Join us this summer to the first Food Forest of the Netherlands: Food Forest Ketelbroek!
This project started about 150.000 years ago, when in this region enormous glaciers of land ice coming from Scandinavia reached as far south as exactly this spot. Hence a relatively low place was created, surrounded by hills being pushed along.
After a big success with the first summer WWOOF week, we decided to organise a second week this summer! This time with even more farms and gardens in the Netherlands.
WWOOF is a cultural exchange at a sustainable farm or garden, in which the sharing of life and culture are central. In order to truly experience the life of a farmer or gardener, you live and eat together with your host and you share knowledge and skills. You can go WWOOFing in almost every country in the world; and – yes – also in the Netherlands 🙂 Did you know that we have 45 WWOOF farms and gardens in the Netherlands?!
The Farm Experience Internship (FEI) is a course (3 ECTS) created to bring together practice of the farmer and theory of the student, aiming to create bridges between University and farmers. Many educational institutes, in Europe and around the world have developed similar courses, internships or projects, in which students go for a practical experience in a local farm. The results of this kind of initiative are often very positive, as the students can connect what they learned in the farm with their studies as well as develop their critical thinking.
Did you visited the Creative Community Garden already? This is your opportunity! On the 20th of June, Boerengroep will organize Bike Trip #2 to this garden, where Wageningers citizens and students&PhD’ers of the WUR grow their lovely veggies and organize garden days, all kinds of workshops, parties and dinners. We’ll get a tour around the place and a very nice workshop!
