The Experience

Perfect for early risers, this opportunity lets you help in the morning and enjoy your afternoons free. Your tasks include feeding, milking, cleaning, and bedding the animals, starting at 5 am and finishing by 10 am. Our animals need care 7 days a week, so your dedication is key. Outside helping hours, treat your living space as your own with just 20 minutes of daily cleaning—vacuuming floors and keeping the bathroom tidy.

My experience in the farm has been incredible. The work was very simple, and I always felt a great sense of freedom to enjoy my free time however I wanted. Olov also helped me get more deeply involved in Swedish culture—something I would have never experienced as a tourist. I'm truly grateful for this amazing experience and I hope to return soon!

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

This experience was truly special! I met incredible people. Thanks to them, I learned the art of milking and so much more. They were super kind, patient. Beyond the work, I got to try amazing things snowboarding, ski touring Big thanks to Olov, Maria, Oké, Jasper, and Anders for welcoming me and helping me learn milking I'm really grateful for it!

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 !
