Fine week had with my daughter at farmer Douwe and his animals. Everything well taken care of and a friendly atmosphere in the yard. In the morning we could walk barefoot onto the grass in front of the tent house and make coffee and cook eggs on the wood stove.

We had super fun days at farmer Douwe and farmer's wife Margrete. Our kids have so enjoyed helping feed the sheep, bottle feed lambs and brush horses. Had a great time on the farm! On the property there is a small store where you can buy products, before 1900 hours you give the order for sandwiches and in the morning you have your hot rolls inside. Cackle fresh eggs you may grab, wonderful time had!

We hebben super leuke dagen gehad bij boer Douwe en boerin Margrete. Onze kinderen hebben zo genoten van het meehelpen met het voeren van de schapen, lammetjes fles mogen geven en paarden borstelen. Super tijd gehad op de boerderij! Op het terrein staat een klein winkeltje waar je producten kan kopen, voor 1900 uur geef je de bestelling voor de broodjes door en s'ochtends heb je je warme broodjes binnen. Kakel verse eitjes mag je pakken, heerlijke tijd gehad!
