My time on the farm was by far a highlight of all my travels so far! Monika is such a great host and makes you feel welcome in her home from the very start ( and so did her husband and son). My time was slightly different to usual volunteers as I came at the end of the season, meaning i had different and varied tasked but all still kept very fair with the working hours. The accommodation is great and has everything you need, even a wide selection of clothes. I would recommend this experience to anyone, especially people who love animals and being outdoors. The farm will be greatly missed 🫶

I had a fantastic time on Monika's farm. Everything is exactly as in the description, Monika really takes good care of her volunteers and she and her family are also extremely welcoming and friendly. The work itself is quite rewarding and offers a chance to engage with nature or with animals - I personally loved working with the highland cows! When not working, there are lots of wonderful places to explore nearby, including lakes, hikes, and the nearby town of Celje. I would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone looking to connect with the outdoors and meet fellow travellers!

This was honestly one of the most incredible experience. Monika, Jure and co (Charlie, Luna and Bebas included) run the most amazing farm and have hearts of gold. Everything was fair and as agreed. The tasks themselves were so rewarding- it felt like you were really contributing to a sustainable way of life while doing something physically challenging for your body too! Had the best group, was able to cook whatever we want, got to meet locals, explored the area and ate so much delicious food (raspberries included)! Couldn't recommend this experience enough :)

Me and my partner spent two lovely weeks with Monika on the farm early in August. We worked very manageable hours and were easily able to make trips around the area on our days or afternoons off. I enjoyed the farm picking as a calm and mindful start to every morning. Our days also involved other tasks around the farm to help care for the property and animals. It was great to see how much Monika and Jure care for their animals, and wonderful to experience the calmer pace of life on the farm. The accommodation was comfortable with plenty of privacy in the shared room. Highly recommended ⭐️

Monika runs a great experience, the amount of work is very reasonable, everything is well organised and clearly explained, and she makes time to get to know everyone. While volunteering here we got to explore the surrounding area, learn about Slovenian culture, and see another way of life.
The family and surrounding neighbours are so generous and welcoming, I was humbled by their hospitality.
Monika also has a knack for choosing volunteers, we had a great group of people while we were there, it really made the experience.
This was a great experience, I can highly recommend ✨
