We are a biologic dynamic smallfruit farm in the middle of the Netherlands. We grow different kinds of fruits: raspberries, blackberries, red currends and gooseberries. I took over this farm januari 2021 and my mission to make the farm bloom again, to create a little peace of earth where plants, animals and people live and work together happily and produce healthy food. The farm is located in the Betuwe, this is the fruit area of the Netherlands, but there are not many other organic farms. Next to the farm there is the river the Neder-Rijn. Its very nice to walk there and you can also swim in the little bays and there is much more beautiful nature to discover around the farm. In the summer there are several people working and living here (wwoofers, trainee's etc) and its a happy community place where we work and live together. After work the volunteers also often do things together like exploring the surroundings by bike and I like to organise campfire and game evenings for everyone. Organic methods: No chemicals and a lot of love :) Certifications: skal (organic) and demeter (dynamic) certified Type of work: There is a lot of different tasks to do at the farm! In the summer we are mostly picking the fruits, sometimes we weed or do other tasks in between of the picking. In the spring and autumn there are other tasks: building, weeding, planting, seeding, pruning etc. Internet access available

We had a nice experience at the farm. The work is varied, with fruit picking in the summer and the possibility to work indoors weighing and packing the produce. The atmosphere is very friendly, with tea and biscuits during breaks and campfires some evenings. It’s a great place to meet people from everywhere and enjoy the farm experience. The accommodation is quite rustic, so it’s good to come prepared for a simple stay haha But overall we really enjoyed our time there with Willemein and the other volunteers !

I had an amazing time at the farm! Willemien is a wonderful host, she is clear with her communication. She showed me around and explained everything I needed to be careful with. She has incredible know-how, and it was wonderful chatting with her and the other Wwoofers. Thank you so much for having me. I really hope to come again!

An excellently run volunteer farm! With good kitchen, washing and living facilities (outdoorsy and well run); coffee and cookies (and much lemonade and plentiful cake) to look forward to at the break; a friendly, happy atmosphere; and fair work to do. You can choose at the check-in before shifts what kind of job you want to do, like picking berries outside or weighing them inside. There's a gorgeous lake nearby that we swam in nearly everyday. And up the road from that is a little dairy farm where you can get ice-cream made right on site! Wonderful place, Willemien (the owner) is super cool, we'll definitely be coming back :)

I had a wonderful time during my stay at Willemien’s farm. Willemien created a fun and welcoming environment where it was easy to meet and connect with people from all over the world. I was very impressed by how organized and responsive Willemien was when it came to communication and running the farm. There are set work hours, with some opportunities to start earlier to beat the heat on hot days. The workload was not too heavy, and I truly enjoyed doing it. The farm is located in the beautiful countryside, but getting to the city is definitely doable. There are plenty of bikes available for use to explore nearby areas or to get to supermarkets. I have nothing but positive things to say. I think I can speak for everyone that the hardest part about this experience is having to leave when our stay comes to an end. It truly was the best WWOOFing experience I’ve ever had. (: Dank u wel, Willemien!

I stayed for 10 days in the farm and it felt so short! Willemien has created a wonderful place, I always felt like at home and she was there to help with anything. The work schedule is very clear and you can choose the task you prefer to do. Berry picking was my favourite, although there are many other things to do :) The area of the farm is very beautiful, where you can enjoy amazing sunsets, a bike ride with the other wwoofers, a swim in the nearby lakes or a delicious ice cream in a close farm. I definitely recommend staying here if you like living in touch with nature and having the opportunity of meeting many people from around the world! And also a very friendly cat that is the king of the farm ;) Thanks again Willemien for making this experience possible, I'd be very happy to return one day. ¡Muchas gracias!

An unforgettable stay! I stayed for 1 month and half I met so many kind people it was my first time so i was a bit anxious about it , I couldn't have asked for a better 1st WWOOFing experience ! Weekends were free to explore around and you have a lot of bikes available. Willemien is a really caring person and created an amazing space i felt safe, I was so happy to be here I recommend it a lot !!Thank you so much for the opportunity to stay here !<3
