I was at the farm for three weeks, but I had so much fun it looked like just a couple of days. Volunteering here is a great deal to deeply connect with nature, but also to immerse yourself in Bavarian culture: Sabine and Manfred brought me very often to folkloristic parties where I had the opportunity to speak a lot of German. Tasks are easy, shifts are respected and falling in love with their animals is so easy! Last but not least, Manfred's cooking was exceptional. I definitely recommend this experience and hope to come back as soon as possible.

My experience at Sabine and Manfred's farm was peaceful and full of personal reflection. Although I came as a volunteer, I received much more: a cultural exchange, kindness, and patience. The farm, surrounded by animals and nature, is the perfect place to disconnect and gain clarity. I felt very welcomed by their friends. Manfred's food is delicious, and his apple liquor is absolutely 🤯. Would I recommend it? Of course, I absolutely would! I would love to return if I have the chance!

The farm has a variety of different animals and tasks to do. The day is normally divided into two shifts: one in the morning and one in the afternoon. It's a very unforgettable experience and I loved spending time with the animals! Normally, the hosts cook for us which is very nice and the food is delicious. Although they eat meat from the farm, they can also cater to vegetarians. Communication was a bit tricky in the beginning, but I figured as time passes it gets better :)

The work can be tiring but it's simple, the location of the farm is beautiful and quiet, the hours of work are pretty much respected, and Manfred was almost always cooking for us. The farm has a lot of animals other than lamas and camels (horses, sheep, goats, chickens and more), and some of these animals are used for meat. Manfred and Sabine were overall quite nice hosts, I personally didn't like the strict rules, and that we had to pay for laundry, but maybe that's a cultural difference. All in all, it was an unforgettable experience and I recommend it to anybody who loves animals!

I enjoyed a lot my stay in the farm! I learnt about caring for a wide variety of animals and i spent a lot of time in the nature, the peace you feel there is truly pleasant! The hosts, Sabine and Manfred, have a fabulous sense of humor and they are really funny and generous, i felt completely part of the house and i'm very grateful for that! The food also was amazing! The task are really simple with animals, on the morning you have to do the cleaning, taking outside, and then in the afternoon feeding and taking animals back inside. I would definitively come back to this place.

Sabine and Manfred were welcoming hosts, and their home and landscape are truly stunning. The animals are a joy to work with, though you must be confident around large ones. The work environment is strict for safety reasons, and the hosts told us they might yell during stressful or fast-paced moments which is part of the work culture. At times, we were asked to work beyond agreed hours during busy events. Overall its a good experience if you love animals and have handling experience, this can be a rewarding place, but it's not for everyone.

The place is really nice, is a rural area with pine forest and a lot of other farms. The animals are adorable, the camels, the llamas, the goats and cats are just really sweet. I wasnt prepared for the size of the horses, they are REALLY big and this was a lot scary for me. The job consist in handling the animals, which means clean them, their poops and make sure thay have food/water and put them to the fields. We also had a few walkings with the llamas. Not an easy job, but also is not hard. But it can be very demanding on your mind. Good food. Sadly it didnt work out so well for me.

At first, it can be a bit challenging if you're not used to being around animals, but over time you build a beautiful bond with them. The tasks included feeding, grooming, taking the animals in and out of the pens, catching llamas (fun and tricky!), and going on walks with them. The food was delicious. There are forests nearby for walking and bikes available to explore nearby towns. A very special experience—perfect for nature and animals lovers.

Sabine an Manfred welcome you to their house and it feels like your own! They lend you clothes if necessary and the boots for work. It's really cold so I would suggest using thermic clothing and also old ones since you work outside with the animals. Flip flops to be around the house are recommended!! The food is excellent and they are always open to get you to the train station in case you want to visit another city :)
