The Experience

On our farm goats, sheep, cows, horses, chickens, cats, and dogs are waiting to meet you! There’s always plenty to do, so I’d really appreciate a helping hand. A warm and fun atmosphere is super important to me — we work hard, but have fun at all. You should really love animals and feel comfortable around dogs. The work can be physically demanding, so being fit is a plus. You’ll have your own cozy little guest house to relax in after work.

This was my first worldpackers experience, and i loved it! Sonja was a perfect host, she explained everything, not just the tasks that we had to do, but I learned really much about farms, and everything about agriculture.
The animals were really cute(especially Trixi).
We worked in the morning and in the evening, and the tasks were simple. During the day we had a lot of free time which was perfect for reading, and exploring the neighberhood. Maybe I would recommend it to other volunteers to think about activities that they can do in this time.
I am really grateful for everything!

I truly recommend this experience if you want to learn about farming life and enjoy the tranquility and calm life-style, although the work some times can be physically demanding we had time to rest. Sonja the farm an incredible host, so kind to work with and she explained a lot of things to us. She also cooked really nice lunches :-) The guest house was really well equipped with everything we need but if something was missing we could ask her. Inmensely happy with my expierence at the farm-the farm-the farm 🩷

My experience with Sonja was amazing! She was a wonderful host, cared for the volunteers and made the best lunches :). She always made sure you felt okay and have everything you need. I felt very welcomed by her and her lovely family. Even though I already knew a lot about animals and taking care of them, Sonja learned me everyday something new about her own animals or the wild animals in Austria. She was also always very flexible. With the other volunteer I had loads of fun and it was always nice to have another volunteer with you. Thank you very much Sonja and I wish you the very best!

It was a great one week, i wish i could stay longer. By the end of my trip i was sad to not being able to stay more. It might be just my experience because i really loved connecting with animals and doing farm work. Everything was great and if you like farm work, wanna learn more about the subject and working in general totally recommended. Sonja was a great host and made sure we were comfortable so im greatful for that
