  Description

  This is an NGO that works with disabled people. It was started in 2011 by me (Imke) and my husband André.
  We have a small animal farm with rabbits, cats, donkeys, geese, chickens, scheep, pigs and a border collie dog.
  With the people we make a useful end fulfilling day by working together; feeding the animals, working in the garden, creative activities like painting and pottery, cooking and having lunch and do some housekeeping.
  Our key words are, working together, respect, nature and sustainability.
  The food is vegetarian.
  Our farm is situated close to the Belgium border near the city's Brugge and Gent. We have bikes available for your transport.
  We work here with a small team payed workers who work with the disabled people and volunteers.
