Family farmstay at the border between Germany/Netherlands

We are a very active family in a rural area of Germany right at the border of Netherlands. At our place you can experience German and Dutch culture.

Volunteers are treated like a part of the family. If you are not used to children or you don’t want to interact with them our place is probably not the right place.

A wonderful experience. The flexible schedule allowed me to help out while exploring the region. Spending time with the animals was a joy and made my stay unforgettable. Oma's food was a highlight—delicious and prepared with care. The accommodation was comfortable and had everything I needed. I am very grateful for this experience and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and welcoming place.

Julia and Ighor stayed with us for 2 weeks. They did every work we asked and they were really proactive. Especially with our youngest son Jonah they played a lot and he really enjoyed the time with them. They also loved to spend time with our animals. We can totally recommend Julia and Ighor as volunteers.

We had an amazing experience with Alwin and his family, everybody was so friendly and kindness with us that we felt part of the family. Alwin and Stephanie always were trying to help, indicating places and cities to visit. We learned a lot about the German customs, their typical foods and we had the chance to taste Oma’s food, which is wonderful.

Gratitude is what we have in our hearts.

This experience was so lovely. Everyone was so welcoming and really made me feel like part of the family. I was always involved whether it be hanging out by the pool, or going round to Oma's for lunch! The jobs were easy and never took more than a few hours. The rest of the time I could spend just chilling out by myself or playing with Jonah. Alwin and Stephanie were really easy going, if there was somewhere I wanted to visit I could just ask and they happily accommodated, as well as offering suggestions of places to go. I have nothing but positive things to say about the whole experience!

I stayed with Alwin and Stephanie and the kids for over 2 weeks. The tasks were flexible and diverse and the accomodation is really good, with a small place just for yourself. I had such a really good experience and I had the chance to practice my German (especially with Jonah) and get to know the culture and lifestyle. They also welcome you into their family, making it feel like home and they make sure you have a good experience, always recommending places and things to visit.

I had such an amazing time with them!

The tasks and the work schedule were really flexible. In some days, I was helping out inside, cooking or playing with the little kid. In other days, I was gardening or helping with small construction work; nothing really hard or demanding.

The entire family is so kind and welcoming. I was invited to be part of the family celebrations and had the opportunity to know more about their culture and lifestyle. The facilities are above standard, and the food was amazing (especially Oma's 🤤).

Thank you so much for having me!
