    🏕The farm background
    I’m Gali. I bought this land just four days before the devastating 2017 wildfire.
    Since then, through love and resilience, the farm has come back to life – thriving with wildlife, fruit trees, forest, and meaningful human connections.
    The land remains partially wild, to give space and freedom to nature do what wildlife do.

    When people ask me, “What do you grow on your farm?” I always say:
    “People.”
    Because sometimes, the ones who come here find just the space they need to grow.

    *who will be on the farm- me an my partner coming once a week.

    Does this speak to you?
    Send me a few words about yourself – and maybe this will be the beginning of something beautiful.
