The Experience

Huck and Klara share a farm north of Brno in the Czech Highlands. We host vacation rentals over the summer months and care for the horses and land throughout the year. We ask for five hours of work per day and a half day on Saturday. There are a variety of tasks that include working in the forest and storing wood for winter, fencing, cleaning up after the horses, gardening and maintaining the pastures and orchards.

This was my first experience on WP and couldn't be more perfect! Huck and Klara are amazing hosts and the place is incredible. I've been lucky with the weather and Huck has been teaching me the fundamentals of horses' care! The work could be hard but the working hours were always respected. So, if you are not worried about working and you love the nature and forests I absolutely suggest this place!

My stay at the farm was very nice. Huck and Klara are super nice people. The nature is beautiful and the work was not too hard. If you have questions or have a problem, you can always ask Huck and Klara if they help you. I was able to spend a lot of time with the horses and learned a lot about them. All in all it was a very nice stay and I can recommend it to everyone :)

My experience in the farm's Farm was very rewarding. I had the opportunity to connect with the nature which I enjoyed overall. The work was hard, but there were breaks where I could focus on my stuff without distractions. As for the food, it was excellent; I had the freedom of making my own dishes but most of the time, I took advantage of Klara and Huck's cooking skills 😂. Working with them was easy, they were clear and specific about the daily tasks. I recommend it to someone who is looking for an volunteer experience in the Czech Republic countryside.

Personal growth, these are the perfect words to describe this experience, the constant dedication on the part of Huck and Klara is evident, always concerned with teaching me more and more, since the first day they tried to help me in every aspect, learning new things on the farm, with the horses or even advice for the future life. I felt at home, comfortable, welcomed and happy to share these two weeks with such wise people and wonderful animals. For future travelers, the best thing I can advise is to listen to all the advice and daily concern that the hosts show.

Klara and Huck are both very nice and straightforward people, and also a very good company. I really enjoyed my time there, and I learned a lot about horses, farm life, and myself. Klara's meals are very delicious:) The work is sometimes tiring, but you get to be outside, the highlands are calm and beautiful. Klara and Huck helped me with everything, and it was a relief to get away from a busy city and work there in the nature, with animals, and getting to know two amazing person:) (But I'm not going to lie, I'm going to miss Katie the most) Thank you for everything, I hope I can go again soon
