Description
Welcome to Our Beautiful Chaos in Sweden! 🤠🌾🐴
We're Jenny and Pontus, a family of seven living on a farm in the beautiful countryside of western Sweden, surrounded by forests, lakes and nature.
With five children, 11 horses, four dogs, 35 chickens and more projects than we can count, life here is rarely quiet! There's always something happening, something that needs fixing or a new idea waiting to become reality. 😅
We're currently working on developing our farm into Humla Ranch, a Western inspired place where we hope to offer horseback adventures, pony experiences, cosy guest cabins and a welcoming countryside atmosphere.
It's a big dream, and we're slowly making it happen alongside our everyday family life.
🔨 How You Can Help
With two full time jobs, five children and all our animals, we could really use some extra hands!
Help around the house is especially appreciated! 🏡❤️
Keeping up with everything indoors is honestly where we struggle the most. We'd love someone who enjoys helping with cleaning, laundry, cooking, tidying up and keeping everyday life running a little smoother.
There's also plenty to do outside!
If you enjoy horses, we have 11 of them, including Quarter Horses, draft horses, Paint and Shetlandponies. Experienced riders are very welcome to help with exercising, groundwork, training and everyday horse care.
We also have lots of ongoing projects around the farm, from building fences and improving paddocks to painting, gardening and renovating. If you're handy with tools or have experience in carpentry, that's a wonderful bonus!
And of course, there's always the usual farm life with feeding animals, collecting eggs and occasionally chasing escaped chickens. 🐔😂
You don't need to know everything. We appreciate people who are willing to help, take initiative and enjoy being part of everyday farm life.
❤️ Meet Our Family
Jenny: That's me! I'm a full time farrier, passionate horsewoman and the one with a thousand ideas going on at once. I'm probably a little chaotic, but life is never boring around me! 😅
Pontus: My husband and complete opposite! He's calm, patient and practical. He works as a gym manager and personal trainer and somehow manages to keep up with all my crazy ideas.
Together we're raising our five wonderful children: Christiano (12), Kayden (7), Zoey (6), Jack (3) and little Lexie, born in May 2026.
Our home is full of laughter, energy, animals and the occasional chaos. The children are used to having people around and love meeting new friends from different countries.
🏡 Accommodation and Everyday Life
You'll have your own little cabin on the farm, giving you a private space to relax and unwind.
Meals and bathroom facilities are inside our family home, so you'll be sharing those spaces with us.
We provide three meals a day and accommodation in exchange for up to 25 hours of help per week, with two full days off.
We love sharing meals, stories and laughter, and we hope you'll feel like part of the family while you're here. Of course, we also respect everyone's need for privacy and time to themselves.
We usually eat meat and enjoy cooking together, so it's easiest if you're comfortable with our family meals.
Our farm is surrounded by beautiful Swedish nature, with forests and lakes nearby. Gothenburg is approximately one hour away by car.
🤠 Who We're Looking For
We're looking for friendly, positive and easygoing people who enjoy animals, children and countryside life.
Someone who takes initiative, isn't afraid to get their hands dirty and is happy to help wherever needed.
Experience with horses, carpentry or renovation is a big bonus, but a good attitude and willingness to help mean the most to us.
We ask that you speak and understand English well and are a non smoker.
🌅 Come Be Part of Our Everyday Life!
We're not offering a luxury holiday or a perfectly organised farm. What we can offer is a genuine Swedish family, beautiful nature, plenty of animals, lots of laughter and a chance to experience real countryside life.
Some days are busy, others are slower, and things don't always go according to plan. But that's part of the charm!
If you enjoy animals, nature, family life and a little bit of chaos, we think you'll feel right at home here. ❤️
Tell us a little about yourself, your experience and what you'd enjoy helping with.
Please check our calendar before sending a message.
We'd love to welcome you to our little corner of Sweden!🤠🌾
Jenny, Pontus and the whole gang ❤️ -

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
Staying with us is a chance to experience everyday life with a Swedish family in the countryside! ❤️
You'll get to experience our traditions, food and culture, practise your English and maybe pick up a few Swedish words along the way. We love sharing meals, stories and learning about each other's cultures.
There's also plenty to learn about farm life, horses and animal care. Jenny works as a farrier and is happy to share her knowledge about horses and hoof care. If you're interested in western riding, there's an opportunity to learn more about that too! 🐴🤠
Pontus works as a gym manager and personal trainer, so if you're interested in fitness, strength training or nutrition, he's always happy to share his knowledge and give you some tips! 💪
Most importantly, we hope you'll feel like part of the family, make some lovely memories and leave with new experiences, friendships and perhaps a few new skills! 🥰 -

Aide
There's always something to do around our farm, and the tasks vary depending on the season, your experience and what you enjoy doing! 😊
Help can include riding and exercising horses, taking our Shetland ponies for walks, feeding animals, cleaning stables, fixing fences, gardening and helping with different projects around the farm. 🐴🌾
We also really appreciate help inside the house with cooking, cleaning, laundry, tidying up and occasionally babysitting or spending time with the children. With five kids and lots of animals, an extra pair of hands makes a huge difference! 😅❤️
You don't need to be experienced in everything. We simply appreciate people who are happy to help, take initiative and enjoy being part of our everyday family life. -

Autres infos...
We live in the beautiful countryside near Borgstena, surrounded by forests, lakes and nature. 🌿
During your time off, you can enjoy walks in the forest, explore the countryside, relax by the lakes or simply spend time with the animals. If you enjoy horses, there's usually an opportunity to spend some extra time with them too! 🐴
The nearby towns of Borås and Ulricehamn are lovely to explore, and Gothenburg is approximately an hour away by car, perfect for a day trip! 😊
We live in a rural area, so having a driving licence is definitely an advantage. Public transport is available in the surrounding area, but getting around requires some planning.
We also enjoy spending time together as a family, having barbecues, playing board games and sharing meals. You're always welcome to join us, but we completely understand if you'd rather enjoy some quiet time on your days off.
We hope you'll enjoy both the peaceful countryside and the sometimes slightly chaotic family life here! ❤️🤠 -
