Permaculture farm in Zeeuws-Vlaanderen
Zeeland
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 :)

I spent two week in the farm and had an amazing time here. Karen and Kley are very welcoming and sweet, they always make sure I have everything I need. They make me feel that my work is valued and truly appreciated.
For the farm work, you will get to work on different things everyday and never a dull moment on the farm. I get to learn a lot about different machines and what we do is very rewarding. Taking care of the animals is one of my favourite things to do, I can tell they are happy here as well. And I will definitely miss that two dogs, they are amazing!
I was expecting to lose weight with all the hard work, but they feed me with very delicious food everyday and I enjoyed every meal and the conversation we had on the table.
This experience is 100% recommended! I hope to visit again. Thank you for everything .

I enjoyed my time at the Red Lock farm. Karen and Clay are very kind and welcoming. They have beautiful plans for the farm and a lot of knowledge about organic farming.
The work on the farm was very varied; I got to work with various power tools, learned about tree care, watering systems, co-planting, and more...No two days were the same. It was nice and rewarding to see the results of our work every day!
Karen and Clay, thank you for the time I got to help and learn at the farm, the interesting conversations, and of course, not to forget, the delicious meals!
I would definitely recommend visiting!🌱🍀

Karen and Kley were nice people!! Thank you so much!
I stayed just 9days, but I could feel Dutch culture and enjoy working. It was special week for me. I'm not good at using English but the communication with them and other wwoofer was super fun and interesting! I hope to come back again!

Karen and Kley are amazing hosts and people!
I stayed here for a month at the start of their hosting season, March. I would definitely recommend staying here for upwards of two weeks, to get a good feel for the farm and learn to do a variety of things! I did many different tasks, it was never too same-samey or dull. There are sheeps, chickens, ducks and geese to work with, and dogs and cats to enjoy!
Karen and Kley are lovely people and excellent chefs, and love to share information and knowledge about farming and recommendations for the area. The two days off a week is usually the only time I did not eat with them, but food is always provided. The apartment is very tidy and comfortable, with access to an outdoor kitchen whenever it might be needed.
I felt very comfortable and accommodated as a solo traveler, and with the other wwoofers that came into the farm. There are bikes to use as you wish, even on work days as we were typically done by 14:30-15:00 with dinner at 19:00. I was able to visit Bruges in a day while I was there, and Ghent, Antwerp, or places in the Netherlands would also be doable.
Absolutely recommended for anyone who wants to put in satisfying work and see progress on this beautiful little farm!

A very pleasant experience , everything is done to make you feel comfortable on the farm.
I spent two weeks on this human-sized farm. Moreover, Karen and Klay are very welcoming. I had the opportunity to work with interesting machinery.
Our main tasks were planting trees and taking care of the animals (chickens, sheep, and geese).
The surroundings are great for going on walks during the two days off each week.
In short, thank you for the warm welcome at The Red Lock Farm!
