Description
Nice to meet you! I’m Arjan; a enthusiastic entrepreneur, a organic farmer and i’m 39 years old.
I’ve traveled in the past, but stopped to early and would like to give something back to fellow travelers.
I’m enjoying to receiving motivated and enthusiastic people at our farm and introducing them to our culture and working methods.
We have a farm with 28 hectares of young clay and we produce potatoes, cabbage, carrots and onions. Also we grow various types of fruit on our property.
Beside of all that we have a payroll and transport company and we trade in agricultural products.
In the summer there is a large festival nearby and we are going to transform 5 hectares of grassland into a quit campsite. We need help with this also!
Peace, quiet and freedom are some of the features of our place.
Within walking distances is a small center with a supermarket, restaurants, sports facilities, walking distance to public transport.
Within cycling distances we have the “Weerribben”, witch is a National Park.
The small port towns such as Blokzijl and Vollehove are also within cycling distance and not to forget;
Giethoorn (also called Little Venice). This last port town is a very beautiful place to visit and a attraction to tourists.
There are bicycles available and, if you consult with us, also a car.
The help/working days are max 5 days a week, from Monday till Friday; 7:30 AM to 13:00 PM.
Break from 9:30 AM to 10:00 AM.
After 13:00 PM you are free
Saturday and Sunday you are free, except with harvest work and with the festival season.
Afterwards you’re free.
