The Experience
There are several buildings at the inn that I recently acquired, a pond for swimming, and a nearby forest with lovely walking trails. I have a friendly Alaskan Malamute. I am looking for individuals who have a strong sense of initiative, come up with ideas, and are enthusiastic to put them into action. We are planning to open experience centre here to enjoy forest bathing, mindfulness, exercises and stretching, hot and cold therapy.

Andis and Lelde made me feel very welcome at their the farm, very lovely people! I had a comfy place to sleep and cook my food and peaceful environment to spend my free time. the farm is surrounded by beautiful nature and forest, you can also easily make it to the river or discover the city of Jelgava. There was a bike at my disposal to go to the town and back if i needed. The job is easy and Andis explains everything perfectly well. Everyday we did something different and i'm sure they will find fun tasks for you to do once you're there. I would truly recommend this experience!

What a beautiful place to be, I really enjoyed my stay here. Was so nice to spend time surrounded by nature with my hands in the earth. A refreshment for the soul. The accommodation was really comfortable and Andis and Lelde are such lovely people who made me feel right at home from the start. The work is fun and varied, with flexible hours which pass very quickly so you still have time for yourself each day. There's a gym and a pond to swim in, and you can borrow a bike to get to town. Plus the hourly train to Riga is only 2.50€. A wonderful experience, would highly recommend.

One of the best service/travel experiences of my life. Andis and Lelde and lovely people who are friendly, funny, and are genuinely interested in showing you Latvian culture while learning about your own. Tasks involved gardening, weeding, leveling, cleaning, and building. I have never enjoyed digging a hole as much as I have here - the work is truly gratifying. The property is like a little piece of country only 10 mins from the city center (by car). You can use the bikes to go to and from the city or Bolt scooters. There are plenty of trails in the forest behind the property. Also sauna!

This trip was my first Worldpackers experience and I'm not disappointed. I'm a French boy and I staid for a week and I did some simple tasks like moving wood for example. So the accommodation with Andis and Lelde was very agreable. In addition they gave me advice to visit somewhere. Really nice experience
