It has been quiet at De Kandelaar, partly due to the immense loss of Marc. We miss him in everything, as a husband, father, brother-in-law, son-in-law, but above all as a great friend and hard worker. With the help of many around us, we picked up again and continue the work on the farm. Marc’s […]
We have resumed the running of the B&B De Kandelaar following the abrupt closure after the unexpected loss of Marc. Our guests are more than welcome again in the Bed & Breakfast De Kandelaar. Life on the farm continues and keeps us busy with looking after our livestock and land. In collaboration with IVN, there will […]
How great is the loss when someone is no longer here! It is unimaginable how many visits, messages, phone calls, cards, flowers and help we have received following the unexpected loss of Marc. The farewell was moving and poignant and gives us a lot of support and strength. Marc lives on in everyone he knew and […]
Since last Sunday night/Monday morning, there has been a lot of disbelief and sadness at De Kandelaar. During one of his favorite activities, the straw harvest, Marc died in an accident. We are deeply saddened. We will miss him, dear husband and buddy of Mariska, a very proud father of Marlies and uncle to Kaylee, a […]

In particular for children from low-income families and children from primary schools in Dronten. We would like to teach and […]
This year our patience is being tested due to the slow growth of the tulips as it has been very cold. This means the growth of the tulips is almost 2 weeks behind compared to the other years. Tulip Route Flevoland was due to start on 10 April, but will now start on 16 April. […]
What a wonderful week we have had! After the cold and the freezing weather, there was beautiful spring weather with a lovely sun. Immediately that means more work on the farm. Our contractor Frens applied our cow’s manure to the land. Let the grass grow! But there was much more activity at De Kandelaar, because […]
Sometimes small thoughts can suddenly become reality. Joris and Marc would like to get more value for their products, Lisette enjoys cheese making and Mariska likes to serve her guests products from their own company during breakfast or lunch. What could be better than cheese made from the cows’ milk of De Kandelaar. And so […]
De Kandelaar’s residents wish everyone a happy and healthy New Year with hopefully lots of fun and activities. In November, the last sugar beets were cleared and the land was plowed. The beets are waiting in the yard to go to the Cosun factory next week. Despite the fact that it is not that busy […]
