  • Description

    Description

    The farmhouse has a medium size garden with potatoes, garlic and some other things. We have 4 big greenhouses where we grow our own tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers. We also have small plants that we sell to other farmers
    Our home is very close to Saaremaa capital Kuressaare. There is a steady bus line to Kuressaare daily and we can offer bikes to go biking. Kuressaare is only 7 km from our home and the nearest sea is about 7 km as well.
    We live in a nationally protected area where you can find very rare plants, flowers and birds. Our family has 2 pet cats and a super friendly dog.
