Descripción
From March to November: We are looking for friendly people with good riding skills. You should be able to ride horses in the open.
We search people, that like gardening - or like to learn it - now.
-----------------
In the east of Belgium 2,5km from the border of Germany, you will find our farm. It is placed in a small village with nearly none public transport – especially at the weekends.
Within bikes reach you can find shops for almost everything, a cinema, swimming pool with a small sauna and fitness – if you are interested in such things. Nature is nearer – that you can find when you step outside!
Since 2010 the farm is completely biological – we had to stop the milk production due to helath problems and now our cows live with their claves.Tipos de ayuda y oportunidades de aprendizaje

For Workawayers:
A word to volunteering times: We have no exact times, and everything depends on your will and skills. That means: If you are interested in helping milking – you are welcome. If you would like to cook or bake – why not? If you are the one for gardening? Or you are a creative soul and find you a project here? We will not stop you, you are welcome at any time at every work.
In the morning Walter and I start early with milking, and our braekfast ist around 8:30, so that is the time we make the timetable for the day. We found out that it is the best way to bring someone fast in, when he is working with one of us first. So, if you know what scill you have, you can decide, what you want to do. And belive me, you could manage more as you think at the moment!Idiomas

im Moment möchte ich gerne mein Französisch verbessern und etwas Niederländisch lernen :-). Gerne helfe ich beim verbessern der Deutschkenntnisse. I would like to be better in French and would like to learn to speak Neederlands - I understand a lot but am afraid to speek :-$ And we both would be glad if you learn to speak German - if you like :-)Alojamiento
We offer you a guestroom and also a place at our table. Delicious food fresh from the garden and stabels included!

We are no vegetarians
No vegans, no diets (gluten free, lactose free, low carb...) - also no Paleo. Thank you for the understanding.
Our farm is our home and our work at one place - so we would like you to be careful and thinkful with all things - animals, plants and also humans here. It is no "ideological projekt" financed by work at other places but real farmwork, we and all that live with us (including our animals!), depends on it!Un poco más de información
