Detalhes
Descrição
- minimum of 2 workawayers!
We are an active family with a sustainable mindset, with 2 daughters aged 10 and 12 (the youngest has special needs) living in the countryside in the village of Kortenhoef (Amsterdam lakes area) in the Netherlands.
We prefer hosting workawayers travelling together, as we have our own jobs and duties we are not working along you as workawayers. Also our family dynamics does not allow having regular dinners together. This is also why our hosting is not your best fit for learning English!
We keep some chickens and have a land where we host sheep (in summer) and have a cat. So please let us know if your interested and how you would like to support our place and family in the country side between Amsterdam and Utrecht.

Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
We are an active family with lots of space around the house, including a field with sheep as well as a few chickens, children to play with (and care for) a greenhouse where we just started a vegetable garden etc etc. You can go with our bikes and canoe to explore the beautiful surroundings and enjoy the cows and birds in the fields around you or visit places incl Amsterdam nearby (appr 20 km). We like cooking and love nice food and we can share meals sometimes (cooked by us or you), but also need structure and rest for our youngest daughter with special needs.

Ajuda
The tasks can be pretty diverse; e.g. we have gardening and maintenance projects around on the property. We are starting up our vegetable garden and growing in the greenhouse and appreciate your contributions, as we don't have specific bio/agricultural knowledge, but we a lot of enthusiasm and lovely facilities. Also if you like gardening and weeding of flowers/plants and trees (starting early summer), there are always things to do for you and if you're handy we always have some nice maintenance/construction projects.
We would like you to stay with us if you love gardening, including continouos removal of weeds (preferably with some knowledge of what are the weeds) and/or if you're handy and like to do running some errands (creating and maintenance) in the barn, guesthouse, greenhouse, chicken coop etc. We appreciate a proactive attitude and welcome your initiatives for any improvements around the house.
