The kids are bilingual, but the main language spoken is English.

So if you consider yourself as an outgoing, responsible, fun and independent person and team player we would be thrilled to hear from you!

Barbora stayed with us last August and was a great person to have around the place. She is very smart, a fast learner and gave 100% whatever the task was.
We wish her all the best for her future and hope to see her again one day!

Each day is a little different on the farm and brings new challenges and problems which must be solved, the only thing you can be certain of on a dairy farm is that the cows must be milked morning and...read more

Hans stayed with us for 3 months in summer 2009.
It was great to have Hans with us, he made a big effort to fit in and adapted well to farm life and the new tasks facing him.
Further we were amazed about Hans reliability and perseverance.
Also Hans was great with the kids. They still miss him and talk about him a lot.
We are very glad that...read more
