My first time volunteering and it has been extraordinary. The work with the cows is easy and the workers are lovely. The common areas of the house are very nice and I loved how cozy my room was. We did a lot of planning and the other volunteers I met were amazing. I recommend this experience to everyone, it was perfect. Everything was easy and they are always looking to make you feel comfortable at all times 😍😍

Host and his family, workers and another volunteers are so friendly and kind !! We enjoyed music festivals, lake, explore the town, BBQ etc … house was messed but you can clean(^^) I really enjoyed time. If you love nature and cows you should go there!!

I had a wonderful and pretty life-changing time at the farm. I mainly did carpentry like building plant supports, an area for crops, a house for wild bees, repairing a door, a box for crops, cows, DROVE THE TRACTOR! Highlights were Midsommar and an incredible folk music festival called Bingsjöstämman. In my free time I played the piano, canoed in the lake, drew outside, and enjoyed nature. An authentic farm experience for those who aren't afraid of getting dirty! Volunteers were great and we even threw a small kitchen party for my farewell which was so much fun. I made some great memories!

I was in Söderhamn for a month and it was an amazing time. The farm is basically in the middle of nowhere so you spent a lot of time in the nature. The work tasks are really flexible and if there is something you're not comfortable with there is always room to discuss. I met other amazing volunteers and would recommend that to everyone who wants to the farm cows

It was an amazing experience on the farm with Olov and the other volunteers. I felt like I was home. It was good work and fun work. I learned a lot about gardening and taking care of dairy cows. I feel so fortunate to have had this opportunity. A special place.

Olov's warm hospitality made his farm a welcoming home. I loved choosing tasks & learned from planning gardens to milking cows! We explored beyond the farm with church visit, scenic drive & hike. Olov's delicious, home-cooked dishes and decadent desserts were a delightful surprise. For future Worldpackers: The farm's charm is rustic, so you might find something needing a fix. Just mention it to Olov - he's open to suggestions and might even welcome the help! Overall, it was a truly unforgettable experience.

Olov is a very good person and a super friendly guy who always smiles, he always took me to the gym and brought me back, he left the car for us whenever we needed them to go to Soderharm to do something. The only bad thing, to say the least, is that the house was dirty, otherwise everything was fine.

Part 2/2 Moreover Olov always pay attention that we are several activities to do. He also always makes sure that there is enough food for everyone. The place is really beautiful (specially in winter with the snow !). We met wonderful people there and we had a really good time ! 🫶🏻

Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
