    Description

    We are currently looking for 1 person starting in the beginning of April.

    Please note; we only take on volunteers that speak English or Dutch at a good level! So no beginners or intermediate English, sorry!

    Hi there,

    We can use help in and around our house and garden.
    General tasks are walking our dog, cooking evening diner, grocery shopping, some laundry/cleaning and some general garden help.
    A valid drivers license is a must because we live rural for Dutch standards and you must be able to drive a stick/gear car.

    Minimum stay 4 to 6 weeks.

    Your activities will take place at our private home, there is no paid work involved.




    We are quiet busy with our work so we would love to have some help in and around our farmhouse!
    We run a dairy farm , ice cream shop and general farm/dairy store in a small town in "Achterhoek" region in the Netherlands. We milk 140 cows and from part of the milk we make ice cream, cheese and other dairy such as yoghurt and kefir which we all sell at the shop.
