For many years , Mathijs break away the flora nursery De Noordpoel together with his brother Arnoud . Five days ago , this came to an end . Arnoud was moving on , and Mathijs desire to come up with something else . What incisively , he did not know at the time , but it had to be something that would permit him to make mass happy . In the interim ( and still now ) , he was making a living with sale for Aphrodite Orchids and Mixt Creations , and his married woman also has her own job .
Until two and a one-half year ago , when an opportunity present itself . An honest-to-goodness farmhouse , locate on the Vuurlijn , on one of the few " rural " plots left between Amsterdam and Schiphol , came up for sale , and that was the beginning of the Gasterij . The old house was renovate ; then study was done on the farmhouse and its horse barn , and now , after some delay due to corona restrictions , the door are ultimately open .
House Fair"We focus on both the consumer and the patronage markets , " said Mathijs . " The idea is to host business organization events during the calendar week : fairs , troupe party , presentations , conference . With a nice bite and a drink , lunch or dinner party , indoors or on the terrace , cosy in the De Feesterij ( smaller way ) or royal in De Ambachterij ( the larger room ) . We need to offer entrepreneur in the area a nice positioning in a beautiful setting in which to foregather their customers or present new Cartesian product . "
The idea is for even customers to be welcome on the weekends . " daylight trippers from the area or other places can hold parties and celebrations . We have a nice playing field for the children , a " variation hall " ( for now , it ’s a soccer hall , but we can do anything with it ) , a large hall , a small Charles Francis Hall and also several smaller room . "

That ’s basically what Mathijs and Simone have plan , but nothing is localize in stone . There are plenty of estimate and possibility , including offer adjustment .
GreenVentionThe first successful steps have already been made . The patio is subject , the first parties have ingest place , and at the commencement of this year , the first real cosmetic plant life culture fairish , the GreenVention , was maintain there , with due observance of all the applicable measures . " That was really great . I frankly believe that our Guesthouse is allowing us to offer something new to the sphere . "
