Description
We are interested in a cultural exchange with positive and energetic people who share our vision of healthy living in the country.
We have retired from active farming and are keeping our animals now only as a hobby and for fun. We would still like a helper or two to help us with our animals (a few goats and a couple of funny geldings) and around our private property, home and garden. It’s usually light work.
We do not allow illegal drugs and we do not accept smokers.
