Description
We are a non-profit, charity organization run by volunteers. Our farm is located just 5 km from the beautiful lake Balaton. We rescue animals that have been abused, neglected, abandoned, bound for slaughter, injured or unwanted in any way and give them safety, rehabilitation and comfort in our open air lifetime sanctuary ranch. We take care of 15 horses, 4 calves, 1 donkey, 2 cats, 8 sheep, 40 goats, 1 dog. They live free and peacefully on our 40 acre sanctuary.
The life of our shelter is based on our volunteers' work. We have no boss, no one to tell you what to do but we except you to be responsible and enthusiastic to take care about our animals and the land where we live. We are all here for the animals. We show you our daily routine and you can be a part of the experience.Types d'aide et opportunités d'apprendre

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
Our Workawayers will be able to experience the rural Hungary, a really unique and peaceful place. They will work with horses, goats, calves, sheep; these beautiful creatures who can teach so much to us:
Confidence - to be able to manage an animal of that size and ability.
Responsibility - to come out and care for the animals day in and day out and when you are sick or lazy, you cant just decide not to come in. They depend on you.
The value of hard work.
Our Workawayers will take care of 40 crazy goats, which means that they will learn how to milk them, how to herd them and how to give them medicine when they need.Aide
There are various tasks at the farm, like building fences, shelters or drinking-through for the horses. We are looking for volunteers who are motivated to work with rescued horses, help them to socialize with people. Our volunteers also need to take care of the goats: milk them every morning, give them water and keep an eye on them.
The minimum stay is 3 weeks.Langues parlées

Autres infos...
Lake Balaton is located only 5 km from our ranch which is the largest lake in Central Europe, and one of the region's foremost tourist destinations. By cars it takes around 10 minutes to get to the Lake Balaton from our farm.
Usually we have 2-4 workawayers at the same time. At the evenings our volunteers can enjoy time together next to the fire or in the cozy living room.Informations complémentaires

I arrived after the festival and the amount of work was less compared to the previous months, but I could always find some fun activity to do.
I learnt so many new things working with the sheeps and the goats, including milking!
The other volunteers I met were amazing and… read more
we enjoyed so much the work with the animals.
Zita, Csaba and the 2 Daniels are all very interesting people and we'd love to meet again.

Hope you… read more

This was my first workaway experience and I stayed there for a week. When I came to Siofok it was a bit misunderstanding when I supposed to arrive, so my first impression was 4 hours waiting for someone to pick me up. Transport by bus is also possible, but not on weekends.
But what can… read more

I've spend 2,5 weeks in the shelter and i had an absolutely delightful time there ! Most of the daily routine is about taking care of the animals, feed them, give them love, bring back the goats and sheeps to the shelter in the evening, sometimes nurse some sick goats, socialize with… read more
This was my first Workaway and it was absolutely worth it. It was such a great experience. Seeing the calves getting bigger and stronger and starting to throw the buckets away when we fed them:D Just all the animals are lovely and the surroundings, the nature, it’s so beautiful.
There were lots of camera… read more

I would like to describe the place a bit, because I expected a complete different stay there. I thought 2 weeks about what to write here and I try to stay neutral:
You will live in a house with only other workawayers and one man who is living there together with his girlfriend. The… read more

His place is very peaceful and relaxing. You are around animals all day long - with crazy and adoreable dogs, two little kitten, 13 beautiful horses, the goats of… read more
Second thing to say is that if you are dreaming of working with horses, specify in advance because most of my time was spent with the goats or doing general maintenance tasks. Not that this was a problem for me, it’s just good to know.
I had a fantastic time… read more
