Welcome to Red Lock Farm! We are a starting permaculture farm focused on producing food for personal and in the future local consumption. We will be growing a large variety of vegetables, herbs and fruits in our greenhouse, vegetable garden, orchard and food forest.
We are a family owned and operated farm where sustainable living and permaculture is the first priority. We love animals and currently have chickens, geese, ducks, sheep, lambs, two dogs and three cats.
The farm is located in a rural environment, close to the Belgium border in Zeeuws-Vlaanderen, which is part of Zeeland, the Netherlands.
We welcome WWOOFers from all over the world and are an English/Dutch speaking family, therefore speaking a little bit of English is a requirement. We have big plans for the farm which is why we would love to share and extend our knowledge through learning objectives and farm focused tasks with WWOOFers.
We will all work together on the farm and the instructions will be clear. Below, you will find a list of planned tasks/learning objectives for the near future. We have a more detailed WWOOF activity calendar available.
Examples of activities:
Clearing the forest of dead trees
Planting and seeding
Working in the vegetable garden/greenhouse
Building fences
….and many more!
At Red Lock, we have 6/7 hour working days, starting at 8 am. You will have two days off a week. We would prefer if you could work the weekends and take your days off during the week. This way Kley can work together with you. We have bikes available for trips to towns and cities.
Red Lock Farm is a start-up farm, which means that there is a lot of work to do. This also means that there is a lot of learning to do, for us and for the Wwoofer.
We have an apartment with two bedrooms available with internet access. If you travel solo, you will have a bedroom to yourself. The bathroom and toilet you share with the other Wwoofer(s). If you would like to bring your own tent, we have plenty of space on the property to do so. Three meals a day will be provided.
We will try and upload weekly on our social media channels :)
