Step into a timeless sanctuary where fertile land, flowing water, and cultural heritage meet. Voedpad® (from voed, ”to feed”) is the fulfilment of a long journey: years of agricultural training, a farm-to-fork philosophy, and one woman’s determination to turn her dream into a living, working estate. Our Story
Voedpad® grew from a longing to revive old memories and family recipes, and to share our diverse heritage through a simple approach to business. Here, life stays close to nature. Seasonal produce is grown and processed on the land, and trainees, tourists, and guests find comfort as they walk the Voedpad®. It is also a place of learning. The five-bedroomed guesthouse is medium-sized and cost-effective, and it is run by students who are becoming agri-preneurs, building their own paths in agriculture and hospitality. The well-equipped facilities give trainees real-world exposure to operational kitchens and equipment, and the property works equally well for work-placement learning in your own restaurant. Training facilities include a 20-seater fully equipped training room; fully equipped five-station chef training kitchen; fully equipped bakery; three Offices and one storeroom.
