Description
An adventurous Dutch-Brazilian couple decided to settle down when we were expecting our first child at the Dutch country side, transforming a former dairy farm into a small green paradise where people can enjoy nature and animals and recharge. We adopted some cute farm animals. We started a 300m2 permaculture vegetable garden in our fruit orchard in 2021 with volunteers and we are organising workshops related to permaculture and crafts. Also we have planted hundreds of trees and bushes and we want to plant more!
We run a little business of holidays homes on the farm but the work volunteers will be doing is not related to this business. The garden, growing veggies and animals are our hobby and way to try to live as self sufficient as possible.
