The experience

Same position - but for shorter time.

We live on a small farm in Austria called Guat-is-Hof. We have many animals: cows, sheep, goats, horses, chickens, dogs and cats. Volunteers help with daily animal care and small farm tasks. Cultural exchange is important to us. This position is the same as our other listing but helps us find last-minute volunteers. I try to host two female volunteers at the same time so you have company in your free time.

Program Details

This position is the same as my other volunteer position.
The difference is that I use this one to fill small booking gaps in the calendar, usually for volunteers who can stay less than 3 weeks. This helps me make sure there are always two volunteers on the farm at the same time.

The work is mostly with animals: feeding, giving water, cleaning the stables, milking, moving electric fences for the pastures, and other daily farm tasks.

We also help with many small jobs around the farm.


Rules

We only host females volunteers.
