Dobro-družný statek

Choose our place if you want a calm, countryside experience with meaningful, hands-on work. You’ll help in our seasonal vegetable garden and, if you’re interested, with a few animals (chickens and pigs). You’ll stay in a cozy maringotka (shepherd’s wagon) with your own kitchen, so you can cook for yourself—often using fresh ingredients straight from the garden. We also host Airbnb guests, so you can optionally help with light tasks like cleaning and preparing the accommodation between stays.

We’re a friendly couple who enjoys meeting people from different countries and sharing everyday life in the Czech countryside. Volunteers can expect to be treated with respect, clear communication, and a fair, relaxed approach to work—no rushing, no pressure. You’ll have plenty of free time to relax and enjoy the surroundings, nature, and the views. We also love when volunteers use the opportunity to learn more about our culture—and we’d be happy if you share a little of yours too.

I couldn't have had a better time volunteering with Marek and Ivana! The work was well-communicated and very reasonable, as well as fun and rewarding. I also learned about farming and preparing food to be sold in markets. But more importantly, Marek and Ivana have a knack for creating community and made me feel so welcome— in sharing their food and their company with me to inviting me along for meals with friends and family, I felt cared for, respected, and included. I'd recommend to anyone wanting to be in nature and to meet some wonderful people. Thank you for this amazing opportunity! 🌸🩷

Marek and Ivana are both very friendly host once you get to know them, the place (Airbnb, farm) that they run are very unique and peaceful, if you're looking for nature and farm work then I definitely would recommend them, you can learn to feed some animals and harvesting many different kind of vegetables! Marek knows alot about animals as well and making wine himself, I've even got the chance to help him to prepare grapes for wine! I enjoyed the interaction with the animals and the beautiful place :)

Marek and Ivana has a very beautiful farm, with a lovely energy, and very peaceful. You definitely connect with nature, and also really get a feel of Czech culture, which was so lovely for me to experience and learn a little about. Marek and Ivana are very sweet and warm people, and I can definitely recommend people to go here. It was very lovely 🌼🌸🌱🌞

I had a great time on the farm! Ivana and Marek really try to make the lifes of the volunteers as comfortable as possible. I got to have a room to myself and only had to share the kitchen and bathroom with the other volunteers. Every now and then they cooked great food for us like their amazing pizza. The work was pretty easy as it mostly contained pulling weeds, feeding the animals and harvesting vegetables. I do have to say that the workload was a bit more than communicated, but this was mostly because there was a wedding taking place and there were more things that needed to be prepared.

I had such a fun four weeks with Marek, Ivana, the other volunteers, and all the cute animals! The tasks, such as feeding animals, watering plants, weeding, harvesting vegetables, and cleaning, were fun and not too difficult.

Marek and Ivana were very kind and friendly, and the vegetables they grow were delicious. I highly recommend this volunteer experience!
