Nearby the Weerribben lakes and the Havelte forests and with 3 national parks within a 25km radius is this active dairy farm. Fifteen minutes away by bike is the stunning canal-filled village of Giethoorn, while the Kalverweide itself offers panoramic views of glistening fields from the tents.
A voluntary milking machine allows the 140 cows to decide themselves when to be milked. There are also sheep, over 100 young cows and calves to feed, some needing to be fed by hand. Ask soon after your arrival about your kids helping Goos on the farm and arrange a time. And ask about a “speurtocht”, a sort of Dutch-style treasure hunt. Kids can brush ponies Polly and Nikki or take donkey Lucky and Layla for a walk. Just down the road is the charming and fun Indonesian garden zoo for even more cute animals. Near the farm (Havelte) is a bicycle shop, here you can rent bicycles.
The long table for pizza evening adds much to the fun of creation from loads of different toppings offered and the smoky taste of the result. Papa gets to prove himself there chopping into smaller pieces the chopped wood provided, handy for fire lighting. You can stock up at the honesty shop opposite the farm. It is a very impressive one with its open ceiling, own meat and amazing ice cream. For a little exercise, try the ground-level trampoline that makes parents feel like kids themselves. Or go on a bike tour.
Two farms in one, the barn on the old side is a lovely spot for children to cuddle animals inside. Sense the atmosphere of the 1900s on the old farm and feel like a crofter for a day. A wonderful Overijssel glamping farm holiday!
Receive ingredients, firewood, the recipe, and cooking utensils to prepare a delicious farmer's soup at your tent, enough for 4 - 6 people.
