Description
Hi there, nice to meet you!
We are a family of three, we just live across the borden in Germany on a beautiful place.
We live with our mother Mharoeska, she works as a midwife in a town in The Netherlands 7 km from our place. The two daughters are studying in The Netherlands, Joshima who is 23 years old studies Humanistic studies in Utrecht and lives in Germany. Kunda is 26 years old and studies to become a music teacher, she lives in Leiden en Germany. We are open people who love to have good conversations, to eat fresh and organic food from our garden and to swim in the lake 5 minutes from our place. We do have a lot of hobbies and things to share with you. For example making music, painting, doing yoga.
We try to live close to nature with our vegetable garden en animals. We have 4 dogs, 2 cats and a pony. Some of the dogs are big, so you should not be scared of dogs. What's more important to us is people who do not expect a whole day of entertainment and are able to enjoy free time by themselves as well. We are sociable people who loves to share things and do things together, but we also love time by our own.
Your main task is to paint doors and you also help in our vegetable garden, planting the seeds and plants and harvest the fruits and vegetables. But any help is greatly appreciated. Cooking dinner is always an option, too. Also, help with household chores and making firewood for our woodburner is very much valued. We do need help, but we also want you to have a great time so if you want a day off, doing things for yourself, you can discuss that with us. We want to live peacefully together with respect for our needs.
You dont need to be experienced, we can show you everything. But what you need to be is beeing motivated to stay, live and work in a farm :-)
We are living in a beautiful small village close to the town Coevorden in The Netherlands and Laar in Germany. We have a car so we can pick you up!
We would love to meet people from all over the world who have a passion for being outside,
discovering plants and the way of natural living.
Feel welcome to ask questions,
Mharoeska, Joshima and Kunda
