I am a retired teacher, who left town and now live where I was grown up. .The place is beautiful and with more handsit is possible to make it even nicer. I do really like to share the place with people,who also love the nature, love animals and love to grow things and enjoy working with it. You might not have much experoence, that´s okej. The main thing is that you have the interest.. If you look for a place in June this might be the right one.. There are many things to plant and so on.

The days I spent at Iris's place are a true treasure in my life. She is so full of love, charming, and genuinely wonderful. And her garden is almost heaven—time just flows so peacefully there. Thank you so much for everything. Big love!

It was my first woofing experience and ist was great. I shared a room with another woofer, could enjoy very good food and liked my tasks. Every day working in the garden, the cats visiting me, was interesting and I learnd a lot about fermenting, baking bread and to plant different kind of vegetables. There was plenty of time to have a walk, go biking or visiting towns arround. I really can recommend this woofing place and felt welcome. I even learnd swedish witch I liked to do. My host Iris appretiates the help and was very interested in the needs of every single woofer.

We had a wonderful time wwoofing with Iris. During our 2 weeks there, we helped out with planting, weeding and other tasks in the garden! Iris has a truly beautiful place with adorable cats and we are very glad that we got to experience staying there! Iris herself is a kind and headstrong woman and it was a pleasure to get to know her. During our days off we were able to explore the Skåne area quite extensively and there is a good public transport system there. There were plenty of breaks and Iris was attentive to our preferences. We would strongly recommend wwoofing at Iris' garden!

Thanks for your rewiew! I can also surely recommend you as wwoofers. This experience for you was totally different from your life in Singapore. Everything was new for you but learnt quickly and was a really good help for me. Besides that you also brought a positive, uplifting energy. I did really like to host you.

Dear Iris, we really had a great stay at your farm! We immediately felt at home and enjoyed every day. Especially cutting blackberries, weeding vegetable beds, spending time with the cute cats, sorting apples and of course our visit at the cinema in Sjöbo. We wish you the best, thanks for everything :) Greetings Ramona&Emma Dear future wwoofers, if you're looking for an inspirational and calm environment with various tasks around the garden, we really recommend this place! Iris is a very good cook, we had very delicious porridge every day for lunch. The house is super cozy and the wwoofer-room is wonderful with a beautiful view on the fields, where we saw many wild geese every morning (Nils Holgersson Vibes!) On weekdays its easy to drive from the farm to Sjöbo by SkaneFlex. We visited the seaside town of Ystad near the East Sea. There is a great beach und the houses are old and pretty. The little forest next to Iris' farm is wild and beautiful with a lot of deers (Once we saw a stag!). The Flora cinema in Sjöbo is also very nice. A typical day at Iris' farm can look like this: Breakfast between 8 and 9 o´clock with fresh eggs, bread, tea... You may start with collecting blackberries or weeding vegetable beds... lunch around 12:30. Porridge time! After a break you may continue with sorting apples, collecting other things, working with line oil... Around 5 o´clock it's dinner time we will never forget our amazing stay at Iris' farm... Thanks for everything!
