FarmCamps BoeBaDoe

FarmCamps BoeBaDoe is set in the greenest part of Holland, in the southern Limburg province which borders Germany and Belgium. Pretty little villages border the river Maas and the nearby De Groot Peel National Park is a bird’s paradise. At BoeBaDoe Farmer Bart and his wife Floor have created something really special and it’s no wonder that these farm holidays sell out very fast.

A traditional dairy farm with over 100 cows and calves, BoeBaDoe has transformed itself into a place of interactive learning and play where children never get bored! The cows are not the only animals here as there are also horses, donkeys, pigs, goats, hens, rabbits and kittens to keep company! Floor is a qualified riding instructor and children can ride on the ponies at the outdoor riding school on the farm. Farmer Bart will take the children on a tour on his tractor and teach them about life on the farm.

Children will learn where milk and eggs come from and can also take part in creative workshops where they can make their own yummy pancakes. They can also pick their own vegetables in the farm garden and help mum and dad with dinner. The farm shop sells some local produce as well as fresh bread and you can buy everything you need for an evening barbecue or a delicious farm breakfast. There is something quite therapeutic about being this close to nature and having your breakfast while watching the cows grazing in the fields. Evening campfires where you can toast your own marshmallows also make you feel like you’re a million miles from home.

Upon arrival at BoeBaDoe children are given a workbook with lessons and little tasks upon completion of which they receive a “Farmer’s Diploma” at the end of their stay.

We think that the little ones will not tire of running around in all the open space, jumping on the hay bales, building huts, playing in the mud kitchen and on the go-karts, jumping on the trampoline and swinging on the swings but if you fancied leaving the farm for half a day or a day there are plenty of things to do on your doorstep.
