Description
We are a family of 5 and have an old converted farm in a beautiful area of the Netherlands overlooking open fields. We are extremely well connected and only a 10 minute walk to Breukelen station which takes you into Amsterdam in under 30 minutes or Utrecht in around 10 minutes! You don't need transport but a bicycle might be helpful :)
We have lots of land and have a wonderful organic orchard where we need some help picking apples, pears, plums and walnuts as well as other outdoor tasks such as grass cutting, painting outbuildings and general maintenance. We also might need the chickens looked after occasionally.
We are a small private family homestead and the produce is just for our own enjoyment. This is not a commercial placement.
We have plenty of space to camp so ideally looking for caravan. campervan or camping guests where you can camp right by the orchard in the middle of the open fields, it's a stunning location! We can provide a large tent if required and access to running water.
We’re looking for someone (or a couple) that’s hands on and prepared to help 4 hours a day in return for staying.
Available NOW from Sept start.
Looking forward to hearing from you! :)
