The Experience

The afternoon shift in the barn between 15 and 20. 5 shifts a week shift is sometimes on weekends. This is for you that do now want to work early mornings. Outside the shift you are supposed to take care of the house and the garden where you live as if it was your own. Practically you need to do 20 minutes daily cleaning tasks as vacuum the floors and clean the bathroom because you are living in the house, it is not a hotel.

Olov's warm hospitality made his farm a welcoming home. I loved choosing tasks & learned from planning gardens to milking cows! We explored beyond the farm with church visit, scenic drive & hike. Olov's delicious, home-cooked dishes and decadent desserts were a delightful surprise. For future Worldpackers: The farm's charm is rustic, so you might find something needing a fix. Just mention it to Olov - he's open to suggestions and might even welcome the help! Overall, it was a truly unforgettable experience.

Olov is a very good person and a super friendly guy who always smiles, he always took me to the gym and brought me back, he left the car for us whenever we needed them to go to Soderharm to do something. The only bad thing, to say the least, is that the house was dirty, otherwise everything was fine.

Part 2/2 Moreover Olov always pay attention that we are several activities to do. He also always makes sure that there is enough food for everyone. The place is really beautiful (specially in winter with the snow !). We met wonderful people there and we had a really good time ! 🫶🏻

The farm was such good fun and I found the local area and nature absolutely stunning. Olov was really helpful in making sure there were things to do and took us skiing, lake skating and even to karaoke! Everyone in the house pulled their weight and took part in the running of the house and putting food on the table. Highly recommend to anyone coming to Sweden!

My experience at the farm was amazing!! I had a wonderful time working with the cows and with the other people. Olov and the farm team made me feel at home. Everything was fantastic and I hope to do again :)
