The experience was very mixed from the beginning. The accommodation was far from clean and the kitchen was not tidy. However the rooms themselves were fine and the bathroom was ok. The work is decent and fair and also flexible so if you want to do something one day or take a break it is not an issue. The hosts were very kind, even loaning us their car so we could go see a few things nearby and offering to take me and other volunteers out to experience the Swedish social life. We even enjoyed an Easter lunch together. The town is quiet, small, and surrounded by nature.

My stay here was very good! Olov is very funny and always ready to help. I think the tidiness and cleanliness of the house could be improved, but otherwise everything was great. The work is very physical but you learn a lot there, everyone is very communicative and cares about you learning.

Yes there is a huge load on the house the volouteers should clean up their own mess. The house been cleaned ftom the roof to the floor many times but degrade because we do not understaind how much one person contribute to the degradation just by living in the house. It is not enough to take away your own bread crumbs each person need to do at least one hour of concentrated cleaning every week. It is in the contract 25 hours of farmwork and outside of that contribute to a zero degradation of the place where you live.

I stayed at Olov's farm for one week in december and I really enjoyed it! Olov was very welcoming and showed me around Söderhamn and the farm. He was only at the farm on the weekend but thoughout the week he was often checking in on us to see if everything was alright and when we had any problems he was always easy to reach. The working hours were flexible and all the tasks were explained well so working with the cows was really fun. Thank you so much to Olov and his family for this experiance!

Hey! This experience was my first ever volunteering experience abroad. I really appreciate Olov because he really wants you to learn new skills and is very supporting in you doing so. Also his brother Åke and Jesper, who you will work with if you decide to work with the cows, are wonderful. They are very patient with you and communicate well. Olov provided everything I needed (working clothes, shower gel, ...) and really made me feel at home. Because the house is old you will have to prepare for a lot of cleaning but I think thats just what comes with living on a farm. Thank you Olov!

The experience was excellent, the host and the people there really nice and kind. The only bad thing is that at this time of the year with the weather conditions, the farm was kind of isolated and shops closed early so there was no social life. However, I enjoyed the experience q lot!

This was an amazing experience! I got to see how the farm life is and I loved it☺️ The tasks were fun and not very difficult, they gave us good instructions beforehand and made sure we were comfortable with the work. There is a lot to clean in the house, it gets dirty very quickly, but if you work well together as a group it's not a problem at all☺️ We we're provided with food for all meals and we could choose what we wanted to eat. Olov, Åke and Maria are very nice and they make sure you have a good stay. If you want to experience farm life this is a place you absolutely should visit!

Olle was a great host and I really enjoyed my time here! The work is very flexible and you get to pick what you want to do which was nice. I recommend to anyone looking for a farm like experience.

This experience was truly amazing!! It was my first volunteer experience and it definitely couldn't have been in a better place. Olle isn't at the farm soma days, but he is very attentive to what we need and is very flexible with the task that have to be done. He always lets the volunteers participate in what they like and patiently teaches you what you don't know how to do. If you really want to live an experience that allows you to meet people, work independently and be close to nature, this experience is a great option.

I've been with many hosts and I always tell them before leaving that thank you so much for the food, for the hospitality, for teaching me and for everything, (my mom taught me that way) but I've a particular love for some hosts that I appreciate much they gave me love, respect, care and affection I'd love to say it before I say goodbye because this's the end of this learning, I had fun so much, I never knew what my host would write about me until the end, but I tell everyone that I believe in God and God sees every act we do, so thank to all for the opportunities, a hug, we love OLOV too much

Olov is one of the funniest people I've met in my travels all around the world ; he's the definition of a true Swede! His love for his history and his family is so obvious and I found it really endearing. He's also a vessel of the broadest amount of knowledge - he always has an answer to any issue we came across and taught me the important of perseverance when solving problems. I got to shadow him for the majority of my time and I feel so lucky that he shared so much of his knowledge with me during my stay. Thankyou so much Olov!!!
