I stayed with Inga and Raggi for just about two months. It was my first workaway experience and also my first time working with animals. Raggi has lifelong experience in working with cows and therefore knows so much and is very calm and patient in his teaching. It is always a pleasure to work with someone who knows so much!

He would teach my… read more

I stayed at Inga and Raggi's place for one month. It was my first workawayer experience and I totally loved it! Inga and Raggi are such a nice and generous couple. I also met their son and his girlfriend (they took me on a trip to Husavik and showed me amazing places like Dettifoss waterfall or Ásbyrgi canyon), Raggi's mother (who was so nice… read more

We stayed for 7 weeks at Raggi´s and Inga´s Farm and it was great! First of all, they are very lovely people and treated us so friendly. Raggi has so much knowledge about the icelandic culture and his humor is amusing. Inga ist such a sweet soul and her cooking is amazing!!! And of course we have to mention Rezko, who explained us everything and… read more

Benedicte and I spent 6 and 8 weeks at Ingas and Raggis farm this summer (2017) and we had a great time. Inga and Raggi are very kind people and very hospitable - we were treated like members of the family. We enjoyed Ingas good food and cakes and we liked talking to Raggi late in the evening about where to go and what to see, Icelandic culture,… read more

3 month in Iceland,
I visited Inga and Raggi on their farm from March to May and it was a very interesting time. First of all they were very nice to me and made feel very welcome. Talking to each other was no problem even if me English is not the best so we were talking with hands and feet :-D. The work on the farm was easy to do and we had a lot… read more

It was my first workaway experience and it was a fun experience! I felt welcommed into the family straight away, Inga, Raggi and Rezko are kind and funny people in their own way:) I usually worked 7-10 hours a day, 6 days a week. The work was to clean the barn, help the cows go to the robot, build fences, small paint job, sorting out sheeps, give… read more

Staying with Inga and Raggi was the best! They are really generous and welcomed us to their family right away. The work was actually quite fun - cleaning the fjoss (cow stable), feeding cows, calvs and sheeps, making sure the cows go in the milking robot as well as helping in the house at times. They also showed us around Akureyri and took us on a… read more

This is the best place to explore the icelandic North and the icelandic farmlife. We, Lena and I had an incredible time not only with Inga and Raggi, but also with the whole family. We liked the work we had to do and want to say "takk fyrir" for everything and for all we could see in our freetime. We stayed for nearly five weeks, but the time went… read more

I had such a great time working with Inga and Raggi! They were very kind and welcoming and made me feel like one of the family very quickly. The work doesn't take very long and is mostly just whenever help is needed with cows, horses, sheep, and other farm tasks. Raggi was kind enough to show Tiana and i around most of Akureyri and some of the… read more

Inga and Raggi are the most generous people you can find. You are accepted into their family straight away. I was their first workawayer and I am glad I got the opportunity to come to Iceland but to also meet these wonderful people. The work you do is little. Make sure the cow house, kitchen and bathroom are clean. You work for a few hours every… read more
