Rules

Drugs
MyFarm adheres to national statute law regarding illegal drugs, therefore no such drugs are allowed onsite.

Smoking
MyFarm is a non-smoking farm. Volunteers that smoke must do this outside of MyFarm.

Alcohol
We expect responsible behaviour around consumption of alcohol. No drinking during the operational hours of the farm and no alcohol should be visible to visitors, students or staff to respect the culture. Inside the volunteer house can be possible when bottles are taken care of in private.

Working relationships
There are a number of different working situations here at MyFarm. We ask you to be aware of the different boundary-needs particularly relating to friendship e.g. it would be inappropriate to share personal contact information with a minor. Regarding potential volunteers with a criminal background, this must be indicated on the application.
