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.

I had a great time at Olovs Place! The farm is situated in such a beautiful landscape and there are plenty of places nearby you can visit by car. In winter we had the opportunity to go ice skating almost every day on such beautiful lakes. It's just what you expect swedens nature to be like. If you have a drivers license you can visit all these places by your own with the provided car. Olov and the people working on the farm are very welcoming and will do everything to make your stay great! For me the work with the cows was really fun. In just two weeks I learned a lot and I enjoyed it!

I definitely learned a lot about farm life; taking care of the cows and keeping the farm in general require daily attention, but the experience was still quite rewarding. I appreciate Äke, Maria, Jesper, and Anders for taking the time to explain everything to me everything I need to know to do my work. We have wonderful conversations over coffee in the morning, and the family is very welcoming. Ollev was always watching out for us if we have everything we need and accompanied us to various locations, such as the lake or skiing, so we could enjoy the winter activities. Thanks a lot my friend!

The experience was amazing! Everyone is loving and patient with the volunteers. They have all the structure and clothes for us to go to the farm. mornings go by fast and there's a lot of love! Olov is a great host and company! I highly recommend the experience! :) The point of improvement that I see is to improve the tidiness of the house where the volunteers live.

My experience was great! We had everything we needed in the house, everything as described in the vacancy. The work varies between tasks at home and on the farm with the cows, but everything can be combined and divided. Olle is a special person he took us to many places around and we had a lot of fun together. Åke, Maria and Jasper are very patient in teaching all the work, and made us feel very welcome! Being able to spend Christmas with them at a traditional Swedish dinner was wonderful! Everyone is very sweet, I hope to return one day! I highly recommend it!

I really loved my time on the farm, we have some responsibilities around the house and i also worked with the cows and learned a lot. Åke, Marie and Jasper are very patient, fun and I felt really good there. In the house we had everything we needed. Olle is a great host, a great cook, and great company for anything. I had good times at the farm, I recommend it to everyone who wants this kind of experience.

There is a lot of work, you can choose between gardening or with the cows. I was there for 10 days and I really enjoyed being with the other volunteers and with the cows If you know how to drive you can take the car. About the house, it has a lot of potential but it is not very clean, it is a bit messy and there are too many things everywhere, maybe you could help to organize it, also you have to understand that cleaning the house is everyone's responsibility, so you must keep the common spaces clean

I was there for 2 months, I'm another since I was there. First of all, it's impossible to describe even a ilttle all the experiences which happened me there, since the crazy american guy until the savage animals. Nevertheless I have to say that Maria and Oke are one of the best people who I have never meet. Oke was trying to make me laugh every single day and Maria simply is... kind and lovely. I don't really know what to say, so I'll say nothing. Just one advice: talk with Olov. Whatever petite sort of problem if you don't like the job, the food, if you are bored, if you need something.

My experience was very eye opening, gave me a very cool story to tell😅 my host was by far one of the best hosts I've had for any volunteering experiences, if you can drive you can use the car, if he's gone and you have to get groceries he'll supplement when he gets back, and he does his best to help the volunteers work and collaborate together, there's plenty of tasks to do so you're never bored and you can always rest when you need, and the most important thing to me was he knows how to cook! Best chicken I've ever had.😌
