Description
With two families (in the future 4) we are co-living in a beautiful Limburgse Hoeve which we are turning into a place to grow old (in the long term that is :)) with a cohousing group. A dog and many free birds in the garden complete our herd for now.
We think sharing our way of living and learning from others would be great. And we hope we can travel-while-at-home when meeting energetic volunteers from all over the world.
We need help around the house, in the vegetable garden and in the big edible garden.
Hope to hear from you.
Kind regards,
Judith, Jurgen & Juliette

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are happy to share all our knowledge of Dutch culture and language, and discuss all we know about sustainable living (never enough, but a good start), gardening, architecture and project management.
We love cooking and have a well-stocked kitchen, so if you want to learn about weekly meal prep, try plant-based cooking and pick up some new recipes, joining us in cooking is definitely an option.
And ... you would be staying in a real Limburgse Hoeve.
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
A stay of (minimum) 1 to (maximum) 2 weeks is preferable for us. Please let us know which weeks you would like to join us.
Teams of 2 are most welcome!
We really could use your help in the garden and keeping the household going, while we are working on building the co-living building.
Main tasks:
- help in the (edible) garden and with foraging for our dinner.
- help with the vertical vegetable garden
- preparing breaks, lunch and dinners
We are always around on the premises to help you with the task or questions you may have.
We'll evaluate together with you after a couple of days if expectations, tasks & living together work out the way we all hope/plan/want.
Languages
Languages spoken
English: Fluent
Dutch: FluentThis host offers a language exchange
Improving our languages would be excellent, especially our French and Spanish could use some improvement, but training in any language will be fine and fun. We are happy to share our knowledge and train you in the Dutch and English language.
Accommodation
We have a bedroom in the house available for our 2 (sharing a double bed) volunteer guests.
Advice from a previous workaway guest: bring warm indoor shoes :)
We work weekdays between 8:30 and 15:00 with plenty of break time. Wednesdays and weekends are off.
Meals are provided all days during the stay and we have regular coffee/tea breaks. By the way: we eat mostly plant based.
Please cook us your signature dish if you have one! We'll provide you with the ingredients.
What else ...
The surroundings of where we live in the southern part of Limburg are wonderful (for hiking & biking). You can borrow our bike for a ride if you want, or borrow our dog for a walk :), he really likes that!
If you like swimming, bring your swimsuit because there is a great (in & outdoor) pool at a cycling distance.
The train station is 15 minutes on foot and the train takes you easily to Maastricht & Aken or Heerlen - where you can make a tour to visit the many outdoor murals. The train station Klimmen-Ransdaal was voted - again - to be the best train station in the Netherlands.
No smoking in the house and buildings (preferably not at all), no drugs, moderate alcohol.
