The Experience

We always need help with our daily life. The main sector where we need help is feeding and taking care of animals : mostly feeding pigs, preparing feed, but also feeding chicken, rabbits, sheep etc. Pigs get fed twice a day (morning and evening) the rest just once a day. Also, we have plenty of renovation work or in spring/summer gardening work to do. If you want to work with us you need to be used to work independent,

My stay at the farm was fantastic! Anna is super welcoming and an amazing cook. I loved experiencing Austrian food through her cooking and fresh, organic ingredients. Everyone was kind and easygoing, and the work was flexible depending on your needs and preferences. I also had a private room and bathroom, which was a lovely surprise! The only thing I'd mention is that, as a vegetarian, I sometimes felt sad knowing that some of the animals I cared for would eventually be eaten. Overall, a lovely experience!

The farm is nice and the work hours are very flexible. This makes it easy to plan your freetime when staying here. The host family are easygoing and fun. I recommend this work experience if you are willing to work and you are a social person.

Experience of a lifetime - a perfect contrast to the city life. You get to really live as an Austrian on a real farm and it makes you appreciate how much farmers do for the world.
Very easy tasks, not taking much time at all. Friendly hosts and kids. Train is 10 minute walk away, they also have bicycles. Very healthy food, healthy lifestyle with minimal technology. The hosts attempt to live clean with as little waste as possible. Easy to reach famous Austrian cities (Innsbruck, Hallstatt, Salzburg) by train (buying train tickets in advance saves a lot of money!)
100% worth it experience.

Truly a great experience! A great time with real Austrian food and culture! Great family and parents to talk to about traveling, hiking, life, etc. Great communication, comfortable living situation, and flexible work schedule. They provided recommendations for hikes, trains, travels, etc. for the area. Would definitely recommend to other travelers if you want a rural quiet life, eating and learning about Upper Austrian farming life!
