Olov is easily the best host I've stayed with so far ! Upon arriving, I immediately felt welcomed and at home. The working hours and tasks are flexible, unless you're working the shifts with the cows, but even so I was able to choose if I wanted to do that or not. The employees and owners of the farm are also genuinely kind people and patient teachers. I can particularly recommend this place if you want to immerse yourself in local culture. Olov is always happy to suggests acivites and spots to visit in your free time and also goes out with the volunteers when he visits. Thank you again ! 🤗

My time in Söderala was great! I met so many incredible people and I learned a lot. I started with trying to cow shift which was great, but afterwards I was also able to do other work like deep cleaning the house and I really liked doing that. Olov is an incredible host who will always propose fun activities to do in the area. We did a lot while I was in Uppsala/Söderala. Like dance parties, music events and a visit to an animal park called Vildriket. I would definetly recommend going if you want to experience life in rural Sweden.

This was my first time as a volunteer and I was very scared of how it could result, but this was a really nice experience. I got the chance to connect with more volunteers and they made it even better. I was first in Uppsala and we worked on the cleaning then went to the farm. Everyone was so kind and nice to me, working with Jasper, Anders, Ake, María and Wilda was great! Spending the time with Ollé (Olov) was great too. He is always looking for activities to enjoy and places to visit and make you have beautiful days and nights. I really hope I can go back and see these people again! 🥹🥰🤗

It was a wonderful experience at the farm! We learnt many things about gardening and the farm life, the place was really cool, away from the city, so It was a great occasion to get in contact with nature. During our free time we were able to explore the areas near the house, da couple of trekkings and also swim in the lake! The only thing that you need to keep in mind is that the house is not really tidy and that it gets dirty quite easily with many people but with some good will you will get used to it and you will surely enjoy your days at the farm.

The experience has been fantastic. The schedules and tasks are flexible and not very difficult. Olov suggests activities in the area so you can enjoy the local culture. The only thing I'd mention is that there's a lack of cleanliness and order, which can be a bit surprising at first… but overall, a very good experience.

Overall, the experience was pleasant. The relationship with the other volunteers was wonderful, as was that with Olov, Jasper, Maria Ake, and Andresch. The work was dynamic and stimulating. I would only recommend paying more attention to cleanliness and order, but Olov's hospitality was wonderful, almost like being at home.

Volunteering in Sweden has been one of the most enriching experiences of my life. From the very first day, I was welcomed with warm gestures and the genuine hospitality of Swedish culture. The host was incredibly kind, respectful, and made me feel like a part of the family. The work was fair, well-organized, and gave me the chance to learn new skills while still having time to explore nature and reflect on myself. Being surrounded by such peaceful landscapes brought me the mental clarity I had been craving.I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to reconnect with nature !

The experience was very good. At first, I was a bit shocked by how messy the house was, but in the end, you get used to it. I worked in the garden so the working hours were very flexible.

This experience was amazing. Olov and his brother Åke were great hosts and I learned so much from them. Olov would bring the volunteers to different cultural events/locations and always had recommendations for things to do when we had free time. The work with the cows was intense and might take some time to adjust to, but it's very routine. I really enjoyed the work and the experience outside of it, bonding with volunteers and Olov. Would recommend if you want to learn a new skill and experience local culture!

I had a great experience at the farm. It definitely taught me a lot and was so different from everything I've done before. Olle was very welcoming. He took us to concerts, local events and kept us updated about events happening in town. He gave us bunch of valuable pro-tips about traveling Sweden. Overall I had valuable time and would recommend the experience to anyone willing to immerse with the local culture and farmlife.
