  Beschreibung

  This is is a project of Anke (1985) en Rien (1985). We met in high school and 20 years later we have 2 children, Berre (2012) and Dina (2014). As a couple we have put our heart and soul into this place ever since we bought it in 2012.
  
  It is a food forest of about 15000m² near the city of Bruges (15km). It consists of a food forest (obviously), a forest to play for kids and a vegetable garden. It is a non-profit organisation working around edible wild plants, bushcraft and nature education.
  
  Trough the years we have built this place from the ground up. Since 2012, the food forest grew from a grass field into a true wilderness, becoming an increasingly resilient self-sustaining ecosystem full of biodiversity. At the moment we live in a renovated farm house with a swimming pond. In the beginning we started out with a tiny clay house that is now free for b&b or workaways, in addition we also have 2 shepherd's huts. We are looking for helping hands to continue our building plans and lighten the load of the upkeep of our food forest.
  
  Our 'place' strives to be an experimental nature experience site where modern knowledge intertwines with primitive insights and skills. The place runs bushcraft workshops, for example: cob building, fire making, campfire cooking, basketry, foraging... By growing the connection with our natural environment and ourselves, we want to accelerate a sustainable system change in our society.
  
  We speak Dutch at home, but we are also fluent in english, pretty good in french, we know a little german and a tiny bit spanish.
  
  See you soon,
  Rien and Anke

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  We live nearby Bruges, a city with tonnes of cultural heritage and activity. We have knowledge about permaculture, food forest in a temperate climate, bushcraft, basketry with wild fibres, cob building (and eco building in general) meditation, healthy food and lifestyle... that we are most willing to share.
  
  We have 2 young children (2012 and 2014) and we would like them to get to know people from around the world with different languages and backgrounds.
  
  We would like some help with our activities, but we are also looking forward to meeting enthousiastic people with similar interests as ours.

  Unterkunft

  We have a tiny cob house with a foldable single bed and a couch that also folds into a (double) bed. In the tiny house there's a kitchen and a bathroom (incl bath, shower and water flushed toilet). In addition to the tiny cob house we also have 2 Shepherds' huts with 2 double beds each. Outside we also have a composting toilet and shower that can be used if prefferred.
  
  If there's just 1 couple of (friends or lovers) present they can use the tiny cob house for sleeping, cooking... If there are 2 or more couples staying over, we suggest that the tiny house is used as a shared space for chilling, cooking, washing... and that each couple use a Shepherd's hut for sleeping and personal space.
  
  We can provide al the bedding, pillows and sheets. We can also provide basic food supply during your stay here or we can harvest fresh vegetables from the garden. If you work 5 days we provide you with food for the whole week, if you work less, we will provide you with food for the days that you work. There are 2 fridges at your disposal (one in the kitchen of the tiny house). Once a week we can also enjoy a meal together with the family and workaways.
