Grathem Farms

 Holland grows much more than tulips!  

I think any seed you drop will sprout.

Grathem where Jane and Ruud live is in the province of Limburg, way down in the southernmost part of the country.  Each province has its own local government.  Also the Netherlands is both a monoarchy with a king and also a democracy.  Mostly it's rolling farm land with lots of canals and fields of green growing plants...  It also has a 'cool' climate, almost cold compared to Florida!  It has been a facinating visit with all the differences.
