New at FarmCamps: Thursday Arrivals!

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!

Great news for all farm lovers! We now offer Thursday arrivals, allowing you to enjoy the great outdoors, farm animals, and luxurious camping even longer. Perfect for those who want to extend their weekend or plan more flexibly.

This time we asked farmer Aico and his wife Kirsten of FarmCamps De Buitenhoeve the (farmer's) shirt off his back!

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?
