Description
We we are a fun and openminded family (my mom (Sandra, 47), me (Lea, 22), my brother (Jan, 20) + our great-grandma (Irene, 90) that lives on an old farm.
My great-grandmother was managing this farm many years ago, so my mom and me had the idea to bring it back to life, as the food one is able to buy at the Supermarket isn’t the healthiest and meats and vegetables prices rise constantly...
We started to farm again...we started with vegetables such as potato, garlic, peas, beans, carrots and many more...We had chicken ever since, so we just added some ducks and goose to them.
I bought 3 alpacas for cuddling them and go for walks with them. We also have 2 pigs and since the December 2020 we also own Galloway cattle.
We rent some of our rooms so there are always cool and international people around our place. Campfires, BBQ’s, parties or just little get togethers with some music and chill is what we like in the evening and most of our guests love that too.
We are looking for people that help us build fences, support us with the animal care and also help us grow potatoes and trees. Some help in and around the house is also needed from time to time.
We are looking forward to meet you.
Greetings from Sandra, Lea, Jan and Irene :)
