My stay at Alpaca Garden was unforgettable! The animals are the cutest, the family is so nice and you can go to Oslo very easily! The tasks were fine, I had to take care of the alpacas and clean the iglus.☺️ Kari-Anne and her family are the nicest people - you feel like you are at home 💗 If we had any wishes, Kari-Anne always fulfilled them within minutes!! Our accomodation was amazing, a beautiful house🌷 All in all, I would absolutely recommend this place, it is perfect for connecting with locals and reconneting with nature and animals🦙🦙 I want to go there again😊❤️

We are so happy and grateful that you decided to volunteer at our farm, in one of the most busiest months of the year ! Christmas markets, Alpaca Walks, guests visiting us, animal care and Christmas preperations! And in the middle of all this, we got 12 puppies (!) - we could not make this happen, without your fantastic help! You are always welcome back, and we will welcome you as a part of our family :-) Wish you all the best, Leti - take care!

I fulfilled my dream of working with alpacas (amazing animals!),and my expectations were more than exceeded. I had a wonderful time on the farm, and the family was incredibly warm and welcoming. Since Oslo isn't far away, it's easy to spend your days off there as well. Besides farm work, the job also includes cleaning the forest igloos you often see on Instagram^^, I think that work and walks through the forest are really enjoyable. If you're looking for farm work, peace, and nature, this is the perfect place—just keep in mind that farm work can be physically demanding. I'd definitely go back

My time at the alpaca farm was truly a great experience! Kari-Anne & her family made me feel so welcomed & at home. Her home cooked dinners were so so good!! Alpacas are of course such cute and calming animals & I have learnt a lot from working with them! The work is mostly alpaca care & cleaning igloos up in the forest but i had the opportunity to help out at the christmas markets as well!! :) I got to explore surrounding areas as well as Oslo & in general felt very cared for by the family, i would recommend this farm to anyone who loves animals & wants a break for the mind!! Much love xxx

This was my very first experience with Worldpackers and I couldn't have wished for a better start. The whole family is very warm and welcoming. Kari-Anne is attentive and makes sure we have everything we need. The home-cooked food was always a highlight. The atmosphere is relaxed and it's wonderful to be surrounded by all these cute alpacas. The work mainly consists of keeping the alpaca enclosures clean and refilling the hay nets. In addition, the igloos in the forest need to be cleaned after each check-out.

This is a truly great experience that I can't recommend enough. Kari-Anne is an absolute sweetheart and her family are extremely welcome and nice. Alpacas are very chill and calm animals, so cute to be around! The work at the farm mostly feeding and endless poop picking (and it's heavier than you'd think!). There's also some chickens and bunnies but they're very light work. Usually you also have to go up the forest and clean some igloos, notice that this is a bit more physically demanding that you'd think as it's carrying a heavy backpack and big jugs of water. In summary, loved it! <3
