Learn about organic fruit farming in Wolphaartsdijk, Netherlands

Detalhes

  Descrição

  Together with my father we run a small fruit and ornamental flower farm. The last five years, since I returned back home from living and working abroad, I transformed the farm from a conventional farm into a partly organic farm. I have worked on several continents, but the farm is what i now can call my permanent home. And I have found a partner who also enjoys living on the farm. I love nature and water. The village Wolphaartsdijk and more places in the province Zeeland have all those things. I really enjoyed picking fruits in my summer holidays as a teenager and working with people from all over the place. That's why I started growing fruits as well, and I work together with the grower where I worked as a teenager. How cool is that! :). The main things I grow are red currants which are mainly picked in Junen and rosehips in septemer and oktober. The coming years I hope to expand in different fruits and flowers.

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  My father is a retired agricultural teacher with a huge interest in the history of the area. He can teach you if you are keen all about agriculture and the erea. I am a young sportive guy who grew up in this area, so I know what things you can do in the area to have a nice working holiday. I travelled and worked in several countries on different continents and found that was the best way to explore a country and culture. With all the farm work it's more difficult to travel, but therefore I like it when I can bring different cultures and people to me.

  Ajuda

  The red currants I grow are harvested mainly in june. In four weeks the berries have to be picked, sorted and packed. I can use some extra hands to help with this taks. It's light work, I have done it as a teenager for many years. But it helps if you have quick hands to pick and are a bit precise.
  I will pay the dutch minimum bruto salary, according to the dutch regulations and effort (). Holiday pay adds on top of this.
  Good quality work is worth a good wage according to my opinion.

  In your spare time I advice you to go to the nearby lake (1 km). It's perfect for swimming and water sports. The nearest city Goes is 7 km, which is good to do on the bikes I can provide you. From there you can take the train if you like if you want to explore more of the Netherlands.
