Description
We are a family of 4 with small farm animals and gardens in the beautiful Texas hill country, just 20 min from Austin central. (Animals: 2 dogs, 2 cats, variety of ducks, geese, chickens, quail and rabbits)
Types of help and learning opportunities
Farmstay help
House sitting
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
This is a great way to learn about off-grid living (solar, well, septic) in a fully modern and functioning home and also learn the practices of a (nearly) self-sustainable family that harvest and process their own food. The property sits on the cove of a lake and when the water is high, you can kayak/paddle board from the dock. Otherwise, the cove is low and makes for a good walk.
Help
No current farmstay needs but happy to hear about you for future needs.
We prefer nature-loving individuals who enjoy animals and will prioritize their daily needs. The dogs need exercise and ideally should not be left for more than 6 hours. The cats, birds and rabbits will need food and water daily which takes about 30 min in the morning and 15 min in the evening. Travellers must have a car/motorbike because although we are not far from stores, etc... there is no public transport or walkable paths.
