The Experience

On our farm, goats, sheep, cows, horses, chickens, cats, and dogs are waiting to meet you! There’s always plenty to do, so I’d really appreciate a helping hand. A warm and fun atmosphere is super important to me — we work hard, but have fun at all. You should really love animals and feel comfortable around dogs. The work can be physically demanding, so being fit is a plus. You’ll have your own cozy little guest house to relax in after work.

This was our first experience with Worldpackers, and we couldn't have asked for anything better! As soon as we got there, we felt so welcomed. Sonja explained everything to us so clearly and was always so kind and patient that we never worried about making mistakes. She's such an incredible woman to look up to, who always laughs at life, indeed working with her the farm so much fun! During our stay, we learned so many things about agriculture, farm life and animals; it was truly enriching. We already miss al the lovely animals, the amazing landscapes, and the cozy guesthouse.

I felt very safe and comfortable during my stay on the farm in Austria. I had the opportunity to learn a lot, she was incredibly kind —she explained many things to me, which I especially appreciated since I want to become a veterinarian. She also took great care of us, buying whatever we needed from the supermarket and even cooking meals (always making a special vegetarian option for me). I truly loved the experience! The only thing to keep in mind (just for those who might not like or get scared, like me 😅) the farm that there are quite a lot of spiders in the guesthouse. Thanks for everything!🫶

This place the farm perfect for those who want to experience farm life. Sonja was always happy to tell us about how things work, explained everything in great details and showed us every tasks. She was also making great lunches and always respected our days off without hesitations. In the evenings we usually talked with her and her partner, sharing fun stories and memories. The surroundings are beautiful and really calm and the animals were adorable! . We were usually working 3-4 hours in the morning and another 2-3 in the evening and had the afternoons free for walking around or just resting.

Amazing experience! The animals are wonderful, and Sonja puts so much energy and care into looking after them. She the farm truly an inspiring woman! Free time the farm respected, and my favorite moments during it were just relaxing with the cats (so cute). Sonja and Anton also included us in chats, sharing of knowledge, drinks and evenings so enjoyable. Hope to come back! :))
