  • Description

    Description

    We are 3 adults living in 2 houses on this farm. We are growing vegetables and taking care of 6 cows, some hens and ducks, 2 cats and a little dog.
    All producing is for own consumption.

    In April the garden season begins.
    In the middle of May the cows begin to pasture the fields. The fences have to be checked and repaired if necessary.
    The many houses on the farm require minor and major renovation work of all kinds. The main tasks at the moment are: care of the animals and preparation of the pasture and garden area.
    Currently we are still in the process of making the firewood for the next winter.
