Explore the Farm
Heritage and Values
Playbusid Farm began as a family homestead in Denekamp more than twenty-five years ago. We preserved traditional cultivation methods while weaving in modern sustainable solutions. Every visit reconnects guests with farm rhythms, from the first seed in the ground to artisan cheese on the table.
Our Seed-to-Soul credo highlights the link between healthy soil, animal care, and happy guests. Visitors step into Dutch rural life, discover the stories of our region, and see how we champion biodiversity without compromising quality.

Solar panels, rainwater harvesting, and composting shape the daily rhythm of the farm. Our organic garden keeps the kitchen stocked with fresh vegetables and herbs, while leftovers feed the animals. We monitor our carbon footprint and plant new fruit-tree rows every year to support pollinators.
Guests can join biodiversity monitoring, learn mulching techniques, and practice seasonal bed planning. These insights transfer effortlessly to home gardens and balcony pots.
