Hi everone, since a big storm things have changed here.

Mobile home or Camping at the farm:
At the moment we have installed four mobile homes. One is my space, another my sisters and there are two for visitors.
We have plenty of space for tentes.
We provide full meals (mostly vegetarian) and ask each person to do there share of cooking and cleaning (as they go), if you do have special dietery needs please let us know in advance.
We have no shower at the moment and we are putting watering cans in the greenhouse to warm up in the daytime until the new solar shower can be built..! We also use a compost toilet.
So if you have any knowledge about making an "efficient" shower , please come and share..!
