FarmCamps De Kalverliefde

In the Limburgian town of Stramproy, situated against the border with Belgium, you will find the farm of farmer Johan and his wife Anna, who live here with their two teenage children Sem and Jasmijn and their farm dog Max. This lovely couple met each other at a mushroom farm when they were young and fell in love. Johan, the son of a dairy farmer, took teacher training but got drawn into the farm life. Anna, who is crazy about animals, was up for this too. They started with agriculture and horticulture and later they expanded the business with rosé veal calves and other animals. All the corn that Johan cultivates is used for cattle-fodder and it is very well possible that carrots, peas, beans and salsifies in your cupboard originate from this farm! Not just a love for calves, but also for vegetables! The rosé veal calves, who stay here from the age of 10 weeks up until they are 8 months old, are kept in the stable and are lovingly taken care of. Together with farmer’s wife Anna, you can help to queue up food for the calves and give out vitamins in the stable. There is a cuddle barn with several little calves who are waiting to be petted and fed. The other animals on the farm are crazy about nice food too! You will find nandus (a kind of ostrich, only smaller) on the farm, along with bunnies, geese, chickens, cats, kittens and alpacas. When you are not busy cuddling or feeding animals, the farm is a great place to play. You can go crossing across the property in go-carts, jump on the trampoline or have a nice swing on the swing set. Or would you rather bake cakes in the mud kitchen, build huts in the forest or play a game of football with your new friends? As you can read, there is plenty to do at FarmCamps De Kalverliefde. Calf love may be temporary, but hopefully, we will enjoy this wonderful place in Limburg for a very long time.
