Vzw Gooikenshoeve is a farm sanctuary that provides day activities to young people between 17 and 25 who struggle with mental health and/or socially. Spending a meaningful day at a farm sanctuary to complement the existing care provision can be very valuable, and for some young people it can be a turning point thanks to its small scale and relaxed atmosphere. The daily activities consist of looking after the farm animals and growing organic vegetables, to help reconnect young people with nature and provide them with calm.
In order to be able to expand the project further, more investment in organic growth is desirable. This would ensure the sustainability of the farm and, as a result, the care of the young people in the long term. The connection with nature and organic growing is used as a therapeutic tool for young people!
