Highly recommended. It is an experience that you have to do if you want to do it. The place is wonderful and the people there even more, they treat you super well and take care of you. Olov, Ake, Maria, Jasper and Anders are wonderful people who make you have a great stay. The place is super nice, you are very close to many lakes to see and for the things that are a bit further away Olov lets you take the car, something that I doubt in other volunteer placements. Thank you very much for everything!!

It was my first volunteering experience, and it exceeded my expectations. I would do it again.The house is big, with a lot of bedrooms for volunteers. I improved my English. We followed a cleaning schedule, and the house stayed tidy. Olov always suggested fun plans like canoeing, bonfires, visiting pubs, lakes, hiking trails, and museums.He even let us use the car. The house had many instruments: pianos, guitars, bass, ukulele, trumpet, etc.We learned a lot about cows from Oque, Marie, Jasper, and Anders. They love their job and always helped us. This experience was wonderful and recommended

I loved the stay and I loved the host Olov!!! He is genuinely a really kind person with many talents! You will also learn a lot on the farm whether it be gardening, farming, or with repairs. The area around the farm has beaches, lakes, and events going on that made it a really fun time.

I've stayed at the farm for 3 weeks and it was totally wonderful experience. Since I live in a big city and sometimes get tired of all the rush, it was great for me to get proper rest. I've learned a lot, e. x. how to the farm the cows, how to take care of them etc. All the workers were very nice, respected me and appreciated my work. One and probably the only thing I can complain about is that the house is kinda messy, be ready for an insane amount of flies in the house. Thanks to Olov for this opportunity, I enjoyed it a lot and I would definitely consider going here again :)

10/10 would recommend. Going to the farm was the best decision I made in my life. I stayed there for 3 months and not a single day I felt like wanting to leave early. I met so many amazing people, both volunteers and locals. I learn so much and had so many opportunities to improve as a person. The hardest part of the work was waking up really early some days. Working with the cows take some getting used to, but it's worth it at the end of the day. The contact with nature, the lakes, the sea, the sunset, the beautiful cities. Summer in Sweden was a paradise.

I really loved my stay at this place, all the people were really nice and Olov loved to show us around and take us to beautiful lakes and beaches. There was always good music, so if you like karaoke or dancing - I can guarantee that you will have loads of fun here. It's true that there's a lot of stuff in the house but it's possible to still live comfortably there plus we all had our own rooms. Working hours were respected and very flexible for people like me who worked in the garden :) Saying goodbye was hard and I wish I could've stayed longer.

My first time volunteering and it has been extraordinary. The work with the cows is easy and the workers are lovely. The common areas of the house are very nice and I loved how cozy my room was. We did a lot of planning and the other volunteers I met were amazing. I recommend this experience to everyone, it was perfect. Everything was easy and they are always looking to make you feel comfortable at all times 😍😍

I had a wonderful and pretty life-changing time at the farm. I mainly did carpentry like building plant supports, an area for crops, a house for wild bees, repairing a door, a box for crops, cows, DROVE THE TRACTOR! Highlights were Midsommar and an incredible folk music festival called Bingsjöstämman. In my free time I played the piano, canoed in the lake, drew outside, and enjoyed nature. An authentic farm experience for those who aren't afraid of getting dirty! Volunteers were great and we even threw a small kitchen party for my farewell which was so much fun. I made some great memories!
