Description
Dear Workawayer,
We are a familie with a farm in the North of Limburg. We have 4 children, but most of the time we are with the two of us or I'm here by myself.
We love to meet new people and would like to welcome you. Our preference goes to two workawayers at the same time, to visite us for 2 or more weeks. It doesn't matter to us if you are a couple or just friends, you are welcome!
Most of the time you will be dealing with me, Esmeralda.
I'll tell you a bit about myself.
I'm enthusiastic, hospitable and I like to laugh!
I love everything that's creative, from cooking till crochet.
I love my animals and nature.
I love peace and quietness next to music and laughter.
And this is my husband Gilles:
He's calm and he loves to work in the garden en make things with his hands.
He's always in a good mood and the most friendly man you have properly ever met.
He can listen very well and has a fantastic kind of humor.
He loves nature and the chickens are his favourites! Yes that leaves me in second place (;
We have almost 2 hect. of land. There is always lots of projects in and around the garden and the house
You will only be helping in and around our private house.
There are chickens and two dogs and the shepherd puts about 30 of his sheep in the meadow from spring till fall.
We are running a bed and breakfast and hope to open a Teagarden in august.

Things you can expect to do when you come here.
- The coop needs to be cleaned.
- The dogs need to be walked, cuddled and brushed.
(We can teach about it if you're intrested in learning more about dogs: Berner sennen and labrador)
- We also want to build a new coop. Because we have had a lot of chicks this year, if you consider we just had 6 chickens. Now we have 13 more! And we love it, we never expected it to be so super nice to have chickens. Our chickens live free, they just go into the coop at night so the foxes and other predators won't get them.
- Clean inside the house.
- Paint walls or put wallpaper on.
- There are also some creative activities, like mosaics of macrame.
- Then we like to cook, make our own bread and we would like to start making cheese (but we have never done it before, so we could experiment together.) and make our own ice cream.
- Help in the garden

Hébergement
You will stay in our chalet next to the swimming pool, you will have a small garden for your own that borders the meadow.
The chalet is like a tiny house. One bedroom with a bed for two persons, a bathroom with a shower and toilet, a small kitchen, a refrigerator, in the living room is another bed that can be used for sleeping or chilling. You also have a dinner table. We think you have a cozy place to stay.
There is a heater for the winter and an airconditioner in the summer.
From your window you sometimes see the deer in the meadow eating gras or relaxing a bit. It's very cute.
If you want to come with a campervan that's a possibility also. You will get your own space to park and be by yourself.
Autres infos...
We live in between the small towns Afferden en Nieuw-Bergen. Our farm is next to the national park Maasduinen. Here you can make beautiful walks or bike rides. You can use our bikes if you want to.
We have a swimming pool and a sauna you can use in your spare time.
The busstop is 200 m away. You can go to lovely cities. Nijmegen en Venlo. We aspecialy like Nijmegen, because of the historical buildings and cozyness. Also you can bring your own transfer and park it here.

From the start I felt very welcome. I was able to get to know almost the entire family in my first days (because it was Easter), which was a real enrichment. So many great people, all very open and interested. I felt like part of the family. - What a special experience.
