Live outdoor life in an area with urban agriculture in Almere, Netherlands

Infos

  Description

  We live in the self builders area in Almere Oosterwold. Half of our plot is urban agriculture, so it is very green. We have designed it with permaculture and foodforest ideas in mind. We are building our house from the ground up with mostly natural materials: timber and hempcrete. We have a very green neighbourhood with a strong community. Our neighbours are great people.
  
  We could use help with small building projects around the house, such as making a wood storage. We are building the house ourselves. You don't need to work on that, but we can share our experiences. If you are more into gardening then there is also plenty to do and learn. Preparing vegetable beds, creating borders for the veggie garden (willow weaving or wood), sowing, planting, harvesting, preserving the produce, and eating it :)
  
  Hamish is into photography, welding and computing. Barbera works as a data analyst and in her spare time she loves to garden, cook, and work on small diy projects (e.g. drawing, sewing, basket weaving, wood cutting, etc). We can share our knowledge about these things with you. In the weekends we work on our house. We have a cat called Bertje.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  We can share our knowledge with regards to natural building materials, gardening, welding and cooking. Furthermore, we can share our knowledge about computer related stuff, such as photoshop and programming in Python. We expect you to speak a bit of English (or Dutch), but you can improve your English or Dutch with us as well.
  
  Barbera is interested in international cuisines. It would be nice to exchange recipes. Our neighbors are very nice people. You will most likely run into them.

  Aide

  We could use help with our vegetable garden, and things around the house, such as sorting fire wood, and small build projects. We have a couple of ideas for build projects in the garden, such as building a wood storage, creating borders for the vegetable gardens, etc. Sometimes there are projects that you can work on yourself, other times we work together. We welcome your own ideas for projects.

  Hébergement

  You will sleep in a large mobile home. As soon as the living room is empty you will have a relatively large space with a wood stove. We have lived in this caravan ourselves for a few years. The bathroom and kitchen in the caravan are shared with us, because we need to finish the plumbing in our house. There is a compost toilet in the bathroom. If we take turns emptying it, then everyone is happy.
  
  Barbera loves to cook, and she cooks upfront, so there is plenty of food in the freezer. If you prefer to cook your own meal, then that is also an option. You do not need to cook for us, but if you are a good cook then we would love to learn from you. We can also take turns when it comes to food.

  Autres infos...

  The area we live in is quite special. It is really nice to explore the area by bike. We are a bit further away from public transport, but if you take the bike to a bus or railway station then you can easily go to cities, such as Amsterdam and Utrecht. You can also get a lift to Amsterdam, because Barbera works there. By car that is only 30 minutes.

  Sweet cat, but not very cuddly with strangers. He will probably be curious about you, and check out what you are doing. He never comes when we call. Don't touch his belly or feet.
