We have 19 hectares of land around the farm and several buildings. Our goal is to create a ´makers place´ in a rural area where everyone has his own space to work/ create but we share a barn atelier. The farm is located on a hill with beautiful views and next to a nature reservate.

The Bourgogne is known for its nature, forests and beautiful skies. There is not much to do around here, but that is the beauty of it. It is completely still and quiet here.

Casey (KC) is a remarkable young woman. Only 21 but she is ageless. Very independent and wise. Someone you immediately trust and like. She took on any job that had to be done like she had done it forever. Her specialty is martial arts. KC was so kind to teach my daughter and some of my daughters friends some very cool selfdefense tricks. My… read more

We were the lucky ones to have hosted Bop and her good friend Zed. Both Bop and Zed are remarkable people; very hands on, good humor, good set of brains and just simply lovely. As soon as Bop arrived she took control over my kitchen, shopping lists were made, things re-arranged. From the way she cuts the veggies, to the way she cleans everything… read more

Wow. What an unforgettable experience! From the moment Saskia kindly picked me up from the train station, I knew I was in for something special. Arriving at her breathtaking farm, I was immediately in awe of the stunning scenery. The week and a half I spent there was a perfect blend of productivity and relaxation.

We accomplished so much—putting… read more

When I got to Saskia's Farm it gave me a sense of awe and wonder: what an extraordinary beautiful place. Is this real? I asked myself. The farm is surrounded by green, green and green, here and there other farms are dotted around. The scenery gives an almost 360° view. It's so peaceful and special. Oh yes - there is mostly a wind but in the summer… read more
