  Description

  Welcome to our vibrant and loving farm in Lier.
  Let us present ourselves : we are Zeger, a 45 year old carpenter and metalworker with a lot of creative ideas and plans  and Hanne, a 36 years old cook, always active with many dreams.
  We are co-parenting two sweet little dragons of children, Gust, 9 years old and Marta 7 years old.
  Also running and standing around on the farm are a dog, a cat, 10 chicken, a pig, 4 sheep (hopefully some lambs soon) and 32 recently planted fruit trees. 
  During the months of July and August we are working on the farm full time. The rest of the year Zeger works to make movie sets and Hanne works as a teacher.
  For now we are a private homestead, the help on our farm is only for our own consumption and pleasure.
  
  Our place is situated in the neighboorhood of Lier, a cute, old town with some nice bars, a small cinema, a swimming pool, museums….(you can use our bikes to discover the area.)
  We like to spend most of our time outside, from gardening to making campfires and cooking on them.

  In the past we’ve travelled a lot ourselves and have always enjoyed meeting new people from all around the world. We are definitely looking forward to getting to know you and could use your helping hands to construct our dream farm. In return we provide a nice place to sleep, lunch and dinner, and you can learn some woodworking skills from Zeger, a new cooking recipe from Hanne or some good jokes by Gust.
