Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
I'm an open-minded person with a view on organic farming and protecting our planet. My way of life is as sustainable as possible. I like to host other people and learn from their culture. I like music and other culture of various kind of people.
Ayuda
on my 3ha organic farm, we are open to people who want to learn and work in the countryside with organic farming and animal care. The help is related to organic farming. All aspects of this will be experienced. Helping in the fields, repairing fences, animal feeding, and taking care. Cutting the hedges, weed pulling, making hay, helping in the fruit garden, etc., etc. Sometimes a little cleaning of the house or my guest homes is required. Like cooking myself and also to meet other cooking cultures.

Alojamiento
You have your own room in our wooden house with a separate bathroom and relaxing room. Wifi is available.
We provide food three times a meal a day. The best food in the Netherlands, because I'm foody. :) Bring recipes from your own country as well!
Algo más...
We do have normal hours with breaks. Mostly we do have a small trip on Friday. Saturday afternoons and Sundays are free. We like non-smoking and enthusiastic people. We see work away as friendship between people, and an exchange of work against hosting and food. Although we do our utmost to create a nice atmosphere for me it's an interesting exchange in working versus hosting and getting new experiences. i
Sometimes work is hard, wet, muddy hot, or dirty. Because it's a farm.
You do not do any production activities because we simply are a private hobby farm.
Remember your input together with my effort will make a nice experience and a wonderful time.

It is a really beautiful place to stay, the surroundings just as the wooden house you are staying at (with your 'own' floor, with bedroom, living room and bath room...all for yourself....)
Herman and Jolanda are very welcoming, friendly and are nice to have conversations with. I really… read more
