The Experience

Our organic farm is located in east Slovenia (near Celje) on a beautiful hill. In 2014 our family decided to move from town to the countryside. Since our movement, the farm keeps on growing. We started with cattle breeding. If you are looking for a quiet place, surrounded by animals, and endless forests and a desire to contribute to organic farming, apply! *Click on learn more for additional information*

Fantastic!! Monika, Jure and Filip are all very welcoming, friendly and fun to hangout with! Shoutout to Charlie, Luna and Misun, will miss all of you! The farm is located in a beautiful spot in the hills above Vojnik. Celje is a bike ride away which is perfect for day trips and exploring, lots to see. I very much enjoyed helping out at the farm from window installation, electrical and of course weeding which I definitely got better at as the days progressed. I will forever be grateful for my time at the farm. May the season be filled with abundance. Much love from Canada!! Cheers

I've had an amazing two weeks here. The family—Monika, Jure, and Pilip—made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. They are very kind and fun. The work was enjoyable, and the schedule was clearly set. As for the surroundings, you're surrounded by nature and also close to some cities you can explore or visit by train. I had the chance to discover some great places thanks to their recommendations. For anyone looking for a volunteering opportunity, I definitely recommend it.

If I I could give Monika and Jure more stars then I would - My stay at the farm has been absolutely wonderful. The farm is beautiful, the animals really cute (especially with Missan the cat living with the volunteers) and the atmosphere very friendly. The working hours are respected and Monika worked alongside us regularly offering clear instructions. Monika and Jure were also very generous with their time to help ensure we could see the local area to get the most from our experience I also really enjoyed joining Monika on her. morning dog walks in the local area. A gem of a Worldpackers!

I had a great time! the farm season was almost over, so we had different gardening tasks on the farm. After work we discovered the sourroundings by walking or car, often together with Monika and Jure. They made everthing possible and the two weeks went by too quickly. Big Hvala for everything! :)

This Volunteering experience was a 10/10! Monika and her family are warmhearted, caring and of course funny people. We volunteered after the farm-highsaison, so we did a lot of work around the farm, which was reasonable and clear communicated from the beginning. I definetely enjoyed the walks together with Monika and the Carli, as well as exploring the places Monika took us. She always takes care that everyone feels comfortable. Thanks for having us!
