Descripción
We're a belgian couple, Wouter (40) and Leen (35) with a 5 year old boy, Emil and a 2 year old girl, Frida.
We have been building up our farm for the last 11 years.
We started out with a couple of goats to suply ourselves, but this grew into the farm we have now. At the moment we have a herd of 15 cows (8-9 milking cows) from whoms milk we make delicious matured cheese and other dairy products
We sell all our cheese directly from the farm.
We try to farm in an alternative way, as ecological as possible. We had the luck to have found a beautifull valley to do so. Surounded by grassfields and forests, and no neighbours for 2km, this really is a small paradise :) .
Besides the farm we also try to live as selfsufficient as possible by growing our own vegetables, foraging mushrooms, having chickens for eggs, but also building our own buildings.
We build exclusively with natural materials. We very much like building with wood, straw and cob.
We think we could be an interesting place for people who would like to start a small scale farm in the future. Besides the wide range of skills we gained through the years, you could learn a lot from our mistakes as well :)
Our kids are homeschooled. We love to see them grow up in this environment. We love to have families with kids here so they can play together and learn from eachother.Tipos de ayuda y oportunidades de aprendizaje

Loads of projects always pop up, so never know in advance what we are going to do next week :)
Natural building, gardening, preparing firewood, harvesting/preserving food,...
We are not looking for help with the business/ milking, cheese making and selling, but of course we are happy to show you how we do it.Idiomas hablados

We have a cob roundhouse where you can stay. It has a small kitchen and a double bed. No running water and heated by a woodstove. You should see it more as comfortable camping. :)
There is a building nearby where you can get water and take a warm shower (if you heat the woodfired boiler)
We have breakfast and dinner separate and lunch (warm meal) together. On the days off we ask volunteers to cook for theirself. We provide all you need (vegetarian) and you can cook it in your own little kitchen.Algo más...
We work together in the morning untill lunch, usually 8h-13h or 9h-14h. After lunch you can do whatever you like and we have our familytime. We work together 5 days a week, 2 days off.
We have no wifi and phone reception at the farm, but there is reception 300m from us, near the road.
We have 2 bicycles which you can use, bus (2km) and train (5km) connection in the village.
We are always happy to have families with kids here as well.Un poco más de información

Thank you for the nice time together! We wish you guys all the best for your travels and hope to see you once again on the farm!

This was the perfect place to disconnect from the busyness of life. With no internet connection it allows you to be totally present with the peace of nature and your mind allowing you to relax and reset (we had to walk to the nearest church which was an easy 10 minutes). The day consists of an 8 or 9am… read more

Allthough she's still pretty young, she's much more mature than you would expect. Amazing in telling jokes, intelligent, and easygoing person!
One thing: don't mention anything which lives in the sea! she'll get overexcited!! Be carefull!!! ;)
She's a very hard worker, with a very good experience level. She is not a complicated person, as long as you give her enough food on time, she'll be fine ;)
We had her here for about 6 months in winter, which means she's pretty tough as well.
