Description
We are a friendly couple living on a 12-hectar farm, situated in a small village in the picturesque nature reserve spot in the West Pomerian Voideship. The closest large city is Koszalin about 50-min drive from our place. Our village is also located over an hour drive from the seaside.
After 18 years of leading busy lives and managing demanding careers in the heart of The UK, we moved back home and settled down in the countyside. Our aim is to build self-sufficient lifestyle on the farm. We grow our own food in a vegetable garden and greenhouse to cater for our needs. We are in the middle of farm renovation and some projects to help us live off grid such us own electricity, hot water heating and water well.The farm needs a lot of tender loving care, hence, we are looking for some enthusiastic friendly people who are willing to support us with some DIY projects and general maintainince of our place. We live with three lovely animal friends- two dogs and a cat. We also have frequent visits from nearby friendly widelife animals.
Apart from being farmers we are interested in mindfulness, meditation and energy therapies.
