The garden of the farm, which I completely renovated myself, is available to those who love peace and quiet and enjoy being in nature. In four years I have transformed the garden from a tight lawn into a small paradise. Come and enjoy the tranquility of the Stille Kempen. I myself come from the Ratrace of festivals and events, and find the peace and energy here to recharge my batteries.
