The Experience
Good day! My name is Rein, the farm lead for Casa Foresta Farm. What do we do? We supply high end restaurants with edible flowers, herbs and greens grown here on the farm. Throughout the season we grow around 40 different crops for sale. We also supply herbs and mushrooms foraged out in the Dutch 'wilderness.' In addition to this, we host workshops in plant, mushroom, and shellfish foraging. There is a lot going on!

I have to say thanks a lot to Edwin and Sebastian, i really enjoyed the time with them. Its been for me a really beautiful experience with a lot of things to bring in my backpack. I was a little anxious when i arrived but at the end i was sad to leave the place. The farm is magic, beautiful and the experience, if you like to smell and eat, it's magic. During my stay i tried different types of flowers and salads and also really great and healthy food km0. The work is long but soft and if you like to stay in the garden is really nice and interesting, i learned a lot in it. Thanks a lot!

Experience was greatly elevated by Sebastian and Claire- employees who were also there during work hours. I learned lots of plant names and got a new shared hobby with my friend.The work was 7h or more but it was easy. The food was great and Edwin(owner) bought groceries for us.He was nice and genuinely interested in his volunteers having a good time, but had an odd sense of humor and wasn't on the farm much.Short tempered on occasion so I've knocked a star off for that. Good heater so we didn't freeze :) Good place for volunteering with a friend, but I'd imagine it would be lonely without one

The farm has a variety of plants that you can learn about and even try yourself. The food is very healthy, as it comes straight from the garden. The workers there, Sebastjan and Claire, were incredibly kind and made me feel truly included. Also, the heater was a lifesaver!

Everything awesome, all the staff was always trying to make our stay good. the place is amazing and the cat is soo cuddly. nijmegen is just 20 min by bus away and it's a really beautiful city, but there is also the bike path it's worth it, really recommended.

Our stay at the farm was great fun! Such a beautiful farm with some great people to work with. Only thing I would say is the hours are quite long and the work can be draining. Otherwise, I would really recommend this as an experience. Special shout out to Rein who was so welcoming and made our stay so very enjoyable!!
