The Experience

We need your help around our daily life (farm, house, garden). If you like to cook, that would be great, too. Usually, you work from 8 - 11 with the animals (cleaning, taking outside) and then in the afternoon (feeding, taking animals back). Sometimes, we have visitors during the day. Walks with our dogs are highly appreciated! You should not be afraid of being around big animals like camels or horses because you will really take care of them.

Sabine and Manfred are incredible hosts! They were always super welcoming, generous and patient. On the farm you get a lot of opportunities to bond with the animals and as someone with almost no experience you learn really quickly how to care for them and be confident. The entire experience is very clear from the beginning and Sabine is excellent at answering any questions. I got to spend the holidays in their home as well which made my time feel extra special. I would recommend any animal lover to stay here

Gratitude and love describe my experience perfectly. Sabine and Manfred were more than hosts , they truly felt like family. I always felt welcomed and included, and through different activities I had the chance to connect with the local culture. The work is easy, the first few days might feel a bit challenging, but you learn very quickly. Spending time with the animals, caring for them with love and responsibility, became part of my daily life. The food was delicious, and spending Christmas there felt magical. Sharing this experience with other volunteers made it even more special 💚💚

I had an amazing experience during my 15-day stay. Manfred and Sabine are incredibly warm, caring, and attentive hosts. They take great care of the volunteers, always making sure everyone feels comfortable and welcome. The meals were delicious, and they shared wonderful conversations. The work with the animals and around the farm was meaningful and enjoyable, and the environment is peaceful and beautiful. I felt very safe, respected, and appreciated throughout my stay. I am truly grateful for this experience and highly recommend this place to other volunteers.

The farm is a great place for a first experience with animals. They can be imposing, so it's important not to be afraid, but you'll end up loving them. Sabine and Manfred are very kind and always willing to listen, and I appreciated how thankful they are to their volunteers. They also have pigs, sheep, and chickens for their own use, so if you're vegetarian or sensitive about that, keep in mind that they handle everything on the farm. However, they are very understanding and will let you take a break during that time. Despite this, I had a really fun stay and learned a lot from the experience

What an incredible experience! My trip to the lama farm was very last minute but Manfred and Sabine gladly took me in and quickly made me feel welcome. I learned so much and had several first time experiences (like brushing camels and driving a horse carriage through the forest). I also had plenty of time to relax and do what made me happy (like reading on the porch, walking to town, riding a bike, going out to the “disco” - thanks Manfred:)
