  Description

  Hello, my name is Wendula and I live in a house on a plot of 7000m2, on the island of Amorgos in the Cyclades, Greece. My agricultural activities involve a unique experience linked to nature. The property is located 700 meters from a small, friendly village and 8 minutes by car from the port and beaches. I strive to grow organic vegetables and maintain an ecosystem despite the drought. Goats surround us as well as cats, a dog and a charming hen who lays one egg per day. The help consists of maintaining this little corner of paradise, helping me in the garden and painting work for the doors and windows of the house.
  
  Bonjour, je m'appelle Wendula et j'habite dans une maison lotie sur un terrain de 7000m2, sur l'île d'Amorgos dans les Cyclades, Grèce. Mes activités agricoles engagent une expérience unique liée à la nature. La propriété est située à 700 mètres d'un petit village sympathique et à 8 minutes en voiture du port et des plages. Je m'efforce de cultiver des légumes bios et d'entretenir un écosystème malgré la sécheresse. Les chèvres nous entourent ainsi que les chats, un chien et une poule charmante qui pond un œuf par jour. Le travaille consiste à entretenir ce petit coin de paradis, à m'aider au jardin et des travaux de peinture pour les portes et fenêtres de la maison.
