The Experience

This is an historical place, famous far beyond Småland. We won it in a competition about the best project. Help us restore this beautiful farm! We have started planting a lot of organic fruit trees that will need a lot of care. There is also an amazing abandoned botanical garden which we want to bring back to life! We have big greenhouses for vegetables and buildings that need restoring. Lots to do at this wonderful place right at lake Åsnen!

Our stay at the host was truly wonderful! The work was enjoyable and diverse – from weeding and watering trees to picking berries. The other volunteers were so nice and fun to be around, and I especially loved the community house where we could all relax and spend time together in the evenings. The vegetarian food was so good that, even as a meat eater, I didn't miss meat at all. All in all, I can definetely recommend this host.

I spent two wonderful weeks at the host. Lia and the other staff members are very kind and welcoming, you can feel that they really care about the wellbeing of the volunteers. The working hours were always respected and I felt truly appreciated for my work. The nature surrounding the B&B and Café is stunning, I loved going for walks in the forest and swimming in the lake. It was really great to connect with the other volunteers and spend time with each other. Also, the food was always incredible! I can definitely recommend this experience and would love to come back one day! :)

My first Worldpackers experience - and it couldn't have been better! From the very beginning, I felt incredibly welcome - the entire team is super friendly, open and helpful. the host is beautifully located in the middle of nature- perfect for relaxing, walking by the lake, or cycling in the surrounding area. The work was varied and really enjoyable thanks to the great team. Highlights: Delicious food, relaxed atmosphere and the lake so close by. Thank you so much for this wonderful time - I am very grateful that I was able to be with you!!

I had a great time at the host! The staff and volunteers were all very kind, the staff areas were amazing and I loved the food and the cakes:) The work is also what I expected. A lot of different tasks like cleaning, some cutting and preparing the b&bs. Also the nature is very beautiful!

I absolute loved my stay at the host, it was magical . All the tasks were exactly as agreed upon and never exceeded five hours. I learned so much about vegetarian cuisine, as well as about the beauty of southern Sweden. Lia is incredibly kind and understanding, always happy to adapt to personal wishes and needs. The whole team is wonderful,everyone is dedicated to their work and shares their passion with the volunteers. There are also plenty of opportunities to connect with fellow travelers! Really recommend this to anyone who wants a little peace and quiet!! 🫶
