Help
Hello,
We have a small camp site and a nice large volunteer caravan. The caravan has space for four and has a fully equipped kitchen. Our sanitary building is close by. We prefer a stay of minimum a few days. In the weekends you don’t need to work but if you want you can work. For about five hours a day working we offer a accommodation, free hot meals lunch and breakfast , during the working days and weekends.
Most of the tasks will be gardening around our house and in a small permaculture garden. Also the animals on the camping are looking forward to meet you to be fed, and to be cuddled by you. The "animal farm" of the camping is not to produce any products. The animals are here for the atmosphere of the campsite and for hobby. There are one pony, one gigantic Belgium working horse, three sheep, three goats, four mini pigs, four rabbits, some chickens, some turkeys, cats and dogs.
We offer you a complete four person caravan as a shelter. We also provide you the groceries for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Some dinners we will have together. So some cooking skills would be appreciated. So we can some times cook for you and you for us. In this way we can exchange recipes and learn to cook with less meat and without gluten.
Please contact us if you are interested!
We are looking forward meeting you!
