Absolute pleasure working with Åke, Maria, Anders, Jasper & Noor -- they really are the glue holding the farm together. I enjoyed all our morning coffee break discussions on global events, local culture & life in general. After getting the hang of everything & settling into a routine, the physical labor became really satisfying. It was also fun to observe all the cows day-to-day, interact with them hands-on & learn some of their personality quirks. A few became my favorites. Olle is a fun host with many different hobbies & interests, so there's much to explore. Memorable experience all around

I really enjoyed my time in Sweden working at the farm and it was only made more enjoyable because Olle made sure we experienced the Swedish culture!

My experience here was good 🤍. I learned so much about cows and enjoyed every moment in nature. Olov always helped me with the country's transportation system (which can sometimes be a bit confusing). During my stay, I went on bike trips, swam in lakes, and even went canoeing. On some occasions, Olov took us to museums and interesting places in the surrounding areas, and he always opened the doors of his apartment in Uppsala whenever we needed it. Thank you to Åke, Jasper, Maria, and Ander for the time we shared; I learned so much about your culture. And thank you for everything Olov

Olov was very nice, he took us to different places to enjoy our stay, and he was very flexible with schedules and days off, but on the other hand the house was quite messy and dirty, and most of the time we had to scrub and cook their things

I stayed at the farm for 10 days with my friend. Olov makes a lot of effort to make volunteers' stays enjoyable and makes sure that everybody feels comfortable. The house was pretty messy and some tasks were hard, but Olov was flexible with us switching them, when we decided we prefer to do something else on the farm. He has a lot of instruments and amazing cats. Overall we enjoyed our stay there.

I worked on the farm for 3 weeks. It was really interesting to learn how to the farm, and everyone is very nice ! Olle always made sure we had ideas of what to do during our free time, such as exploring or trying new stuff. I tried snowboarding and cross-country skying and I loved it ! Olle's home mostly on the weekends and does activities with us at those moments. The house needs attention regarding the heating system, and it's never really tidy. It was an overall good experience !

I had a really good time at the farm. Olle was super nice and gave us so many opportunitiy to do things together and experience the local life. Working was also good and all the people we're welcomoing. I actually came on really short notice, but that was no problem at all, which was perfekt. If someone likes to work in a small group independently and ist open to try a lot of new things, this places is great :)

I have had some experiences so far using worldpackers and I have to say, this experience has been wonderful! Ollov warmly welcomed us in his home. The shifts with the cows are flexible and once you get used to it, it becomes easy to do. Everyone at the farm is amazing. Åke, Maria, Jasper and Anders have been very helpful and easy to communicate with. For everyone who wants to visit though, keep in mind that the farm is a very simplistic and rustic place, but that's part of the experience. I will always miss the two cats and I hope I get to visit again soon! :)
