You are very welcome to come and join us in our daily work at our Farm Camping in rural Slovakia. You can either come alone or bring a friend. We have a small scale farm with goats, horses, pigs and chickens. Oh and a lot of happy guests from May to September enjoying a farm style holiday.
For shorter stays (less than two months) you will get accommodation, transport and three hearty meals a day. If you stay longer we are open for other arrangements.
We eat vegetarian. We hope you like to WORKaway and you like cooking as well.
In the months of April and May you will participate in whatever construction and maintenance work we have at that moment, vegetable gardening, garden maintenance. And if you have experience in training horses, we need some help in that field as well.
From June - September our main activity is our campsite. There is still work that needs to be done in the garden as well as essential maintenance but largely the day is spent doing your fair share of cleaning, cooking, or whatever needs to be done to maintain a welcoming environment for our guests.
From September we start preparing for the winter, cleaning stables, cutting wood and all building and maintenance projects we did not manage to finish before the start of the camping season.
We have had workawayers for many years, we like honest and clear arrangements. So write us and we can discuss on forehand if you want to join and help preparing the communal meals, to be collected from the bus station and brought back etc. You will get adequate accommodation. You will get the chance to receive hands-on experience of subsistence farming, country living, tourist management & a sustainable sound lifestyle. If what we do interests you, we will be very happy to share our knowledge.
Don't apply when you are looking for a payed job, since workaway is about something else (and Slovak minimum wage is below what you need for food and housing). We can't help with visas either.
The typical Workawayer work load at our place is 20-25 hours a week, organized on a day to day basis. We try to rotate days off for Workawayers to explore the nature of our slice of paradise.
We = an international family of three (Arnold, Bernadette and our daughter Katinka) which have settled after an international career in 2008 'in the middle of no-where' of rural Slovakia. We only consider requests addressed to us (including our names) and not a copy-and-paste which has been sent to many places. Because will also and always answer you a.s.a.p and personally. Just write to us first, later you can still contact the other hosts :) And please don't send any long essays.
On our calendar you can see for which period we need help, however if you have your own accommodation like a campervan or caravan or whatever we might also be able to host you when the calendar is on 'yellow'.

Help
From April till October we welcome Workawayers on our farm campsite.
In April and May we get ready for the summer season, help is needed with things like mowing grass, helping in the vegetable garden, erecting tents and some construction help. Lot of it is farm help, so rather physical. You should like solitude or come with a friend in Spring.
In June, July and August you can help us at the campsite with mowing grass, cleaning, cooking, watering plants and sometimes on the farm (bringing water to the animals, checking fences, weeding in the vegetable garden), it might also involve shopping in the towns around us.
In September and October the help can be on the farm including cleaning stables, or cutting wood or maintenance of our buildings (like painting).
We are always looking for optimistic and nice people who like other people incl. children, animals and nature. Our ideal work-awayer is friendly, responsible, self motivated and we can count on her/him.

"Our experience here as Workaway Ambassadors was great. Not only did we learn a lot about farming but we met the best people. The hosts are really loving people and they made everything with love. They are very hardworkers and funny and they make the best cheese ever! Their daughter is adorable and we really get along with her, we miss her and she became as our little niece. All the animals are really good and you can have funny moments with the baby goats or feeding the little lambs. The wagon has everything you need and they make sure that you have everything to eat. We have nothing but thanks to you and we really hope to come back some day."

Annabelle is a friendly and sociable young lady. You can have a nice discussion and good laugh with her. She took her assigned task very seriously and has done everything to finish all the work before her departure. She worked more hours than asked for.
Thank you Annabelle for visiting us, being so joyful and helping us.

The variety was nice, milking the sheep, stucing a wall, mowing the grass, work with… read more

We had a brilliant time working on the goat farm. We stayed for three weeks and wanted to stay longer but had to stick to our travel schedule. Bernadette and Arnold were fantastic, they are easy-going, friendly, happy and always willing to help.

Starting with correct correspondence, they came well on time as agreed, they have done a great job, and the wagon they stayed in was immaculately cleaned when they left. They are very friendly, modest, hard working, mature, responsible people,… read more

The work was fair and we enjoyed helping. Work away wagon is a good set up. Hiking in the area was lovely. Would definitely recommend this workaway

They run a highly efficient camp site and working farm where we helped to water the animals daily, worked with the young horses and cleaned out tents for guests. We enjoyed getting to know all the guests and their children during our face painting and games afternoons. The location… read more
