Description
We are a couple in the 60's that lives in an old house with mainly wood heating.
Our property is 4 acres and contains lawn and some cropeland, fruit trees and berry bushes.
This year we are opening a little shop in our garden selling DIY projects.
We are growing our own vegetables, fruit and berries.
We practice organic cultivation of vegetables and herbs. We make things out of driftwood, sewing, painting and other things that we need. We are creative and we are constantly finding new things to do.
We have chickens and cats.
We have a boat, enjoy outdoor activities like fishing. There are beaches, 1 km from the house. We live in a rural setting, 2 kilometers to the nearest shop.
We also like to go fishing, sunbading, relax, read and watch movies.Types of help and learning opportunities
