De Zeekraal

The organic dairy sheep farm, De Zeekraal, is situated in the eastern most village on the island of Terschelling near The Boschplaat National Park, the Wadden Sea and directly bordering the dunes. You’ll immediately get the holiday feeling! First, you’ll take the ferry to Terschelling, after that you’ll take the bike, bus or car to your destination: De Zeekraal!

Activities on the farm:

The Bakker family, Jolanda and Gerben helped by their children Martijn and Laurens, keep almost 250 Friesian dairy sheep on 15 hectares of grassland surrounding the farm. The farm and island combination is just a couple of reasons why this is the ideal Friesland glamping farm holiday. As true islanders, Jolanda and Gerben know the charm of life between the North and Wadden Seas and are happy to give you tips on beautiful places to visit and trips in the surrounding areas. One of these special places is the dunes directly behind the farm where you can begin endless hikes or bike rides. If you want a more relaxed stay then a day at the beach is a must.

A fun activity while you’re at De Zeekraal, is sheep shearing. The farmers do this about three times a week. While shearing, they will tell you everything about farming and the island they are proud to live on. They would also love to show you how their sheep are milked, which happens twice a day. With the milk, Jolanda and Gerben make sheeps cheese and sheeps ice cream! You can find these delicious treats in their Honesty Shop where you’ll also find other local products that will be worth your try. On the farm there is also an area for children to be occupied with some arts & crafts, reading and to play games.
