  • Description

    Description

    We are a Dutch vegetarian family who enjoy immensely living a life of simplicity, together with our animals in the beautiful nature of the Pyrenees that surrounds us. We share our ecological place in an idealistic way with helpers and people who come to visit our place.
    We share the care and meeting with our herd of horses with everyone who is interested.
    There is no breeding or renting of the horses.
    Vegetables and fruits are consumed by the people with us (not sold on the market or in shops).
    We love to share our way of living with you!
