Description
**Update april 2025: We're looking for 2 workawayers for the month may: The main projects that we need help on are: Building a wooden veranda, rebuilding our pont and helping in our vegetable garden that we are transitioning from organic to a garden based on permaculture principles.**
We live in a beautiful farm in the floodplanes of the Rhine, in the east of the Netherlands, between Arnhem and Nijmegen. We live here with 10 adults (aged 23 - 43) and 6 kids (age 0 - 7), a dog, 5 cats, 4 sheep, and +/- 30 chickens. We run a small organic vegetable farm. We live in a way that is as sustainable as we can now, always in for improvements. As a group we try to live as much as possible without rules, but with open communication to make everything work together. We like to be an inspiring place for people who like to live differently, conscious, sustainable, together.
We live here since december 2017, and we're still fully developing the space. 2018 we grew more then enough veggies to feed ourselves, 2019 we started with a self-harvest-garden, 2022 we're feeding 140 people who live in te surroundings. This year (2025) we're transitioning to an even more nature inclusive way of farming. Most of the work in summer will be in the vegetable garden. Next to that we have a wish to develop a place where we can organise workshops (yoga, meditation, dance and other things we love to do ourselves), have groups to stay, etc. We still want to built an outdoor shower, improve our prototype sun-fuelled drying device for herbs and fruits, built a veranda :-) We already manifested a compost-toilet, pizzaoven, sauna, hottub and a treehouse.
For spring/summer 2025 we're looking for people to help in the vegetable garden, and we also have some building projects (a veranda, a shed for our small tractor, and some other things). So if you like to join us, please let us know. We really prefer to have people for a period of 3 to 4 weeks.
We really appreciate it when you make your message personal, tell us why you want to visit us. And for workawayers who live in the netherlands, we will probably invite you to our monthly working weekend first, to get to know eachother. And also people who don't plan to stay longer, are welcome to join for the weekends, just to get to know us and our place.
