When Jan talks about what the Biesbosch brings him, you can hear the enthusiasm in his voice. It's wonderful when everything turns green again in spring, the birds sing their hearts out, and guests start trickling in for the campsite. And it's also a lovely moment when it becomes quieter in the fall and everything comes to rest. It's like the ebb and flow of the tide in the Biesbosch. Dynamic, just like the business. Farming on an island in the Biesbosch also means being dependent on the weather, among other things. With a southwest wind at force 5, the mainland is not accessible by boat. That means doing the shopping a day later.
