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

5

This was my first time using Worldpackers and I am overall satisfied with my experience. I met so many amazing people. Working alongside the dairy farmers (Ake, Maria, Anders, and Jesper) was an absolute joy and an incredible learning experience. They are great people and are happy for the help. Accommodations were adequate. Volunteers have private rooms . The house isn't the cleanest, but this is somewhat in control of the volunteers. Olov, the host, was away from the farm for over half my stay, but I met him when I first arrived and the expectations for my stay were communicated clearly.

This was my first volunteering and i think it couldn't have been better. All the tasks were great and the time flew by: working with cows, fixing windows or gardening. The workers were just lovely, willing to help you with anything. There were also lots of things to do in the free time: cafes, cycling, lakes, ice skating or thrift shops. Olov is great, willing to show you the local life and keeping you informed of all the events going on. It has been a unique and unforgettable experience, I would highly recommend it.

This experience has been absolutely amazing. I mainly focused on the cows (which were amazing) however I also did some shifts in gardening, picking berries, cleaning and carpentry. The work you do can vary in what you want and what is needed as well as the skills you have. Everybody there was very kind and explained everything. Olov is an amazing person we had so much fun with him, he always informed us of events that were going on. Åke and Marie are responisble for the cow farm and a great people and I enjoyed spending my time with them during our fika. I had a wonderful time!

Initially, we were unsure because of the lack of cleanliness. But once we settled in and tidied, the experience improved. Olov's place is very tranquil and comfortable. We were with a great group that took turns cooking, cleaning, etc. The work isn't too difficult but very rewarding. I helped in the garden and enjoyed picking potatoes, apples and berries to immediately use in the kitchen. Olov is a wonderful person who welcomes you with open arms and has a lot of knowledge. I recommend this experience for anyone who isn't afraid to get their hands dirty or live in close quarters with others.

This was my first Worldpackers experience and it was a good one. All of the work is very fair and Olov allows you to decide your work each day and give you some direction and guidance on how to do it. The house was a bit messy, but we had a great group of other volunteers who all pitched in to clean it up and make it more tidy and cozy. The land itself is absolutely gorgeous, very green trees and grass with colorful sunsets every night. The nightlife is not equal to a major city, but you can find things to do and Olov will send you some events in the area happening as well. Would recommend

It was a unique experience. Working with the cows was fun and also painting the windows. I met nice people with whom I shared so many experiences. It was nice to cook and eat every time all together. The farm is big and it is surrounded by beautiful natural landscapes. Olle was a very helpful and sharing person.

This was my first experience with worldpackers, so it was all new for me but i was very lucky. Everything was fantastic and Olle was engaging and always had new ideas to keep us entertained. With the bikes at our disposal i was able to explore many places near the farm and all the lakes are so beautiful. Working with the cows was a wonderful experience that i hope to do again soon

My first experience with Worldpackers was wonderful, choosing the farm to take care of the animals made me feel at home, Mr. Olle together with the whole family and the farm's staff are wonderful and welcoming people, they are patient and know how to teach, I hope to be able to return in near future

My experience at the farm was super enriching, Olov and the people who work with the cows are very kind and good people. The work is fun, and that in our free time we went with the bikes to different lakes, with the canoe, beaches and cafeterias, as well as to the town to second-hand stores, ice skating and bars. I highly recommend it, I really enjoyed the experience.

Olle was a great host, very appreciative, fun and made me feel at home from the start! He's always willing to take us on different trips, and there's a bike/car available to explore the area, where, if you look, you'll find plenty of amazing places to see. I worked with the cows which I really enjoyed. Ake and Maria were amazing, knowledgeable, welcoming people who taught me a lot. The work is physical so be prepared to work hard and be rewarded with the farm cats, cows and routine coffee breaks! Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better experience, a better group of people, or host <3

I did not realize, there was no review written for Ellie until she came back. I was totally sure I wrote one. I think the webpage might have crashed. She is the best volounteer ever. Always on time to her shift. Doing the work perfect taking responsibility for everything. If you give her a daily task it will be done and never forgotten.
