Description
Hi there, we are Nigel and Glenda and we live in the cottage which is owned by my (Nigel) father who lives here in the Big House. We have a large vegetable garden which always requires work and various farm chores daily related to deer, cattle and managing the invasive cherry trees in our area...
The farm is a working deer/cattle farm at the base of Mt.Thomas, a great spot for hiking... there's plentiful foraging and hunting too. We have a fun and close knit community of farms who can offer a range of experiences.
We love exchanging ideas and experiences and our love of good food and drink.
We also have a wee house/truck dog called Tui.Types d'aide et opportunités d'apprendre
