Descrição
Dear Workawayers, welcome to our profile.
Frits is a photographer and regularly looks for photo models. If you have courage and dare to pose, you will be compensated like beautiful photos further depending on the type of shoot. Requirements are: photogenic and courage. Experience is therefore not a requirement, only commitment.
For volunteers who come to visit large cities, for example Amsterdam or Rotterdam, it is not wise to choose us. Our farm is located off the beaten track in the middle of a beautiful and peaceful landscape, next to a tiny village. The first supermarket is 4 km away, we always have a bicycle to borrow :-).
We are looking for volunteers who are responsible and who can empathize with our spiritual farm, age is not important and in a good physical health is preferably. It is an old farmhouse from 1800, you get your own bedroom and the kitchen, bathroom and living room you share, sometimes with other volunteers and with Henk (one of the residents).
Frits (owner) lives 30 km away (he is a partime resident), but is on the farm about 4 to 5 days a week. From the beginning of november '23 there are two more residents Jack and wilna. And since a month Lisette is also a new resident.
The first point of contact is Henk and Frits keeps the overview.
With regard to the food, all basic ingredients are standard in the house (pasta, rice, potatoes, herbs etc etc) we also give each volunteer a budget to buy his/her own groceries (so you don't pay for that yourself!), everyone eats differently and we think it is much nicer to be able to choose your own food. Sometimes we eat together, but usually you cook for yourself, that way you also determine your own times. You might also like to cook for us ;-) and we will also cook for you sometime...
The farm is located in the east part of Holland, near the german border. With an amazing lush and green area and a really nice lake to swim within 3 km distance.
Besides this we have a nice retreat centre with apartments for people who want individual retreats in nature, silence and reflection, and consciousness as the leading theme.
Some words about the place:
sustainable, quietness, special atmosphere, space, nature, retreats, awareness, openness, free thinking, taking care.....
Poultry, a dog and a cat running free, a vegetable garden, farmlands, forest and natural beauty surrounds the farm, with a nice swimming lake nearby.
We offer varied activities for volunteers, but above all an open and direct communication with a hands on mentality.
We 'd like to get some help around the house and in the garden.
------------------------------------------
-We ask for a minimum stay of 3 weeks, the first week to be used to find out if we match. If things work out well we may like to have you for a longer time, if possible.
-What we find most important is openness and honesty. Share how you feel and what you are doing. Consciousness and responsibility are also part of our important principles. Be observant with an eye for the small. Clean up your mess, close doors and windows, turn off the lights and don't walk in with dirty shoes. Logical habits for all of us, but certainly not for everyone :-).
Curious about us? Send us a message with your motivation and skills and preferable with your phonenumber and email so we can speak to eachother.

Once or twice a week we have a shared meal.

Lisa, you are always welcome here and we hope to see you again.

She is practical and doesn't mind work :-).
We think the number that represents her age does not suit her, because she is very young at heart and energetic.
We can really recommend Nicole as a volunteer. She was with us for 3 weeks and did a very good job, i'm happy with it.

Wishing you all the best, thank you for making my time in Haarlo unforgettable.
Kind and warm regards,
the team.
unfortunately I didn't seen to connect with the host, he seemed very stressed at the time and the place feels a little bit more like a business then a home.
I don't blame him for it i still had a great time, it just made me feel a little awkward.
At 19 years old, he is still very young and sometimes you have the feeling that you have a big teenager in your house :-), you see his coat everywhere and he regularly leaves his things lying around behind him.
We didn't mind that too much, his character makes up for it… read more

He was with us for about 4 weeks.
Very private, but when you start a chat he tells you plainly.
He has his own philosophy of life and lives off gifts and what people think he is worth, a nice thought.
He is very handy and works at a leisurely pace towards a good end result.
We wish Matheus all the best and perhaps… read more
