Descripción
Welkom to our family. We, Bianca and Roland, have together 4 children in the age between 17 and 21.
We like you to stay at our place, to learn from each other, and we love to show you around at lovely place's like Blokzijl and Giethoorn in the great national park "The Weerribben". We live very close to it!
We have some nice projects coming up this year where we need some help on. All the help needed is around our house and private garden. At the campsite you'll meet more backpackers. At this private place we created a little community to have fun and joy together. We are always in for party's, good wine and nice story's from all over the world.
Your help days are Monday till Friday.
Normal day: Start at 8, koffie at 9 till 9.30 and help till noon.
After the tasks your free to go and we provide bikes to travel in the area.
There is an allowance of 50 Euro a person a week for you to buy some food in the supermarket. You can cook in the holiday house where you stay
Some evenings we like to have a nice chat together with a couple of beers or wine, and some evenings we like to take some time for ourselves.
The most important thing is that we can trust you, and then you will have a great time at our farm!

Laura and Santi, have been the perfect couple to help us on the farm. They where always open to do whatever asked. And even more as they always see the work and offer their help. They are really hard workers. A lot of fun and Laura is a good singer...:wink:.
Have fun travelling and we recommend you to all the hosts.
Cheers! Roland and Bianca

We were at the house of Roland and Bianca for 2 weeks and it was excellent. We slept in a very complete caravan with bathroom, kitchen and couch. The work isn't hard and, fortunately, it is very varied, like cutting grapes, helping to make wine to Roland's father, selecting potatoes, cleaning, etc. There is always work to do.

We spent 10 days with Roland and Bianca during September. It was a great time with them and their family and they are really nice people. The mobile home where we slept was really comfortable and well equipped (nice kitchen and living room shared with other workawayers, bedroom and shower/toilet apart). We worked most of the time in the vineyard… read more

We stayed here for about 2 and 1/2 weeks and had a great time. Work was pruning the grape vines and removing excess leaves for 3 and 1/2 hrs per day, usually with the company of Tarzan, their beautiful dog. Hours are as described, starting at 8am, coffee break at 9 then finishing at 12. So you have the whole afternoon to explore the local area as… read more

I had two great weeks at Roland and Biancas home in the north east polder! It was very interesting to get a small glimpse into the hard work that goes into running a farm, vineyard and shop.
I got to work both in the fields and with the vines. As the work lasts only until lunch you get plenty of time to explore the beautiful surrounding area… read more
