On our organic farm (30 hectare) in the North of The Netherlands we have chickens (for meat production), orchards (apples, berry's, prunes) and wheat, potatoes, garlic, white clover, peas, beans and summer flowers. It's not a big farm, but a place where one can do and experience many things. Weeding, harvesting, taking care of the apple trees, picking flowers and berries, cooking, delivering... and end of August, beginning September; apple picking!
Our goal is to produce healthy and tasteful food, taking care of the environment and giving space to birds, plant, trees, insects and other animals. Also the building, that was erected around 1850, needs care and preservation. And we love to share our place with people who appreciate nature, culture and agriculture.
Organic methods: We use chicken manure mixed with straw as fertilizer; we try to stimulate a balanced insect life in the orchards to diminish plagues; we grow and plants to feed different kinds of insects; we weed.
