I took care of goats for few hours per day and it was not easy at the begining as it may seems! they like to escape ;) Everybody was very helpful and friendly. I get my own place where I could cook as well. It's great place for people who are looking calm enviroment to recharge… read more

I loved staying at Richard's ranch. It is surrounded by mountains, and views are simply breathtaking. The job was quite easy to do. I had to take care of the goats. There are 40 of them, so makes you learn a lot about crowd management:) Also, had a chance to help in the cafeteria a bit, which gave me experience of a barista/bartender. The general… read more

Richard is a very welcoming person, friendly and funny, always up for a beer or more, and I will always remember the welcome party with Milan and Evka !

We stayed here for a week with Richard and his family helping out on the farm. The farm hands Milan and Edka are very friendly and easy going and despite the language barrier we were able to assist them with feeding animals, watching goats and mucking out.

I stayed with Richard for ten days, it was my first workaway experience and it was very good! He is very generous with food and beer and looking after the goats was relaxing. I also had a couple of lovely rides on his horses. I would definitely recommend going here!

Me and my friend had a really nice workaway experience on Richards and his family's farm! We guarded the goats most of the time (or kubo the dog did most of the work) and we learned a lot! Richard is very fun and generous. It was a kind of a joke that he gave us loads of food, and always asked us if we had enough when the whole fridge was totally… read more

I was lucky enough to spend some time over Easter 2015 here- the weather wasn't on our side, but I have nothing but positive things to say about Richard, his family, and the farm.

We had a great time on Richard's farm and there's loads to do there. After making sure the goats haven't escaped for the 10th time that day you'll be able to serve customers at the bar, learn how to ride a horse, drink Kozel, eat Goulash and lots more! The farm is absolutely beautiful and home to so many different animals and the best dog in the… read more

We have worked a couple of days at Richard´s farm and it was great :-) It´s an amazing landscape and the farm is dreamlike. Richard and his family have welcomed us so friendly. If you love animals then you’ll be on the right place. All their animals are treated very respectfully. If you are adept in working with horses you can help with them too.… read more
