We, Barbera & Stephan live with our (2 children (18 & 19) in a small village in Drenthe. A lovely peaceful and natural place with a special energy. We have a house, a big barn and a garden. We Are transforming our garden in an edible garden and food forest with more than 600 different species of trees, shrubs, perennial vegetables, mushrooms etc. The Barn we are transforming partly into a workshop and partly into a yoga/ meditation space. We are creating this paradise to be an inspiration to others and help people who are less fortunate.
