My time on the farm was wonderful—made so by the other volunteers, the hosts, and their friends/staff on the camping. I especially enjoyed the animal shifts (where I could watch the ducks waddle around their pond, hand feed the deer like a Disney Princess, even run away from the alpacas😉) and the board game nights with Naduah, Martijn, and all of the other girls. The accommodation is cozy and it really does feel like you're having a sleepover with your besties each night. I will remember my time spent here very fondly and hope to see it again!

Such a lovely welcoming place I was so happy here and am sad to leave! The farm is full of amazing people and animals that I will miss :( Naduah is very generous and understanding when it comes to work and there's flexibility with the schedule which is appreciated. The apartment is so cute and cosy, I will miss movie nights and cuddling the cats it really feels like home 🩷

I absolutely loved my experience! All the people here were so kind and I loved being around everyone. The work was good and the hosts were really flexible with it. Another Highlight were all the different sweet animals, the horses we were working with and the cats in the apartment. I would recommend this place to everyone and also definitely would come back 🫶🫶

I had an amazing time at the farm! Naduah, Martijn and everyone working at the farm were so nice and welcoming! The work was absolutely adequate and the schedule was always flexible if we needed some time off! In our free time we could go wherever we wanted and if we asked we could take the ponies for a ride in the forest or in the arena! 💞 I feel like you have to be independent at arrival and ask if you don't know something. But once I got settled in, the apartment really felt like a second home to me! I will miss the camping the girls I met there 💓

Amazing! This place left a mark on my heart and I hope it does to yours as well. <3 The host, Naduah went out of her way to help volunteers and was so supportive and fun to be around. The cats that live in the apartment are the best cats in the world! If you're an animal lover that doesn't mind hard work, is good working on a team (and loves it!!), wants to disconnect and be among nature (the forest trails are incredible) and wants to feel like you're at a big sleepover every night, do apply. You can ride horses when they're available, borrow a bike to go to town, and swim in the lakes.
