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 !

I had a really good time at the farm. Olle was super nice and gave us so many opportunitiy to do things together and experience the local life. Working was also good and all the people we're welcomoing. I actually came on really short notice, but that was no problem at all, which was perfekt. If someone likes to work in a small group independently and ist open to try a lot of new things, this places is great :)

I have had some experiences so far using worldpackers and I have to say, this experience has been wonderful! Ollov warmly welcomed us in his home. The shifts with the cows are flexible and once you get used to it, it becomes easy to do. Everyone at the farm is amazing. Åke, Maria, Jasper and Anders have been very helpful and easy to communicate with. For everyone who wants to visit though, keep in mind that the farm is a very simplistic and rustic place, but that's part of the experience. I will always miss the two cats and I hope I get to visit again soon! :)

Highly recommended. The place is wonderful and the people there even more, they treat you super well and take care of you. Olov, Ake, Maria, Jasper and Anders are wonderful people who make you have a great stay. The place is super nice, you are very close to many lakes to see and for the things that are a bit further away Olov lets you take the car, something that I doubt in other volunteer placements. The work you have to do with the cows is a bit hard, but it has a very good timetable so you can take advantage of it and visit things. Thank you very much for everything.

It was my first volunteering experience, and it exceeded my expectations. I would do it again.The house is big, with a lot of bedrooms for volunteers. I improved my English. We followed a cleaning schedule, and the house stayed tidy. Olov always suggested fun plans like canoeing, bonfires, visiting pubs, lakes, hiking trails, and museums.He even let us use the car. The house had many instruments: pianos, guitars, bass, ukulele, trumpet, etc.We learned a lot about cows from Oque, Marie, Jasper, and Anders. They love their job and always helped us. This experience was wonderful and recommended

I loved the stay and I loved the host Olov!!! He is genuinely a really kind person with many talents! You will also learn a lot on the farm whether it be gardening, farming, or with repairs. The area around the farm has beaches, lakes, and events going on that made it a really fun time.

I've stayed at the farm for 3 weeks and it was totally wonderful experience. Since I live in a big city and sometimes get tired of all the rush, it was great for me to get proper rest. I've learned a lot, e. x. how to the farm the cows, how to take care of them etc. All the workers were very nice, respected me and appreciated my work. One and probably the only thing I can complain about is that the house is kinda messy, be ready for an insane amount of flies in the house. Thanks to Olov for this opportunity, I enjoyed it a lot and I would definitely consider going here again :)
