The Experience

Winter puts most activities on hold, but the care of our cows is a year-round commitment. During spring/summer/autumn, we have more hands-on projects. You'll help paint windows and walls, repair roofs, do plumbing, gardening, and even pick fresh berries. Beyond your 25 hours/week, we ask for 30 minutes of daily cleaning to keep your accommodation tidy.

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.

Great experience working on the farm! Super fun connecting with all the other volunteers, and everyone on the dairy farm is lovely and welcoming, very knowledgeable about Sweden and the farm, and eager and happy to share stories. The cow shift is very fun, it was so cool to learn so much about cows and to get into a routine taking care of them, and all of the nature around the farm is absolutely gorgeous.

Olov and his family were very sweet and made sure we had everything we needed. The place is as authethentic an experience it gets in terms of a rural swedish farm life. I got to learn a lot from this experience culturally and about dairy farming. It was also a good place to wind down and relax. Although the work can get intense somedays, you have the flexibility and your hours are respected. Dairy farming might not be everyone's cup of tea but i enjoyed it and taught me a life skill, and a newfound respect for farmers.

Hej Olov, Åke, Maria, Ingrid, Anders and Jasper, these two weeks spent in Söderala were wonderful thanks to all of you ! Special thanks to Olov of course who let us a lot of freedom, autonomy and flexibility. This meaningfull trust was great 🙂 The house/farm is very peacefull and if you want to have a real immersion into Swedish culture, it's the perfect place, particularly during June ! I learned a lot, about gardening and about myself. When I was here, I met 6 volunteers from all around the world and it led to a lot of interesting talking, thank you all 😁 Thanks for everything, see you☀
