We are Kernfarm

Diederik gets energy from long-distance cycling, boxing and sushi. Breeding walking branches, watching those tiny little branches hatch and the meditative aquascaping of his home aquarium are the calming counterpart. On his bucket list are learning to wave surf and a trip with his family to Madagascar.

With ''Go for it'' as his motto you can feel that Tim is always in for adventure and wants to go for it. Not for nothing that he is the one who left for the UK with his family and dog Buddy to build up the business in the UK. If there is any time left, an adventurous trip to Africa is high on his wish list.

At home dog, chickens and an energetic family eagerly await his arrival, a warmer welcome you can hardly imagine. Need a good conversation in the middle of the night? Then Diederik is your man. Is there anything left to be desired? Certainly. To go out into the world and discover what else it has to offer him.

Gijs is always up for a good joke, playing golf and seeing what else the world has to offer. If you hear Ibiza Lounge music coming out of the speakers at the office in Breukelen, then you know DJ Gijs is at the controls.

She loves her grandchildren, puzzles, dogs, cats and crafts. Her guilty pleasure is Tony's Chocolonely and on the wish list is a trip to America.

They sometimes say, "the best thing about leaving is coming home. That is certainly the case with Rebekka. When she opens the front door, her three Shih Tzu dogs jump on top of her. Besides dog happiness, she can also intensely enjoy wandering around a craft fair and all kinds of creative machines. Her house looks like a hobby print shop; if you come for a drink at Kernfarm, your glass might just be decorated by Rebekka.

Sonja has a weakness for yellow M&Ms. You can even wake her up in the middle of the night for these. Still, she does best on healthy food and dreams of running the marathon in New York. Encouraged by her family and cat Sjakie, whom she has loved to take everywhere with her as a cheerful companion for 16 years.

For Formula 1, Stefanie stays home on Sunday afternoons, and you can wake her up in the middle of the night for this as well. She also races herself when she has driven up the driveway to quiet her dogs and cats. They know that barking and whining will get them lots of hugs.

After work at home, in Veenendaal, cat Mira is waiting. Mira chats away to Marjolein. That is super fun, except if, like Marjolein, you like to read a good book. Learning archery and a vacation to the mountains seem to be great fun. Before that happens, she enjoys herself in the nature around her house.

When Hilde sleeps like a log at night, cat Messie is often on the prowl to find a little gift for her. But what Messie doesn't know is that the best way to spoil Hilde is to give her time for her great passion, horse riding. However, she still has to stand on the sidelines from time to time, whether it's for Messie or for her soccer-playing son and daughter.

At home, it is not the chicken, but the cat that is her shadow. And her rabbits, kids and wife also enjoy her positive spirit. She prefers to put them all in an RV and drive it along the most beautiful natural sites in the US.

In Rosemieke's view, every animal is unique. That doesn't just sound like a mini-poem, it actually is. This is her ode to horses, dogs and cats, all with their own personality. If you ever want to wake Rosemieke up at night, do so only if you have an Indian meal ready, then she will surely forgive you.

At home, cat Ginger is the boss of her family. This headstrong kitty refused to go through the cat flap from day 1, why should you when you have staff to open the door for you? Ginger enjoys her singing and guitar playing daily. Air guitar she hopes to one day play from a hot air balloon. This descent is high on her bucket list!

Ingrid rejoices in her two sweet god dogs: Bernese Mountain Dog (Lou) and a Golden Retriever (Floor). Besides a hug from these lovely lobbies, you can wake her up in the middle of the night for a meatball in sauce from Loetje. She dreams of one day traveling through Thailand as a real backpacker, with one of those smelly backpacks.

At home, Andre has his own orchestra. With 4 adopted dogs, 1 cat and 4 horses, he is quite scrubbed down and it is a cozy animal mess. In his dreams, he even has an easel. One of those you can paint on. Try waking him up and you'll have to come up with a very good reason!

At home, Nicolette would like to be a cat, living on a farm with all the farm animals you can imagine. And then being the boss of the farmyard, wandering around nice and relaxed and eating chocolate whenever you want.

Although he prefers a house full of dogs, he himself would rather be a cat. They are so relaxed. He can already see himself sitting on one of those sleds with huskies in front of it, being pulled through a winter landscape.

Perhaps that sniffing is also the reason why she would prefer to be a dog. But her family also demands her attention and her cat Evi regularly taps her on the shoulders for some quality time. Should there ever be some time left, Ingrid would like to travel; by land, sea or hot air balloon!

Sitting still is not Minke's thing, but once she's asleep, it's better to leave her alone. That's when she dreams of finally being tall, like a giraffe. Tall or short, we consider Minke a top performer.

He also enjoys a salty herring all at once, so his throat is ready for a nice tune. Pieter dreams of being able to sing well. And because we at Kernfarm love karaoke, we are naturally very happy to have such a singing talent!

You wouldn't expect it, but at home Eric is surrounded by horses, goats, chickens and a sheep instead of swines. The goats regularly break things down. nevertheless, Eric cannot get angry with them because they are so sweet and cuddly. Eric has no ambitions to turn himself into an animal, but if he could choose, he would like to see the world from a great height as a white-tailed eagle. Would you like to help Eric out of his dreams? Then bring him champagne, you can always wake him up for that!

Koen’s loyalty is obvious. When he hits the sack, he dreams of playing the violin very well. But even then, a friend can always wake him when they need his help. At home the first violin is played by his cat, who dominates the orchestra of dogs, goats and chickens.

Whilst enjoying a beer, he likes to look out over his meadow at his pig... ehhh horse. If it was up to him, he would have a whole herd of those. Fortunately, he lives in a nature reserve where there are many Exmoor ponies and Tauros cows to admire. Because he spends many hours working with horses, Hans is also the right person to contact with questions about the horse portfolio!

Real diving is still a dream she is gathering some courage for. For now, she rather dreams of travelling around the world in a hippy van, to a warm destination. Her acrobatic hamster next to her in a hutch, her husband and children in the back seat. Luckily for us, she still puts her navigation on Kernfarm in Breukelen.

Scavenging is also done at home. By her chickens. Together with her sheep and cats, it is like a petty animal farm at her home. Nothing is too crazy, but keep your hands of her sleep. Because at night, Marieke dreams about taking a trip around the world in her army truck camper. Of course, we hope she puts that one off for a while!

At home, the schedule is geared to husband, children and the goldfish that wants to be fed every day at 6pm. Family expansion is imminent in the form of a guinea pig, or will it be a snake after all? Lieke dreams of taking a nice trip to Namibia. You can wake her up for that! When asked what else you can wake her up for, Lieke's answer is: only to tell me I can sleep for a few more hours. That way she can get back to rocking Kernfarms logistics!

In contrast to her greyhound, who often runs around like the hare and then falls asleep like a log, Esther is not easily flustered. Although, she does consider herself a bit quirky; she associates herself with a panda - cute, funny, and sometimes a bit silly. We think these are naturally delightful qualities at Kernfarm.

Interestingly, he would like to be a lion himself, so 'king of the jungle' suits him well! Besides spending time with family and friends, you can also find him outdoors a lot, where he trains with his hunting dog. Getting his motorcycle license is still on his wishlist. Yes, he is not a chicken!
