Økogård Ærø
We run our farm with a very positive atmosphere. We love working with nature and enjoy sharing our experiences. Ærø is a dreamlike, wonderful island in the Danish South Seas (Baltic Sea) with many opportunities to enjoy nature and the sea. We value a high level of self-motivation and interest in agricultural work.
We are filmmakers who originally lived in Hamburg, Germany. In 2020 we moved to Ærø to have more positive nature experiences in our lives. In addition to growing vegetables in our market garden, we started growing wine four years ago. We also launched the “Farmers Market Ærø” community project, which started in May 2024. Volunteers can expect to learn a lot about organic farming and winemaking in Denmark.

About the experience in: Søby, Denmark
South Africa
As my first WorldPackers experience this was a perfect fit and an unforgettable experience. The apartment has everything and is very homey! Working on the vineyard was tough but rewarding! Guido and Silvia are such amazing people and have so many amazing stories. I spent most of my time with Guido. The island is very small and there is not much going on, but it is a nice escape from big city life. I was the only WorldPacker there and often would be working by myself. I think with more people there to explore and work with would make the experience even better! Thank you for having me!

It's hard to put into words how wonderful my time at the farm was. Silvia and Guido are such lively, open-minded and inspiring people and I learned so much from them. Not only about sustainable winegrowing, but also about growing vegetables, herbs and all sorts of plants in their beatiful garden. I could ask questions anytime and they answered them with such patience and knowledge. I'll miss our conversations, in which Silvia and Guido shared valuable life lessons with me that I'll never forget. I am incredibly grateful and can wholeheartly recommend this experience. ❤️

My stay at the farm was amazing. Silvia and Guido were really nice hosts, they made us feel very welcome. They explained the work we had to do very well and provided interesting information about the project and the nature around us. In our free time we had the chance to rent bikes from them and explore the beautiful island. Thank you for the fun and amazing time.

I had a wonderful time at the farm. Silvia and Guido were really kind and welcoming hosts who always ensured our wellbeing and made the time i spent there even better. Our work was mostly working in the big garden to get it ready for summer, but also painting and cleaning. In the afternoons and on our days off we had lots of time to explore the island. Thank you so much for this amazing and enriching experience.

This was my first experience and it was very enriching. Silvia and Guido are very friendly, with lots to share and a great deal of dedication behind their project. They explained everything to us in detail so that we could do our best in the vineyard. Also they took the time to answer our questions about gardening so we could apply it to our lives, which is very important! the farm is spectacular and was covered in snow. It's peaceful and out of a fairy tale. Thank you for welcoming me to your beautiful farm for two weeks and allowing me to be part of your daily life. Thank you!!
