    Description

    Welkom to our family. We, Bianca and Roland, have together 4 children in the age between 17 and 21.
    As soon as your coming over your part of our Family
    We like you to stay at our place, to learn from each other, and we love to show you around at lovely place's like Blokzijl and Giethoorn in the great national park "The Weerribben". We live very close to it!

    We have some nice projects coming up this year where we need some help on. All the help needed is around our house and private garden. The campsite we have built is a non profit ecostay place where you'll meet more backpackers. At this private place we created a little community to have fun and joy together. We are always in for party's, good wine and nice story's from all over the world.

    Your help days are Monday till Friday.
    Normal day: Start at 8, koffie and breakfast at 9 till 9.30 and help till noon.
    After the tasks your free to go and we provide bikes to travel in the area.

    There is an allowance of 50 Euro a person a week for you to buy some food in the supermarket. You can cook in the holiday house where you stay

    Some evenings we like to have a nice chat together with a couple of beers or wine, and some evenings we like to take some time for ourselves.
    The most important thing is that we can trust you, and then you will have a great time at our farm!
