De BosBoerderij is a for-purpose organisation dedicated to restoring farmland and landscapes. We achieve this by operating commercial syntropic farms, where people play a vital role as Forest Farmers, reconnecting with nature while regenerating the land.

We focus on research and knowledge building through our NGO: The Forest Farms Institute (Stichting De BosBoerderij). Our Steward Owned Impact Company, De BosBoerderij B.V. focusses on field operations and training offers.

Join Our Vision for Regenerative Agriculture

At De BosBoerderij, we're pioneering commercial syntropic farming to transform degraded farmland into thriving ecosystems. As a mission-driven organisation, we're creating a future where agriculture regenerates rather than depletes our planet, while training and employing passionate BosBoeren (forest farmers) in meaningful work.

We have some exiting opportunities both for The Forest Farms Institute (pro-bono positions) and De BosBoerderij B.V. (paid positions or probono positions). Questions? Please feel free to reach out (hello[at]debosboerderij.eu).
