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!

The place itself is nice and in tune with nature, but the host is not very organised. When you come over to help, he dumps all the manual and heavy labour on you and goes to the soft ones, like flower picking, instead of working alongside you. Yes, accommodation is provided, but considering how manual-intensive the work is, a meal should be provided in between work to make the volunteer feel worthwhile and appreciated.

Are you serious? You had lot of small and easy jobs to help here - picking cutted water branches, painting 5m2 wall, making birch brooms for sauna, etc . The hardest ones was gather hay from small (100m2) field, it was already raked in piles and picking 12 small piles took you full day of 5h. Second "hard" job was to dig and weed 9m2 field, that you just plucked the top vegetation and leave all roots inside - also took you full day. If you apply for farm work, be prepare to do some manual work!!

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
