  Description

  Hey you all,
  We are Dennis and Lindsay and live in a little hobby farm in the Netherlands 50 metres from the border with Belgium.
  People call this the middle of nowhere for Dutch this is as much peace and quiet you can get hahaha.... but we love it so!
  Besides our jobs it is a bit much to take care for so we love your help especially now with painting windows/doors and cut grass and trees wirh view on the farm animals 2 horses, 2 goats, 15 chicken... do you wanna help, don't mind hard working at a farm and enjoy in your free time siteseeing at our beautiful quiet happy place and country? Keep reading 😀
  
  We live surrounded by little farms and fields of green and corns, cows and horses with our neigbours and have lots of wild animal at our little farm like bats, owls, falcons, dears and ranbits who love to enjoy the peace and shelter here to bread. We prefer to see them in the morning when we wake up, instead of a supermarket, town, cars or macdonalds.
  If you don't love nature, many animals, hard working at your tasks just like us and being surrounded by "nothing" just typical Dutch nature and farms (although we believe we have everything) please skip our adress and search on. You will become crazy here, and us too 😉
  If you do love this, and you're easy going and energized, if you respect all life and respect us and our home, wanna learn and live a typical basic dutch farmlife, we like to have you as our guests.
  
  We are Dennis and Lindsay, happily married without children, with many animals. Sinds 2017 we moved out of the city of Breda to this beautiful place we call home.
  We live here with our animal farm 😀: inside lives: 2 dogs Ravi and Jade, 2 gininea pigs Rikje and Ella, 1 cat Roover, outside: 1 big spanish horse mare Maya (with i ride in the woods and do horsebackarchery with) and a mini shet male horse Sjaak, who loves to ride with a carriage or next to the bike. He is our party animal and little big support. 2 goats Winnie and Roosje, many chicken and walking indian ducks (i'll give you there names at arrival) living in the fruittree garden and lots of free animal coming and going or staying at our beautiful biodiversity farm. Like owls, falcons, fox, rabbits and more. Our farm is a biodiversity farm and we work eith "Brabants landscape" witch means we bring back wild and typical dutch trees, flowers, and animals, use no poisons, much different area's, doing everything by hand no or little machinery and rebuilding life and nature like it was in Holland before. We our proud.
  In daytime Dennis works fulltime as a primary schoolteacher and lindsay as a wild animal caretaker in a wildlife shelter for birds and small mammals like dear, hidgehogs, squirrels and many many birds big and small all Dutch inheems not exotic.
  We eat basic lokaal foods and meals, as there is not much variaty nearby like in a city.
  We like our space and rest, but also like to be active and social (hiking, scouting, horseriding, campfires and more).
  
  This is our first workaway experience as a host, we know it as workaway travelers, especially australia, but now we start hosting.
  So we are looking for some experienced, independant, hardworking, easygoing and friendly workaway people who love animals and nature, to start with us.
  Do you wanna come?
  We prefere a maximum of 2 people at once and you can stay in our B&B on the first floor with own entrance. Preferred you come here as a couple, so you workaway with 2 already. If you travel alone your also welcome to contact us, then we will try to find another workaway buddy to stay the same period in the other guestroom.
  who help us with our farm outside and know there way in traveling and working to help us start good as hosts? It's a bit scary to open up our home, but we think it can be great to share our paradise as we are travelars and scouts too.
  We like to have help with: lots of grass mowing, branches cutting at the horses and little wood here, to cut some trees, to give new trees water and please to help us out with paint our doors and windows of the farm.
  
  You can sleep in the whole first level of our farm with 2 bedrooms, a livingroom, 1 bathroom with shower and toilet and beautifull views on the farmlands.
  You can kook yourself and sometimes eat together with us. We cook. You cook. And help eachother in the household to keep the common rooms clean and organised.
  I am at home half days, so you can ask me anything and i like to show you around some times. Maybe some salsa party in the city (breda or antwerpen belgium) or a trip with the horse carrage.
  
  Antwerpen belgium and Breda holland is 25/30 min by car, also a bus stops at 3,5 km distance. But you really nead a car or bike here. You can use our 2 bikes. Or walk to the bus.
  
  Interested? We will have a video call to get to know eachother first to see if our expertations and karakters match fir this adventure.
  Prefered Stay is 2-3weeks, but for 1 you can always ask. For other questions, dont hasitate to contact us. We like to help working travelers to get to know our beautiful country and we get to know your country and personality.
  
  Hope to see you soon!
  Lindsay and dennis , and all the animal, wernhout, holland

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  A lot, just ask!!
  At us you have the best of 2 worlds, netherlands and belgium both nearby.
  
  See nature or visit the citys Breda NL or big Antwerpen Belgium, both have a harbor but Antwerps is most impressive. Also in juli/august i go there salsa dansing at harbor every week a party.
  
  You have to be independable and selfsurportive to stay here, but
  i also like to show you around in my free time.
  
  maybe a salsa party or a hike in the woods with the dogs or horse and coffee with dutch famous apple pie there.
  
  
  Do we see you here?
  We like a videocall in front to get to know eachother before staying. To see if both expectations and karakters match, also with the many animals we have.
  
  If you dont like animals and much nature in your life, please skip our place.

  2 Guineapigs Rikje & Ella

  Loves to squak and make funny sounds. Likes carrots and looking at us cooking. Ella is actually by neighborkids called Cruella, from 101 Dalmatiors Disney, because she has a long stray of white hair and the rest black like Cruella. We call here Ella because she is so sweet and soft. She is best friends with Rikje.

  

  Chickens and indian walking ducks

  Ask there names when you get here. We hsd 5 chicken, but 23 may 2026 our chicken Nugget, surprised us with 9 baby chicklets.
  And we have 4 rescue walking ducks who are so funny and love ot when it rains. They walk in the fruittree area within the wildflowers and have a small waterarea. Sing for you when you feed them and when they see you. They tell the weather when we are working at the farmland: if we here the ducks getting loud and happy and the chicken quiet and gone then it will be raining soon. Go inside. If we hear the chicken again, its dry and stays dry a bit longer.

  

  Cat Roover

  Roover is a sweet curious cat if you give him time to come to you, and respect his territory and sleepingtime on the couch or somewhere in the grass, stables or hay. He lives indoor and outdoor and has it own entrance in the door and also in the yurt door where he comes to sleep with us after an evening hunt. Ofcourse he tries us to be his staff and open doors....and sometimes that works.

  

  Goats Roosje & Winnie

  Our 2 goats are funny and a bit goofy. They love to plsy and cuddle and if you bring them fresh cutted branches and leaves. Dont free them, no matter how sweet there looks are, because they can run fast and likes that game.

  

  Maya & Sjaak

  Maya (big spanish mare) & Sjaak (small shetlandpony male) both sweet, curious and free. Have there own ways in their equi-habitat with walking pads and cozy corners with plants and trees on our farmland and walk around all day to eat some leaves and grass everywhere and watch the neigbors work in the plant-production-fields. Curious, and adventuress. Maya is sensitive, brave, willing to work and strong mare horse from Spsin and loves daytrips in the woods, or cuddling at home under the big tree. Maya and lindsay also like to do horsebackarchery at our own farm or with the clubteam they join.
  
  Sjaak is a mini shetlandpony, a real partyanimsl who loves to play and do goofy things. He makes us laugh and comfort us friendly when we feel tiered or sad. So sweet and active. He loves riding with the carriage or go fast and far next to the bike. Than take a big nap layong down. He is a "boefje" in Dutch, a little raskall, never a dull moment with Sjaak.

  

  Jade & Ravi

  So sweet, snowwhite, big rescuedog from Spain always together with Ravi, the red one.
  Both loves to cuddle next to you on the couch, loves to hike and go on active adventures (with or without you 😜)
  
  Ravi is also my assisting /therapydog for PTSD. He wakes me up with nightmares andflashbacks and guids me in (medical ) appointments to bark when my heartbeat or tension gets to high. He signals and calmes me down or if not he guides me to the exit. He also protects me and loves me, no matter what. And we love him too.
