I've spent 1 month very nice with them. They are very welcome, kind and fun. The work was clear and not too hard with a lot of free time during the afternoon. Thanks to us, I've can discover a lot of beautiful places and really enjoy Ireland! The animals are soooo cute and I had really love spend time with the horses, had some riding lesson and did a lot of hack. I had feel like I was a part of the family. I would came back with pleasure :)

My time at the farm was truly special. From day one, the family made me feel welcome and at home. The work was fair and well organized. I was sore for the first few days but after that it was smooth sailing! We took amazing trips and explored places off the beaten path. I'm so grateful for the time and effort Katja and her family put into us volunteers. It was such a privilege to get to know the family and immerse myself in their day-to-day lives. Not only did I learn about farm life and riding Icelandic horses, but I also made lasting connections with the entire family. I'll be back!!

The farm Icelandics was my first volunteering experience, and it was a truly beautiful and valuable time. The family is so funny and welcoming, and they make you feel at home quickly. The work is well organised, with set tasks in the morning and evening and free afternoons. I loved all the animals, and the hacks and riding lessons on the Icelandic horses were so much fun. For non-smokers, it might be important to know that smoking is allowed inside the house and the car, although the windows are usually open. I learned a lot about Farm Life and would definitely recommend this experience :))

I had a great experience with the family! Everyone was very nice, welcoming and caring about the volunteers. The animals are lovely, and I really enjoyed taking care of them, mucking out the stables and feeding them. I also learned how to ride an Icelandic horse, which was amazing! Everything written on Katja's profile is true, so don't underestimate it! The outings were wonderful, with beautiful landscapes and fun activities. You can even spend a weekend in Galway, about 2 hours from the farm. I would definitely recommend this experience!

I had such an amazing time volunteering here. Everyone in the family is so incredibly welcoming and they put SO much effort into making sure we are having a good time. By the time we finished work each day they would be prepared to take us on a trip to explore the region, or we would go on a hack / have a riding lesson. We also had free time which I sometimes used to hang out with the animals, but I mostly spent my time in the house hanging out with the family because they are so fun! I really enjoyed the work, too :) I couldn't have asked for a better first experience with Worldpackers.
