The cows are dancing again! Spring at Hoeve Sonneclaer

If you really want to make kids happy, put them among cows, chickens, and muddy puddles. Seriously. Forget that holiday park with water slides and animation teams – on the farm, they've got their own kind of entertainment. Think feeding goats, collecting eggs, brushing ponies, and romping in the hay. And the best part? They actually learn something too. Without even realizing it.

Camping on a farm? It might sound old-fashioned, but it’s not as bad as you think. This isn’t your typical campsite where you walk around with a toilet roll under your arm or hear your air mattress deflate at night. Here, it’s all about glamping. In other words, camping with a bit of extra luxury. Think of a comfy bed, your own toilet, a small kitchen, and sometimes even a hot tub next to your tent. You’re right in the heart of farm life, but without sacrificing comfort.

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!
