I really loved my time on the farm, we have some responsibilities around the house and i also worked with the cows and learned a lot. Åke, Marie and Jasper are very patient, fun and I felt really good there. In the house we had everything we needed. Olle is a great host, a great cook, and great company for anything. I had good times at the farm, I recommend it to everyone who wants this kind of experience.

There is a lot of work, you can choose between gardening or with the cows. I was there for 10 days and I really enjoyed being with the other volunteers and with the cows If you know how to drive you can take the car. About the house, it has a lot of potential but it is not very clean, it is a bit messy and there are too many things everywhere, maybe you could help to organize it, also you have to understand that cleaning the house is everyone's responsibility, so you must keep the common spaces clean

I was there for 2 months, I'm another since I was there. First of all, it's impossible to describe even a ilttle all the experiences which happened me there, since the crazy american guy until the savage animals. Nevertheless I have to say that Maria and Oke are one of the best people who I have never meet. Oke was trying to make me laugh every single day and Maria simply is... kind and lovely. I don't really know what to say, so I'll say nothing. Just one advice: talk with Olov. Whatever petite sort of problem if you don't like the job, the food, if you are bored, if you need something.

My experience was very eye opening, gave me a very cool story to tell😅 my host was by far one of the best hosts I've had for any volunteering experiences, if you can drive you can use the car, if he's gone and you have to get groceries he'll supplement when he gets back, and he does his best to help the volunteers work and collaborate together, there's plenty of tasks to do so you're never bored and you can always rest when you need, and the most important thing to me was he knows how to cook! Best chicken I've ever had.😌

This volunteering is difficult to assess. Olov is approachable, kind and flexible. He offers his home as if it were yours. The work in the stables is hard but nobody forces you to do anything you don't want to do and that is very positive. The house, which was completely different from the pictures messy, the amount of objects that were there and the dirt. It is in the middle of nowhere and stuck to the road, there is not much to do around. Some of my roommates left early. Grateful to Olov for opening the doors to his house, but it was not an experience I enjoyed to the fullest.

The experience was very mixed from the beginning. The accommodation was far from clean and the kitchen was not tidy. However the rooms themselves were fine and the bathroom was ok. The work is decent and fair and also flexible so if you want to do something one day or take a break it is not an issue. The hosts were very kind, even loaning us their car so we could go see a few things nearby and offering to take me and other volunteers out to experience the Swedish social life. We even enjoyed an Easter lunch together. The town is quiet, small, and surrounded by nature.

My stay here was very good! Olov is very funny and always ready to help. I think the tidiness and cleanliness of the house could be improved, but otherwise everything was great. The work is very physical but you learn a lot there, everyone is very communicative and cares about you learning.

Yes there is a huge load on the house the volouteers should clean up their own mess. The house been cleaned ftom the roof to the floor many times but degrade because we do not understaind how much one person contribute to the degradation just by living in the house. It is not enough to take away your own bread crumbs each person need to do at least one hour of concentrated cleaning every week. It is in the contract 25 hours of farmwork and outside of that contribute to a zero degradation of the place where you live.
