Calling early birds! Take care of cows on a Swedish farmstead

Italy

5

It was a unique experience. Working with the cows was fun and also painting the windows. I met nice people with whom I shared so many experiences. It was nice to cook and eat every time all together. The farm is big and it is surrounded by beautiful natural landscapes. Olle was a very helpful and sharing person.

This was my first experience with worldpackers, so it was all new for me but i was very lucky. Everything was fantastic and Olle was engaging and always had new ideas to keep us entertained. With the bikes at our disposal i was able to explore many places near the farm and all the lakes are so beautiful. Working with the cows was a wonderful experience that i hope to do again soon

My first experience with Worldpackers was wonderful, choosing the farm to take care of the animals made me feel at home, Mr. Olle together with the whole family and the farm's staff are wonderful and welcoming people, they are patient and know how to teach, I hope to be able to return in near future

My experience at the farm was super enriching, Olov and the people who work with the cows are very kind and good people. The work is fun, and that in our free time we went with the bikes to different lakes, with the canoe, beaches and cafeterias, as well as to the town to second-hand stores, ice skating and bars. I highly recommend it, I really enjoyed the experience.

Olle was a great host, very appreciative, fun and made me feel at home from the start! He's always willing to take us on different trips, and there's a bike/car available to explore the area, where, if you look, you'll find plenty of amazing places to see. I worked with the cows which I really enjoyed. Ake and Maria were amazing, knowledgeable, welcoming people who taught me a lot. The work is physical so be prepared to work hard and be rewarded with the farm cats, cows and routine coffee breaks! Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better experience, a better group of people, or host <3

I did not realize, there was no review written for Ellie until she came back. I was totally sure I wrote one. I think the webpage might have crashed. She is the best volounteer ever. Always on time to her shift. Doing the work perfect taking responsibility for everything. If you give her a daily task it will be done and never forgotten.

It has been an unforgettable experience, Olle is a unique person, there is no time to get bored with him. Upon arrival we had to spend a couple of days in Uppsala, and he recommended a lot of places to visit in the city and taking us to an ABBA tribute concert, once at the farm, he also offered us his help with all the questions we had and take us for a many events in the near cities. The volunteers with whom I have coincided have been my best coincidence, and from all of them I take an important lesson, in the end we became a small family that continues to be connected in the distance.

My experience was way beyond my expectations. I want to thank my host Olle for his open-mindness and inclusiveness. Olle has a kind heart, always invested in creating and enabling cultural experiences for the volunteers. Everything I needed during my 2 week stay was provided by Olle. Because of his willingness to inform, guide and advise, especially on nature and local culture, this was a most transformative experience for me. His laissez-faire approach gave much space for our group to develop our own dynamics. My co-volunteers are amazing people and we remain in contact after leaving.

Olov is a great host and none of the volunteers have had any communication or agreement issues. The tasks are not difficult, but if you are not working with the cows, expect to have a dynamic environment, as tasks can change according to the farm priority. But that is actually really nice, as you will have the opportunity to learn new things every week, and always treated with respect even when you don't really know what you are doing. Always ask, communication is really important and they are willing to repeat the same information 5 times if you didn't understand the first time.

It's like a university dorm, so the other volunteers and I became like a family. The work was chill, and still left plenty of time to explore the nearby town or lakes. It is in the countryside, but town isn't far away, and can be reached by bike or bus. Olle was great, he makes delicious jam, and knows the local events and cultural things. 100% would recommend.
