I live on my farm, a peacful place with love for nature and animals. I am looking for help in the garden (pruning of trees and general gardening as well as vegetable garden) and general maintenance in and around the farm.

I have horses of my own (also retired) and a couple of horses that are stabled here. The owners of those horses come daily and help with mucking out. Furthermore I have a dog and 3 cats.

I had a horse training stables, but am now retired.(I am 70). I have a holistic approach for animals and people and life. I am not vaccinated and believe in keeping healthy and I expect workawayers to have the responsabiliy to do the same.
I gave clinics and training to people and horses. I use essential oils, homeopathic remedies and bach flowers remedies. Before I started the stables I worked 30 years in big international companies in human resources. I spent a student year in California after highschool and lived 2 years in Australia.
I have a sister who comes regularly and helps out in the garden where she can. She is a gardener by trade and also retired.

I enjoyed my short stay on Greet's homestead. She has some good projects going on there and I think she’s gonna do a lot more. If you get the opportunity to pass through Holland and have a few days you should stop and help her out she’s a good smart person, excellent cook!! And I got some great ideas to take home and try to implement into my life.… read more

Peter stayed for about 3 weeks on the farm and did a lot of different jobs during that time, i.e. Pruning trees and hedges, fixing gates, setting up fencing and the like. He can handle tools and electrical equipment well and his work is of excellent quality, he is very meticulous. Thank you Peter for all the jobs that you did for me.

Dejado por el workawayer (Sindy) para el anfitrión

During my stay Greet was very patient when teaching me Dutch, which I really appreciated. I also liked the fact that I was able to work independently doing things I like most, repairing things, gardening and general maintenance. The helpers room above the stables was big but lacked fresh air as the windows faced the stables which didn't allow for… read more

Sindy did a lot of work on maintenance of the farm and the garden. She painted all the outside windows, doors and garden gates. She also did quite a lot of little repairs and in the garden and around the premises she did a lot of weeding. She stayed throughout the summer for about 4 months.
She is a dedicated worker and not afraid to get her hands… read more

I stayed with Greet for 3 weeks and it's been a lovely experience. She's a friendly and welcoming person. Her farmhouse is beautiful and my room was huge. The horses, cats and her dog are all wonderful animals and I will miss spending time with them. We usually had our meals together and it was interesting to hear Greet's stories about her life… read more

Svenja stayed with me for 3 weeks. She helped me with looking after the horses, like mucking out the fields and the stables, preparing the feed and the feeding, cleaning up the premises, stacking a delivery of hay (some 80 little bales) and some weeding. She is a nice person who is always in a good mood and always willing to get the work done.… read more

She is a willing worker and responsible for the tasks that are given to her. Never had to remind, ask or check anything. The things she did here were mainly looking after the horses and the garden. Some hard work of… read more

Staying with Greet was one of the greatest experience I had with work exchange so far. I really felt as part of her life and not only someone who is there only to work in exchange for food. I learned a lot about horses and had a good time with them, Stein (a funny dog) and the 3 cats of hers. I ate really well every day and enjoyed working… read more
