Description
Me and my husband Maxime are a young couple with a 3-year old son and a baby of 4 months, enjoying life on the farm. It runs many generations back in the family. Our farm has 1 horse, a bull, some chickens, 17 sheep, 20 pigs a dog and some cats. My grandma also lives on the farm in a separate house. We live very quietly in Damme, next to Bruges and 15 km from the seaside. We have a large house with a separate bedroom and a separate bathroom for our guests. You can have a private kitchen where you can cook with vegetables from our own organic garden. During summer time we host a giant corn maze,, and have lots of glampers that come stay in our corn. It's an amazing place with a lot of work to do, that's why we would like to have some helping hands. If you like farming, animals and kids, this is the place to be!

Help
In summer time we have a giant event on the farm, . Our two kids have a week programme during the day (9-5) but we need some extra help with them in the mornings and evenings and full days during the weekends. If you like animals and being outside, you will like our farm. You are definitely welcome to help take care of our animals whenever needed. We have lots of space and fun things to do, like for instance our vegetable garden where we have 80 different varieties of vegetables. We have a flower field where we grow flowers for own use. We have many fruit trees that provide us from fresh fruits in summer time. Our animals love some attention and like to play around. The horse likes to be brushed and run around in the meadows.
