Need help last week in July 2025! Family home and garden - rural, Homestead, Hobby Farm
Dalarna
We are a Swedish-Dutch couple who met in Brazil. In other words - we love travelling! :) We have three daughters, Junia born in September 2011, Alma born in October 2013 and Kiara born in September 2016. When Junia was just a few months old we spent a few months travelling in New Zealand where we did some wwoofing, which was a really good experience, especially the cultural exchange. Now we have changes sides and become hosts! We have had fantastic hosting experiences with wwoofers but as we normally live in Stockholm and only spend five weeks in our summer house we are a bit limited to when we can welcome wwoofers. We need most help in end July - beginning August (more berries). In your free time you can enjoy first class nature: hiking, cycling, swimming... There is also the biggest bear park in Northern Europe just out of Orsa and a street music festival every Wednesday during July - beginning August. As we live about 10 km out of Orsa you need your own car in order to get most out of your free time. We prefer to host two wwoofers at the same time - more fun for you - and you will share bedroom. 5-7 days here is the perfect timing.
Only non smokers please!
Certifications: No professional farm.

It was a wonderful week with Anna, Justus and the kids! They are an amazing and warmhearted family and we had really good time, picking berries, working wood and going for a swim in the lake nearby...
Thank you so much for this lovely stay! Hope to see you again somewhen :)

A fantastic first WWOOF experience! Anna and Justus are warm and thoughtful hosts who take excellent care of you, including amazing home-cooked meals. Their kids are also a lot fun, just as friendly as their parents. Beautiful people, beautiful landscape <3

I really had the best start I can imagine for my Sweden trip here! The holiday home of the family is on the countryside so you can enjoy a really beautiful landscape there.
Me and another Volunteer helped Anna and Justus with the berry picking, painting the house and other small things that incurred.
In the freetime it was a lot of fun to be on the trampoline with Junia, Alma & Kiara or to play something with them.
The family also showed us a lot of nice places. We either hiked there or drove with the bikes or the car.
Anna and Justus always prepared really good meals for us all that we enjoyed together.
In the old farmhouse, which is arranged with beautiful old furniture, I even had my own room.
I thank you for the great time I could spend with you all! Tack tack!

Unfortunately I was stung by bee more than 8 spots, so I could not go there.
However I bought a ticket and exchanged messages with Anna.
She was very kind, her response was very quick so I really appreciate her very much!
She understood and gave me a warm words when I said I could not visit them because of the bee stung.
I would love to visit them sometime soon!

Flexibility, trust, hospitality, gratitude, open-minded: the keywords of my stay with Anna, Justus and the 3 little (big) girls.
I could only stay for little more than 3 days (due to my plans), but we made the most out of it. I felt at home from the moment I arrived until I left. Everybody is very helpful and the 3 girls welcome you as a fourth sister :-)!
The work was challenging (painting, digging a hole) and very satisfying! And every once and a while you can chase the chickens or ... the kids :-).
Anna and Justus did their utmost too to introduce the region: they suggested hiking trails, swims in a nearby lake, cycling tours (I could lend theirs) and thanks to Justus I finally saw a moose! We picked cloudberries, raspberries ... In short: we worked and did a lot!
Tack! Thank you! Dankjewel!

I stayed there for only one week but it felt like I’m a part of this family. They were so welcoming and friendly I really loved it. Also the little grils are so cute and full of life. It was fun playing with them. My main work was picking berrys, for me no problem. I love berrys. I also painted a bench and after I finished the work I was allowed to write my name on it.
But beside this I also did a lot with the family. We all went together to the City, watching the festival or went to the sea swimming. The water was cold but so nice.
I got my first experience in sailing there and I’m really greatful for that.
I really had a great time there and I would do it again. It’s worth going there.
