  Description

  Hello!
  
  We are a warm and welcoming family of eight, spread over three generations, living in the beautiful village of Boijl in the north of the Netherlands. Our farmhouse is located close to the stunning Drents-Friese Wold National Park, one of the largest nature reserves in the country. We enjoy the peace and space of rural life and love sharing it with people from all over the world.
  
  We are not a business or an organisation. We are simply a family working together to improve our farmhouse and land while enjoying nature, our animals and family life
  
  Our Project
  
  We are looking for someone who enjoys helping with a variety of tasks around our farmhouse. No two days are the same, and there is always something different to do.
  
  We would love to welcome someone who:
  
  * Loves nature and enjoys peaceful surroundings.
  * Feels comfortable around dogs, cats and chickens.
  * Likes varied work and is willing to help where needed.
  * Is friendly, respectful and independent.
  * Has a driving licence (would be good for you, because we live in a rural area where shops and other facilities are not within walking distance).
  
  We hope you’ll feel at home here and enjoy becoming part of our family during your stay.
  
  We look forward to meeting you!

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  We enjoy meeting people from different countries and learning about their cultures, traditions and ways of life. We believe that sharing experiences, stories and meals together is one of the best parts of the Workaway experience.
  
  As a family, we live close to nature and value kindness, respect and a balanced lifestyle. While we are not religious, we do have a spiritual outlook on life and appreciate meaningful conversations about nature, personal growth and different perspectives. At the same time, we fully respect everyone’s own beliefs and way of life.
  
  During your stay, you’ll experience Dutch family life in the countryside, surrounded by forests, wildlife and farm animals. We’d also be happy to show you the beautiful Drents-Friese Wold National Park and introduce you to the local area.
  
  We hope that by living and working together, we can all learn from one another and create lasting memories.

  During your stay, you will have your own comfortable and private caravan, located on our property. The caravan is clean, cosy and fully furnished, offering you a peaceful place to relax after a day’s work.
  
  The shower, toilet and washing machine are located in a nearby outbuilding, just a short walk from the caravan.
  
  We provide bed linen, towels and access to reliable high-speed Wi-Fi. You are welcome to enjoy our garden and outdoor spaces, where you can relax and take in the peaceful countryside.
  
  Our farmhouse is situated in the quiet village of Boijl, on the edge of the beautiful Drents-Friese Wold National Park. It’s the perfect place for anyone who enjoys nature, walking, cycling and a slower pace of life.
  
  Meals are shared with our family whenever possible, and we are happy to accommodate dietary preferences if discussed in advance. We provide three meals a day, as well as snacks and drinks throughout the day. You’re always welcome to join us for meals, as we enjoy eating together and getting to know each other. If you’d rather cook for yourself, that’s absolutely fine too. Your accommodation includes a fully equipped private kitchen, and we’ll make sure you have all the ingredients you need to prepare healthy meals. We’re happy to discuss any dietary requirements or preferences in advance.
