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 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! :))

This place was the perfect choice for my first experience. Sonja the farm a very kind person who truly loves her animals and does everything for them – and also for us. She taught us so much about farming, cooked delicious lunches, and shared many interesting stories. We worked twice a day (taking care of horses, cows, sheep, and goats, and also milking the goats and the cow), and we could choose which day we wanted to take a rest day. I could also practice my German, because Sonja spoke to me in German. I'm really grateful for this experience and would definitely recommend this place

Sonja made me feel right at home with how kind she was - always making sure us volunteers were doing okay during the volunteering and checking in on us in the evening by inviting us for a drink and a chat. The animals were amazing and so well behaved (I will especially miss Fiona who was so patient and still when we were learning how to milk the goats) and affectionate, which can only be as a result of how much Sonja cares for them (obviously I'll miss Barbie, Mia, and Bonnie too). I learnt so much whilst staying here, and will forever be grateful for Sonjas kindness and wisdom ❤️

The work the farm easy and fun and you fell in love with every animal. i have learned to milk, put fences, feed the animals…I won't forget this experience.
