Description
Hello, we, Arjan and Annette, are a Dutch couple living in the north of France on our little farm with our dogs, cats and horses. We try to offer all our animals the life that suits them best. As much as possible in freedom, with the possibility to make their own choices.
We are down-to-earth Dutchmen with a critical view on the extraordinary times we live in. We have not been vaccinated.
We are looking for a non-smoking positive person who loves silence, nature and animals.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are Dutch, so if you‘d like to learn Dutch in France that could be a possibility. Or maybe you are French and would like to learn English, then you could teach us French and in return we teach you English.
Our horses live in a so-called paddock paradise, which is a natural way to keep horses. We could introduce you to the life of horses in a herd. Hoof care and maintenance is done by ourselves.
Annette is a dog behaviourist.
Help
We have all kinds of things to do here on oure little farm. Working in the field, taking care of the animals, painting jobs outside of maybe you can cook us a meal.
We ask a 4-hour commitment, 5 days a week. Of course, this can be arranged in consultation.
Due to other activities we prefer short periods of a week.
