Care Farm van der Wijst...

Today I went to a Care Farm where people with intellectual disabilities and traumatic brain can interpret their daily activities. John and Marga van der Wijst are the owners and promoters of the care farm. This has been operational since early 1999. The agricultural branch is a pony / horse pension, pumpkin nursery, horticulture and agriculture. In addition, the farm has a few chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs and dogs and they have a Falabella stud. Fam. van der Wijst owns about 6 hectares of land of which a part is used for growing pumpkins, gourds and ornamental fruits. Another part is used for the grazing of the horses. At the farm are fruit trees with apples, pears, cherries, berries and walnuts. The strength of the care farm lies in the ordinary. People come (again) in contact with animals, plants, natural processes and rhythms.
The farm is a well-organized unit that offers its many potential participants opportunities for development and growth. Also enjoying the animals and nature occupies a very important place. The individuality and abilities of the participants are key. It is important that participants are interested in, and have fun in the activities or enjoy the surroundings.The company structure offers plenty of variety in offerings and capabilities. Through contacts with people outside the company there are opportunities to participate in society... 

Thank you everyone for your nice comments and lovely stars and hearts for my yesterdays Blip! 
My extra photo: Tomorrow is October 1, that means that the Breast Cancer Awareness Month starts again. Like last year I will challenge myself to shoot every day something pink. I will also post every day this Link where I will ask you to click on. Give a click for one free mammogram, click on the big pink bar to support breast cancer research and offer someone a free mammogram. Much appreciated! I hope that more people will get involved in this challenge and will put up this link!
