  Description

  We are Martijn and Naduah and from January 2021 we have taken over a farm with many different animals. It is a cozy farm in the middle of the nature. We love to be outside and to take care of all the different animals we have. Our farm is not a business farm for milk or anything else, but just for fun and we let people enjoy it here (like a petting zoo).
  
  We love to travel and have seen a lot of the world (Europe, Asia, Afrika, South-America, USA). With our little baby we were still on the road to South-America, there are no limits :). (Now we also have a second kid, her name is Maya). Maybe that's why we loved to live here: the main reason was to share our farm with other people and let them feel the power of the nature. It was directly a yes for us! Can you help us to make this place even more beautiful and share the travel experience with us?

  Help

  Hi there! :)
  
  We are living in a beautiful spot in the middle of nature, surrounded by trees, fresh air, and peaceful silence on a farm. Every year, when winter slowly fades away, it’s time to wake up the land again—preparing everything for spring and summer!
  
  There is a lot to do: pruning trees, cleaning up fallen branches, getting the garden ready, and making sure the whole place comes back to life after the colder months. We love to be outside, work with our hands and animals, and enjoy the simple beauty of nature.
  
  If you like to be in the fresh air, don’t mind getting your hands dirty, and enjoy working together to create something beautiful, we would love to have you here! After work, there’s plenty of time to explore the forests, go for a walk, or just relax and soak up the peaceful surroundings.
  
  Come and help us bring new energy into this place—we’d love to share it with you! 🌿☀️
  
  You get a place to stay and food, in exchange for 20 till 25 hours.
  We have lots of things to do in the area, more travelers, and lots different of animals, so we are sure you don't get bored here :)
  
  We are looking for someone who is enthusiastic, has a good feeling for working alone ánd in a team. You can adapt in every situation and are flexible with tasks to do. Because not a day is going to be the same :) (which makes life fun!).
