  This place is magical, with an ancestral energy, full of everything you need to connect with nature, animals, and yourself. We are two holistic veterinarians passionate about animal care, the conservation of native flora and the reforestation of the area, habitat care, and rural life. We want the farm's practices to be self-sustaining.
