My stay at Ea’s place was one of a kind experience. She is a very kind and generous person, and as a first time wwoofer I felt welcomed and really well taken care of. The place is located in a beautiful area surrounded by lake, 20 minutes away from a little town Sunne, and staying there in winter felt like a true winter fairytale~ I stayed in the main house, since the summer house was too cold for living this time of the year, and there I had a little beautifully decorated space for myself. Overall, the house was clean and well-equipped, comfortable for living during all seasons, as well as tastefully designed. Since I stayed during the cold season, main tasks for everyday were wood cutting for the fire, and snow shovelling. We also prepared meals together, and since Ea is a wonderful cook, I had a lot of fun learning various tips from her. In the evenings we spent a cozy time watching movies together, also I really enjoyed my relaxtion time reading and drawing by the fireplace. Somedays Ea drove us to the town, where you could find many cute local boutiques and second hand shops. Most of all, I enjoyed our enriching conversations about permaculture, nature, psychology and the world in general. They left me with a lot of meaningful realisations and insights to reflect on. I was especially inspired by Ea’s aim to give back to earth, which also was the ground reason for creating such a nice place. I hope it will continue to prosper and grow to an amazing organic homestead!...

I’ve stayed 2 weeks on the farm and it was really nice! I had the chance to be invited in the family and friends during christmas time and I am so grateful for that. They made me feel very confortable. The room you have is cozy and beautifull. The hosts are funny and kind. And on top of that, Gotland is such a beautifull place. You can borrow a bike or a car to have a look around. I really liked my stay on the farm and I am really gratefull for everything they’ve done to me 💚☺️

Lyckans Gård was a wonderful first woofing experience. It was a pleasure to stay there. In the morning and evening I had fixed routines like taking the dogs for a walk, cleaning and feeding the other animals. In your freetime you could take a bike to the nearby lake or it would have also been possible to borrow the car. The accommodation in the Orangerie was great. Enjoying the time with the family was also nice. You could always feel that you are welcome and slowly become "a part of the family". I look back to some interesting conversations in the kitchen. Furthermore, I enjoyed to experience a traditional Christmas eve with their family. All in all, Jessica and Stefan were great hosts who enjoyed answering all your questions and show you everything.

I stayed at Allmogegården for two months and had a really wonderful time. There are so many different activities happening on the farm, you could stay here for a year and still be learning new things. More than any other farm I've volunteered at, Maria and Bengt seem to have set their farm up specifically with the WWOOFers' experience in mind; the farmwork is very well organized, the work is never too difficult but is always meaningful, and there is a really strong sense of community living with the other volunteers. Thank you Maria and Bengt for such a great experience, and I hope I am able to return to Allmogegården in the future!

How can I describe such a wonderful time? I spent two months in autumn and one month in winter on the farm. It was my first WWOOF experience, and I'm extremely grateful to Katarina and Magnus for welcoming me so warmly. Between harvesting and packing vegetables, we laughed and talked a lot what made the work even more fun. While picking beans until whatever end, you have plenty of time to think and have funny conversations with yourself. Autumn work also involved trimming, weeding, preparing the shop, and labeling jars. There was always variety in the tasks and in who you did them with, which made every 8 o'clock meeting exciting! Although we had a beautiful sunny autumn, where we could often just wear long pants and a T-shirt, it's good to be prepared for any weather conditions since you work outside all day. In your free time you can explore the Swedish nature around the farm. We often went swimming and barbecuing at the nearby lakes or did handicrafts in the cozy café garden. While preparing for the Christmas market, our main tasks were packing and labeling candy, cookies and other items, as well as setting up the tables and decorations. I often felt like a little elf :) After work, we often went ice bathing in the frozen lake – it feels so electrifying and pure. If you're creative and open to new experiences, you'll find adventure around every corner. I found a little home there so I can simply recommend working at Ändebols from the bottom of my heart.
