I started two weeks on the farm and it was a great and meaningful experience! The place is beautiful, overlooking the mountains. Both Robin and Leonora taught me a lot about this lifestyle, the beauty of it and also the challenges but in the end it's truly fulfilling!

I've done this as my first worldpacker experience and I couldn't have been happier. The place is amazing and very peaceful. I learnt a lot about gardening and vegetables. Robin and Eleonora are very interesting people to talk to and he makes delicious vegan food. I met wonderful people here

I had a great time with Robin and Leonora. The agreed work hours were respected and I felt that my help was appreciated. There were communication issues sometimes but no hard feelings. Robin puts alot of effort into making the volunteers happy and he makes sure your tasks fit your abilities.

It was my pleasure having Max with us because he was very dedicated and reliable worker. He is calm and respectful guy and he was sometimes also self-initiative. Grateful!

It was great to work at this farm. Robin was a wonderful host, and I could not have had a better first experience with Worldpackers. He was present when needed and was consistently welcoming during my two week stay. Fresh vegetarian meals were prepared 3x daily, and the private rooms were comfortable. I did many different work tasks and it was kindly appreciated. Remote area, good hiking. Cheers!

We spent a week here, and had a mixed experience. There were lots of other volunteers and bike packers staying with us, that made our time very enjoyable. However, when it came to work, directions weren't always clear, which led to Robin getting frustrated. Furthermore, once you have a task, that is your job. I painted the first day and continued to paint for my stay, while others were out on the farm, where I had expressed interest in being several times. Lastly, water pressure is never guaranteed, and the food is quite bland and doesn't vary.

I found this experience helpful to get me out of my comfort zone, though it wasn't the right fit for me. The work was very physical and not right for me, and the energy of the host was not welcoming. The rules were very strict, and I am fine with it, but I felt like my work was not really appreciated. This farm would probably be the right fit for you if you like only doing physical work, and you are not very interested in learning or community working. I had to leave early for personal issues, but I probably wouldn't have stayed all 10 days anyways. Still, the place was beautiful and clean.

Beautiful place and was lovely being around the other volunteers. The accommodations were clean and comfortable, host is quite strict about work so just make sure you are ready to work early. I totally recommend just make sure you are prepared for a full vegan lifestyle:)

It was a great experience especially being so close to forests and hiking. During the week, myself and the other volunteer had freedom to choose the days we worked and in meals… the work was physically exhausting, 8:30am-1:30pm (I came in April so my tasks included cutting wood, carrying branches for longer distances, shredding branches, stacking wood, moving dirt and compost, gardening, maintaining a clean place). The farm is 7-8km from the nearest supermarket which made getting basics a bit of a challenge but the hike there is lovely and there’s no bears 🐻 but sometimes deers 🦌.

I stayed on the farm for a month and I really enjoyed my time there. If you are looking for a place to get away from society and its fast pace, I can wholeheartedly recommend this project.
Before coming, you should be prepared that your work might not revolve a lot around farming etc., depending on the season, and might involve more construction/carpentry.
Robin cooks exceptionally tasty and healthy meals, and I never had to be hungry during my stay. Leonora and Robin both did their best to give me a wonderful time on the farm and really show me their way of life. Thank you both so much!
