The Experience

If you're not a morning person, this afternoon barn shift from 3 pm to 8 pm is perfect for you. You'll help 5 shifts a week, sometimes including weekends. Beyond your shift, we ask that you care for the house and garden where you live as if they were your own. Just 30 minutes of daily cleaning—vacuuming and whiping floors and tidying the bathroom—keeps the space comfortable for everyone.

It was a wonderful experience at the farm! We learnt many things about gardening and the farm life, the place was really cool, away from the city, so It was a great occasion to get in contact with nature. During our free time we were able to explore the areas near the house, da couple of trekkings and also swim in the lake! The only thing that you need to keep in mind is that the house is not really tidy and that it gets dirty quite easily with many people but with some good will you will get used to it and you will surely enjoy your days at the farm.

The experience has been fantastic. The schedules and tasks are flexible and not very difficult. Olov suggests activities in the area so you can enjoy the local culture. The only thing I'd mention is that there's a lack of cleanliness and order, which can be a bit surprising at first… but overall, a very good experience.

Overall, the experience was pleasant. The relationship with the other volunteers was wonderful, as was that with Olov, Jasper, Maria Ake, and Andresch. The work was dynamic and stimulating. I would only recommend paying more attention to cleanliness and order, but Olov's hospitality was wonderful, almost like being at home.

Volunteering in Sweden has been one of the most enriching experiences of my life. From the very first day, I was welcomed with warm gestures and the genuine hospitality of Swedish culture. The host was incredibly kind, respectful, and made me feel like a part of the family. The work was fair, well-organized, and gave me the chance to learn new skills while still having time to explore nature and reflect on myself. Being surrounded by such peaceful landscapes brought me the mental clarity I had been craving.I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to reconnect with nature !

The experience was very good. At first, I was a bit shocked by how messy the house was, but in the end, you get used to it. I worked in the garden so the working hours were very flexible.
