Sweden
I really enjoyed my time at the farm where the horses and other animals are treated with so much respect and care. The work is mucking out, feeding and giving water to the horses etc.. It is physically hard work but very rewarding. Food is super delicious. The living area is rustic and simple. At the farm you will have alot of time to think and reflect and in the freetime you can go to the beach, go to the taverna, go to the church and go on walks. I stayed for 7 weeks but could have stayed longer. Elin

I stayed at the farm with Amanda and Stathis for 2 weeks to put up a fence. Overall was an amazing opportunity to truly experience the local day to day. It is obvious that these animals are cared for at the highest possible level and they are always at the forefront of the farm's decisions. I felt the experience was advertised well and didn't have any surprises with accommodations. If you are comfortable in the elements and enjoy nature than this will be a perfect fit!

I had a wonderful time at Amanda's! the ponies (and the other animals) are more than well cared for, you can really see that Amanda and Stathis are real animal lovers & have dedicated their life to this project, very inspiring! not only their animals are treated with respect, but it's the same with us volunteers, I felt very welcome. the work is fair and easy but still important (e.g. mucking out, filling up waters). unfortunately, i injured my ankle and decided to leave to get treatment (I've had problems with this before, so i had to be careful). Amanda was very understanding & supportive:)

Stella we really hope your ankle heals well and it was a pleasure to host you here . Just a sadness that it couldn't have been for longer.
Take good care and heal well.

My time at Amanda's and Stathis' is incredible! I extended my stay and I'm still here, enjoying great company and the island's and farm's calmness. Amanda and Stathis are genuinely nice people, treat their volunteers with a lot of respect and don't let you feel exploited at any time. The work is meaningful and quite easy. It's majorly about mucking out the fields, but also common farm jobs (e.g. weeding, pruning). Volunteers share a room, which is basic, but has everything one needs and it's really enjoyable when you get along with your roommates :). Good+enough food is provided! Go there!

Host was not there to greet me on my first day, I was not given much information on my arrival. After travelling for 15 hours I was not offered any food or drink. I was taken straight to work all evening with no equipment provided. I was left alone the first night where the existing volunteers left me to go to a place to eat and I was not invited and was told that there was food in the fridge, this was watery pasta that was cold. I was left alone that night completley with no clue of the area. The next morning I was again taken straight to work with still not meeting my host and no food.
