Biodynamic smallfruits farm
Gelderland
We are a biologic dynamic smallfruit farm in the middle of the Netherlands. We grow different kinds of fruits: raspberries, blackberries, red currends and kiwiberries (very tastefull small kiwi's). I took over this farm from the farmer who started this farm januari 2021 and hope to make the farm bloom again.
The farm is located in the Betuwe, this is the fruit area of the Netherlands. After the farm there is the river the Neder-Rijn. Its very nice to walk there and you can also swim in the little bays. In the summer there are living more poeple here (wwoofers, trainee's etc) and its a happy place where we work together, but also make fire, bake pizza etc...
Organic methods: No chemicals and a lot of love :)
Certifications: skal and demeter 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 inbetween of the picking.
In the spring and autumn there are other tasks: building, weeding, planting, seeding, pruning etc.

Willemien has created such a special place here! I stayed at Fruitweelde for over three weeks and absolutely loved it. I enjoyed the varied work tasks, sometimes together with other volunteers and sometimes by myself. The work day goes by quickly with well-timed breaks for tea and lunch.
It is easy to explore the area on bikes you can borrow from the farm or by bus. There are multiple grocery stores nearby and the food stipend is enough to cook all of your meals. Even on colder nights I always slept well in my caravan with lots of blankets. I loved having conversations with volunteers from all over the world!
Thank you for everything <3

Useful info:
Supermarket is 5 minutes by bike, it's big and it has everything
Eggs from the neighbor's farm in really good prices
Bonfires every once in a while
The proportion of work hours is decent and very well balanced
It's fascinating how one person created a place where that many different people can come as they are, hang out when they want but also have their alone time. I really appreciated that you get your own place. There is a lot of space in the farm other than the common place, so you can find spots where you can sit and chill with your book, laptop, other wwoofers etc.

It was my first time wwoofing and I would recommend this farm for anyone who wants to start. The work hours are fair, Wiellemien is a very nice host and the farm is very peaceful ! I would gladly come back and stay longer than a week and a half :)

I had an extremely positive woofing experience in Explosive Natuurschoon! The farm is well-equipped and organized, and even with a large number of volunteers everything was managed smoothly. The work was clearly scheduled and structured, which made it easy to contribute and learn at the same time, but the best part was that I had the chance to meet and share stories with volunteers from all over the world.
I would definitely recommend this place!
