We're Rogier and Nicole, your hosts and fellow travel enthusiasts hailing from the vibrant heart of Amsterdam. Yep, we're the dreamers who decided to take the plunge and create our own little slice of paradise, and we thrilled to share it with you! A few years back, we found ourselves nestled in a charming chalet in the Austrian Alps in the role of 'chalet-host'. The magic of that experience ignited a spark in us, and that's where our dream began. Fast forward, and voilà – Amsterdam Farm Lodge was born! This journey is more than a business for us; it's a labor of love. Our philosophy? Sustainability is woven into the very fabric of our existence. From the reclaimed treasures that grace our lodge to the thoughtful eco-friendly choices, we're all about embracing a mindful way of living. By choosing us, you're embracing not just a place to stay, but a conscious way of journeying through life. Ah, our garden – a canvas where urban agriculture takes center stage. Picture yourself strolling through flourishing greens, learning about herbs, and discovering the simple joy of nurturing nature. We're excited to share this green sanctuary with you, and who knows, you might just find a new passion amidst the leaves. Amsterdam Farm Lodge isn't your run-of-the-mill accommodation. Imagine 7 apartments nestled within one building. The transformation of this former refugee center began in April 2017, as we breathed new life into this run-down space. Each apartment tells a unique story. So whether you're an eco-conscious traveler, an urban explorer, or just someone in need of a little R&R, know that you've found your haven with us. Ready for an adventure with a dash of Dutch charm? We can't wait to welcome you!

Experience this 'off the beaten track' accommodation just on the outskirts of vibrant Amsterdam. Our unique 'Amsterdam Farm Lodge' is a haven for those seeking a sustainable and eco-friendly stay, offering a basic but comfortable and spacious accommodation. Nestled within the innovative urban farming project, 'NoordOogst', the lodge offers an escape from the city's hustle and bustle without straying too far away from its joys. Please note that we're not located directly in the city center so check our location before booking. Get acquainted with free-range pigs, friendly chickens, and even beekeeping. The excitement continues with an on-site microbrewery, a captivating butterfly garden, and a delightful restaurant showcasing local flavors. Other things to note: We passionately care about nature and biodiversity. Our gardens might appear 'wild', home to thriving biodiversity including insects. Get ready to meet our free-roaming chickens (don't worry, they're friendlier than some people we know). They might leave some 'gifts' on the terrace, but that’s a small price for the joy they bring. We pride ourselves on our open-minded and accepting philosophy, welcoming guests of all races, religions, genders, and sexual orientations. Our place thrives on peace and respect – no parties, drug misuse, or rude behavior is tolerated. Expect to find some playing kids around as one of our neigbours is a children's day care. For an unforgettable eco-friendly stay in the charm of a farmhouse setting with city accessibility, make our Amsterdam Farm Lodge your destination.

You'll find NoordOogst, an urban agricultural project. Picture this: what was once a football field now flourishes with ecologically responsible food production, creating a lively hub of farmers and food enthusiasts. This project is about more than just what's on your plate; it's about forging connections and nurturing a mindful way of eating and living. Back in 2013, the municipality planted the seed of urban farming, and by 2017, NoordOogst started shooting root and now it is in full bloom. But here's the scoop: it's a temporary haven, set to last until the end of 2026. Within this thriving ecosystem, you'll find 20 unique entrepreneurs each weaving their expertise into the tapestry of NoordOogst. From the gentle hum of bees to sweet pastries and a vegatable growing community. Fancy a bike ride? In just a quick fifteen-minute pedal, you'll be at the NDSM terrain, a vibrant spot dotted with restaurants, ateliers, street art and the ferry that takes you straight to Central Station.
