Artistic farm in Vinica, Slovenia

This was my first experience with worldpackers and it was amazing! Vivien is really considerate of every volunteer, and you can always tell him how you're feeling throughout your stay. The shared spaces we lived in were very cozy and comfortable. There's a lot of free time and a nice river near where we swam, but there's always some work to do if you get bored! Daily tasks are feeding the animals and renovating the second house. Mistakes happen when you try something new, and Vivien knows that, so don't worry if you make a mistake!

Me and my friend stayed here for 2 weeks and it was great! Vivien is welcoming and has a big heart- he is understanding and patient even when we made a lot of mistakes! We learnt a lot of skills including gardening, plastering, painting, sanding etc and the work hours are very flexible and we had a lot of free time. The animals are very cute also! would definitely recommend for those wanting to reconnect with nature and a break from the city! beware of the mosquitoes though🦟

An unforgettable experience in a beautiful Slovenian setting. This small the farm offered the perfect mix of creativity, learning, and community. I picked up valuable life skills like plastering, painting, and animal care, all in a supportive and inspiring environment. The people were warm and welcoming, with fun games and immersive story times that made every day special. Couldn't recommend it more, a truly enriching experience!

My girlfriend and I visited Vivien's farm, and it was perfect. It was a great way to escape city life and enjoy nature. I learned many useful skills such as gardening, painting, plastering, basic electrical work, sanding, caring for animals, and so much more. I loved spending time with the cuddly cats and kittens😸. Vivien is warm, generous and welcoming, and we felt at home from the start. Work hours were flexible, and afternoons by the river were relaxing. The atmosphere was chill, and I met many nice people. I'd recommend this volunteering to anyone looking for something fun and meaningful.

Vivien was so kind and accommodating to everything. The farm is cozy, very calm and star gazing in the evenings was one of my favorite parts. The work is easy and flexible giving you lots of time for rest if needed. You can learn a lot here:) I recommend this experience for people who prefer being in nature, like quiet spaces and are independent!

My friend and I had the opportunity to volunteer with a truly wonderful host Vivien who was kind and always willing to help. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming from the start, and the food was absolutely delicious. We also had the chance to learn many new things, like planting …. It was our first experience and an amazing experience that we would highly recommend to anyone.

This experience was amazing and I would definitely recommend! Vivien is the most welcoming host, he is very funny and you can see he loves people; and John and Alex are both amazing human beings. Everyone could work at their rythm and you could absolutely see a sense of community with everyone who lived/worked at the farm. You never feel left out or dismissed, and it was really satisfying seeing all the work getting done around the garden and the house. In conclusion don't hesitate to join the project ;)

I visited Vivian and his farm together with a friend and we had such a nice experience there. The surroundings are so beautiful and the work is doable. We learned some amazing things, for example how to build shelves or bake bread. All the people there were really nice. We already miss the animals so much, especially the cats who were so cuddly.
