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.

Help
As we are growing tomatoes and cucumbers in a greenhouse there will be help needed watering them. Picking weeds from potatoes, garlic and others will be needed from time to time. Helping around in garden and mowing lawn would be appreciated. We are also building a barbecue chilling area so if anyone knows how to build or wants to learn they are very welcome. There is help needed to clean out the forest from small trees and making firewood.
