Big fun for little farmers

Last weekend it happened: the cows of the dairy farm Hoeve Sonneclaer were finally allowed out to the pasture after a long winter in the barn! This annual moment is always a celebration – for the cows and for everyone who comes to watch. Hundreds of people were present at this yearly ‘cow dance.’ The sun was shining, happy children stood by the fences, and the cows themselves? They jumped, bucked, and ran enthusiastically into the pasture. A beautiful sight!

Why would you choose a farm holiday? Simple: it is fun, educational and different. In this guest blog from Travel Blog Reischeck.nl you can read why a farm holiday is the perfect choice for the whole family.

That farmer Kirsten from FarmCamps De Buitenhoeve knows a lot about making cheese, we already knew that! But a good farmer also knows everything about cows. Because the milk to make those delicious cheeses comes from that beautiful animal. You may have heard that a cow has not one but four stomachs. They are also called ruminants. They stand in the meadow all day long grinding grass. What is the deal with a cow's four stomachs? Why does a cow have four and we only have one? Farmer Kirsten tells you all about it in this blog.

Our farms are not only home to cows, sheep and chickens. There are also many farms with alpacas. Logical, because no one can resist those sweet, soft, fluffy animals with their funny faces and nice, woolly legs, of course. There are many locations in the Netherlands where you can go for a day trip with an alpaca, including our farm Alpaca Vorstenbosch. But, what about spending the whole vacation with your favorite animals?

Is your daughter or son also totally crazy about ponies, horses and everything that comes with it? Riding lessons at the equestrian center, wallpapering a room with horse posters, wanting to pet every pony you meet or even enjoying having a horse of your own? Or are you just real animal lovers and just want to explore the world of horses and ponies. In both cases you have come to the right place at FarmCamps. Because we have the recipe for a vacation with children full of vitamin P!

Making your own butter, who has ever done that? At FarmCamps Den Branderhorst, farmer Anne-Marie is only too happy to teach you. Laura and her family spent a long weekend at the farm and made fresh butter.

Camping on a farm is a unique experience. In this blog, we share six tips for the best activities for a family holiday on the farm.

Christmas is the time of love, coziness, warmth, family and presents under the tree! But giving an original and cool present is and remains a bit difficult. And if you're not careful, nine times out of ten you'll come home with a gift voucher. We don't mind at all, because nowadays there are so many nice gift vouchers that you can make someone very happy with. But as we already wrote, there are so many, so which one do you choose? If you still find it difficult to choose a gift voucher, we have put out a small poll among our followers especially to help you. We gave you a list of 4 gift vouchers and wanted to know which one you would most like to see under the tree. To give you even more choice, we have added a popular well-known fifth one ourselves. So drum roll... here are the 5 most popular gift vouchers according to our followers (and a bit from FarmCamps) for under the tree (or for another nice or special moment!) 🎄🎅🏼🎁:

Everyone knows stroopwafels, spritsen and speculaas for coffee. But do you also know Kruukplaetjes? As a cookie with coffee or tea, as a snack, breakfast or late night snack. We love them! Anyone who has ever been to our farm on Flakkee may have tasted them. In fact, farmer Annet and farmer Huibert love them and Annet likes to make them with the children at the campsite.

Living heritage, what exactly is that? We'd be happy to tell you more about it!

This time we asked farmer Albert and his wife Annelie of FarmCamps Mariekerke the (farmer's) shirt off his back!
