Description
Hi there,
We, Anita and Berend, live in the northern part of the Netherlands in an old school building, just outside the village of Appelscha. We are surrounded by two national parks: the Drents-Friese Wold and the Fochteloërveen.
Our place is beautiful and idylic and has an orchard, organic flower and kitchen garden, labyrinth, pond, fire place, lawn etc. which, of course, needs maintenance.
We have a few outdoor buildings and DIY projects, like making a platform with a roof etc. We live with a very friendly dog, Artos, who will supervise all work that has to be done and Sylverster the cat, who is master of the property... Part from those guys, there are chickens and fish in the ponds to take care of.

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
If there is time we can show you around in our area. We can go to the famous "hunebedden" (dolmens), Frisian lakes, and the cultural cities of Groningen, Leeuwarden and Assen. You can also make short trips to Amsterdam, Germany and Belgium.
Anita is a yoga teacher, so if there is room you are welcome in her classes. You will meet a lot of different people. We love to cook for you, but also prepare meals together. If you are a foodie, you're in the right place. We walk every day with our dog, so we can show you around in the near area too.
Aide
Gardening: We have a big organic garden and we do not use pesticides, so we really would like some help from people who know a bit about organic gardening.
DIY and building projects.
Help in and around the house: living in a big building, there is always something to clean or paint.
General maintenance: just the usual things like vacuum cleaning, windows etc.
