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.

It has been an unforgettable experience, Olle is a unique person, there is no time to get bored with him. Upon arrival we had to spend a couple of days in Uppsala, and he recommended a lot of places to visit in the city and taking us to an ABBA tribute concert, once at the farm, he also offered us his help with all the questions we had and take us for a many events in the near cities. The volunteers with whom I have coincided have been my best coincidence, and from all of them I take an important lesson, in the end we became a small family that continues to be connected in the distance.

My experience was way beyond my expectations. I want to thank my host Olle for his open-mindness and inclusiveness. Olle has a kind heart, always invested in creating and enabling cultural experiences for the volunteers. Everything I needed during my 2 week stay was provided by Olle. Because of his willingness to inform, guide and advise, especially on nature and local culture, this was a most transformative experience for me. His laissez-faire approach gave much space for our group to develop our own dynamics. My co-volunteers are amazing people and we remain in contact after leaving.

Olov is a great host and none of the volunteers have had any communication or agreement issues. The tasks are not difficult, but if you are not working with the cows, expect to have a dynamic environment, as tasks can change according to the farm priority. But that is actually really nice, as you will have the opportunity to learn new things every week, and always treated with respect even when you don't really know what you are doing. Always ask, communication is really important and they are willing to repeat the same information 5 times if you didn't understand the first time.

It's like a university dorm, so the other volunteers and I became like a family. The work was chill, and still left plenty of time to explore the nearby town or lakes. It is in the countryside, but town isn't far away, and can be reached by bike or bus. Olle was great, he makes delicious jam, and knows the local events and cultural things. 100% would recommend.

Very great!Olov is attentive and helpful,each trip to the market turns into a wonderful walk with a stunning sunset!He tells a lot of interesting things about the places and about Swedish culture.You can take the bike and reach incredible lakes!The house has a lot of junk,but if the volunteers organize themselves and fulfill the cleaning obligation,it becomes a good place to be!Working in the garden is endless work,but he never forces you to do anything,you do as much as your responsibility tells.He cares that you do something you like,so he gives you endless options of work to choose!

Olle is an amazing host! There is a lot of work, but he doesn't make you work more hours than agreed, is very flexible with working times in the garden, lets you take your rest, and will always show how to do the task if you don't know how to do it! Working was very fun, I learned so much about gardening! Many say about the lack of cleanliness of the house, but I belive that before you come you should understand that cleanliness of the house is everyone's responsibility, so if everyone does their small part, the house is kept in good condition :). I totally would totally reccomend coming!

There is an astonishing amount of possibilities for a stay at Olovs farm! You are located close to lakes (iceskating), a skiresort and Söderhamn (free indoor iceskating, paddle and swimming) and the car is at your disposal. There is plenty of space in the farm, so you can make your self comfortable. Be aware, that during the week the volunteers stay in the farm on their own, as Olov works in Uppsala. You are responsable for tidyness. His brother and familiy live next door, running the cow business. You work there in the morning or afternoon or on handyman projects as agreed upon.

I really like my time in the farm where I felt like home. I learned a lot during the shifts with the cows and it was a pleasure to work with everybody at the barn. During the free time, I had a lot of opportunities to do winter activities and spend time with Olov during the weekend was very nice.
