Judith en Bart (Winter Vol Liefde) Starten Crowdfunding Voor Boerderij

Judith and Bart, farmers in the French Pyrenees, have launched a crowdfunding campaign to purchase the farm where they currently reside. According to an Instagram post, the property owner must sell the farm due to specific circumstances, leaving the couple to seek financial support to exercise their first right of purchase.

Why are Judith and Bart crowdfunding for their farm?

The couple needs external funding because the owner of their home is selling the property. Judith has farmed in the French Pyrenees for four years, while Bart has lived there for two. The couple stated on Instagram that they hold the first right to buy the farm, but the sale is happening “a bit too early” for their current financial situation.

They described the farm as a “small paradise” that they wish to preserve. To avoid losing the property, they are calling on their followers to contribute to a crowdfunding effort.

How can supporters contribute to the campaign?

The crowdfunding campaign provides multiple tiers of participation. Supporters can symbolically adopt one of the farm’s animals to help secure the animals’ home. This option is presented as a way to contribute directly to the farm’s stability.

Other options include becoming a “pioneer, guardian, ambassador, or partner.” In exchange for these contributions, donors receive vouchers for various stays at the farm.

Expert Insight: Samantha Carter notes that by offering experiential rewards like farm stays, the couple is leveraging their personal brand and the “Winter Vol Liefde” connection to turn a financial crisis into a community-supported venture. The stakes involve not only the couple’s residence but the continuity of care for their increasing number of animals.

What is the background of the couple?

Judith and Bart met during the “Winter Vol Liefde” adventure. Since then, they have navigated various challenges in the mountains and expanded the number of animals on the property. Judith’s four-year tenure as a farmer has been described by the couple as an adventure involving learning from animals and overcoming both small and large challenges.

What may happen next for the farm?

If the crowdfunding campaign reaches its goals, Judith and Bart could successfully purchase the property and maintain their farming operations. A possible next step may involve the couple hosting the donors who received vouchers for stays.

However, if funding is insufficient, the couple may face the risk of losing the farm, as the current owner is required to sell. This could potentially lead to the relocation of the animals currently residing on the property.
