    Description

    We’re a mature couple who work in the city and live on a small farm - a peaceful retreat from the urban rush. Our companions are a few horses and dogs. Most of them came to us from the rescued shelter and in poor condition. With time, care, and patience, we’ve helped them heal.

    Our farm isn’t a commercial venture; it’s simply a quiet, cozy place to live close to nature. We’re looking for a reliable helper - someone who’s interested in staying with us long-term.

    What we offer:
    - Private accommodation in a converted sea container, fully equipped with a gas stove, shower, refrigerator, and other essentials.
    - Groceries provided - you prepare your own meals.
    - Free internet access (limited).
    We can also offer guidance and support with the residency application process for those who wish to stay long-term.

    If you’re over 25, love animals, enjoy farm life, and consider yourself hardworking, responsible, and adaptable - we’d be happy to welcome you.
