Two bell tents given real character, opening onto a wooden deck with sun chairs waiting for you to photosynthesise. Cutely furnished in the farm's signature style with just enough rustic comforts: a thick mattress, linen on request, mismatched chairs, a bistro table and landscape art hanging on the canvas wall.
Inside, enough room for two extra mattresses to sleep up to four. A lamp, a kettle for tea or a hot water bottle at night.
Tent guests have access to a fully equipped outdoor kitchen. For showers, compost toilet, and drinking water, there are shared facilities on the terrain.
Fresh vegetables from the farm are available in our on-site shop on Wednesday, with surplus harvest sold via honesty box on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
Please note that from May to September, the outdoor kitchen cannot be used on Friday and Saturday evenings. but you're welcome to join our field dinner on Friday or the neighbourhood kitchen on Saturday (this one is free to attend for our guests). The summer bar is also open on Saturdays.
Fridays bring a three-course farm-to-table dinner. Saturday the community pot. The rest of the farm and its forest edges are yours to discover.

Brent and his team are four years into turning 7 hectares of Belgian Kempen farmland into a living food system. Together they've built something that draws in neighbours, volunteers, and curious visitors for weekly vegetable boxes, neighbourhood kitchen evenings, overnight stays, and a growing calendar of events that keeps the farm humming through the season.
The no-dig market garden, set up in the first season, now produces weekly boxes packed with 5 to 7 varieties of vegetables, herbs, and edible flowers. Three more hectares are gradually becoming an agroforestry system with apples, pears, plums, and rare gastronomic varieties chosen in collaboration with an agronomist from Wageningen University, with one eye firmly on the kitchen. A paludicultuur experiment is turning the farm's naturally wet zones from a problem into a feature. Two stream corridors, a 1.4-hectare woodland, and a growing edge of biodiversity where the cultivated meets the wild.
While these speciality varieties will eventually reach chefs sourcing exceptional local produce, the first to taste them are the people already here. The weekly farm-to-table dinners share everything the farm produces. And this is where things got interesting: community meals have always been part of Saturday life on the Strackxhoeve, but last year a long outdoor table appeared on Friday evenings with three courses, straight from the land. Five events. Five times sold out. This year they're stepping it up: Friday dinners every week through the summer, with rotating guest chefs that already have locals talking.
The Strackxhoeve is part of Lenteland, a foundation that holds the land in cooperative ownership, so Brent and Jolien can farm without land debt. Everyone is welcome to become a co-owner.
