Vue d'ensemble

• Description

  Come and have a great time on our Farm and Campsite! We are a Dutch family of three which have settled since 2008 ‘in the middle of no-where’. We live on a 10 hectare farm, have dairy sheep and goats (for cheese, yogurt, and milk), four ponies (for the kids in the summer months), two pigs and some chickens. We have a large vegetable garden and an orchard. From May till September we run a small campsite where families can experience the wonderful life of living on a farm in beautiful rural Slovakia.

  So far we have had great experiences with HelpX-ers and WorkAwayers! We would like to go on meeting nice people and getting help in this way.

• Help

  From May till September we welcome volunteers on our farm and campsite. In July and August the work can be jobs on the campsite (mowing grass, horse riding with children, cleaning tents, face painting children, sport with kids) in the other months slightly more on our farm (bringing water to the animals, checking fences). It depends on what is needed and what you like to do. We are looking for optimistic and nice people who like other people incl. children, animals and nature.

  Please note that we do not cook for our volunteers, therefore you should be able to cook. All products we produce on our farm (dairy, vegetables if available), and drinks and bread are on our account. The other groceries are on your account.

  You will have your own accommodation, you should enjoy being on your own, or come with a friend or your partner

  We are far from bus stops, we can pick you up at the nearest bus station (6km) or when you come from Hungary we can collect you at the border (Balassagyarmat - about 22km )

• Languages spoken

  Dutch, English, German, French,

• Accommodation

  We have a private wagon for our volunteers with a bed, kitchen, table, chairs etc. Sanitary facilities are on the campsite and nice and clean. You can make a camp fire or join others who will certainly do.

  We have free WiFi, a small set-up-pool in July and August and once a week we have a communal diner with all guests. It is a great place if you like nature, animals and people. Several hikes start direct from the campsite.

• What else …

  We are very flexible and lots of things are open for discussion. However a minimum stay of two weeks is appreciated. No ‘couch surfers’ for a day or a weekend please!
