What kinderboerderij does

Kinderboerderij de Bokkesprong is a Dutch community children's farm and vereniging (association) registered in Nieuw-Beijerland, Netherlands (KvK 40323083), founded on December 15, 1981. The farm houses animals including donkeys, goats, and chickens and is open to the general public at no charge, with organized school and group visits available by advance arrangement. It operates jointly with adjacent Speeltuin Speelland (a children's playground) to form an integrated "kinderparadijs" (children's paradise) destination for families and educational groups in the Hoeksche Waard region. A core technology stack is not applicable — operations are physical — and the entity's website runs on the JouwWeb hosted platform.

The organization's revenue model is a hybrid of recurring annual memberships (€15 per member per year for ~400 members ≈ €6,000), community fundraising (e.g., €566.28 raised via the Rabo Club Actie 2021), and corporate sponsorships from local businesses such as Tankstation Nobel. It holds ANBI (Algemeen Nut Beogende Instelling) status, making memberships and donations tax-deductible for supporters, and it receives no municipal subsidy. All operations are run by volunteers — there are no paid staff — which materially limits scaling but also keeps cost base near zero. The primary customer segments are local families with children, school/educational groups, and ~400 dues-paying community supporters.
