Description
Hi, Come join us at our creative and organic raspberry farm. I would like some help with improvements to the house, grass mowing and taking care of my organic raspberries. We provide delicious healthy vegetarian food and you have your own sleeping place in a 'roulotte'.
The house is on top of a hill very isolated in the middle of nature. Our goal is to create a ´makers place´ in a rural area. The farm is located on a hill with beautiful views and next to a nature reservate. Are you a musician, creative or handy or you like to cook? Do you dream to buy your own farm and would like to try out farm life in rural france? Or do you just want to spend some time in nature? We love to share our practical skills with you and happy to help you improve your english, or Dutch or French. We have a piano.

Rhonal stayed at our farm twice! It was an honour to host Rhonal. The first time he came with his friends and stayed for a week. He helped with making a fence around our raspberrries. Thanks to Rhonal, this boring and fysical job became fun, he arranged for some music. In the evening we played card games and learned local dances and played music.… read more

One helping to build a fence for the raspberries they have on their farm, and also spending one of the best Christmases of my life with Rosa, Saskia and more colleagues!
