The farm was a great place to live with lots of animals around. The dogs were lovely, the parrot funny and the horses, well I didn't exactly hang out with them to much but I they were nice and massive. The meals they cooked were great and definitely enough. The caravan I slept in was very cosy. Arthur and Aukje are nice people and they liked giving tips for life while we were enjoying dinner or having the pre-lunch break. There were many things to do even though I only got to da little bit. The working times were pretty much what we agreed on.

I absolutely loved my experience at the farm! Besides gaining more experience in gardening etc. I gained more confidence in myself and my abilities. The communication was always easy and straightforward. Aukje and Arthur will not just give you a task, but will explain how it's done correctly and why it is important to them, which was very helpful. But it's much more than just getting the job done. It is about the exchange! I had such pleasant chats with them. On top of inspiring and interesting conversations you will get free life coaching and AMAZING food + endless cuddles with the dogs.

I was asked to leave without much notice, as they said I wasn't a good fit for the role, so I had to make last-minute changes accordingly. I only had two more workdays left and was looking forward to getting out and exploring the local area. Toward the end, it felt like they thought they were doing me a favour, and I started to feel unwelcome. I was grateful for the chats and the dinners, allowing me a chance to work, but overall, I wouldn't count this as an experience I'd want to do again.

hi Abhi,
It is seldom we can’t do a week with a helper, but as we discussed at length, you were looking what you want in life and what your purpose is.
It is definitely not in farming, or practical work, as the flaunting of safety became a huge liability for us.
we wish you all the best.

My stay at the farm was amazing. The house is very beautiful and is surrounded by nature. Aukje and Arthur are excellent people, and they are very flexible in terms of the tasks to be done and how to carry them out. I really had a good time working with them, and I learned a lot. If you like working outside, eating well, and learning new things, the farm is an experience you won't want to miss. Also you will never be bored since there will always be a dog willing to play with you.

This is an experience I would undoubtedly love to repeat. Time flew by far too quickly, and I wish I could have stayed longer. The hosts, Arthur and Aukje, are truly exceptional—so welcoming and kind. The food is absolutely delicious, and the daily interactions were simply wonderful. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, and if you're a dog lover, I'm certain you'll have an amazing time too.
