  Description

  Hello dear workawayer!
  
  Our fantastic place of 7 hectares is located in the east of Holland. Next to forest but only 15 min away (by bike) from a lovely lively old Dutch town called Deventer.
  
  We live here 5 years now . When we arrived the whole property was a backlog of maintenance. In the meantime we have planted over 2000 trees and created a true peaceful place.
  This needs care and more development.
  
  We are a family of 3, our son is almost 13 and we have many 4 legged members. 2 dogs, 2 cats, 6 horses. The horses live 24-7 outside as natural as can be. You can be sure to learn a lot about them and from them. they are wonderful!
  You do not necessarily need experience with horses but an open mind and some body awareness is welcome (if not present yet, you will develop :)
  
  You wil have an independent house where you can stay very comfortably with 2 -3 p. (2 bedrooms) .
  We love to travel and meet other people but we are not entertainers. So for couples or friends it is perfect (or if you prefer some time with yourself) You will generally cook for yourself and of course we will regularly get in touch or do things together.
  We are looking for enthusiastic "green"people who are social and communicative. You are self starting once it is clear what needs to be done.

  Aide

  We need help with the horses (one youngster who is learning everything) : cleaning, walking, feeding and different tasks in the field : planting, removal of weeds, mowing and wood-jobs.
  About 2-3 hours daily during 4 days per week (depending on weather :) for the rest you can enjoy the Netherlands!
  Some experience with outdoor work (farm) is preferable but willingness is key.
  There is a vegetable garden and we use eco-principles (permaculture, no chemicals).
