Description
I am living on my family farm with my grand daughter. We have a native tree nursery 3 dogs and 2 calves. We would like help in our Nursery and also renovating our old farmhouse.
We live on the beautiful Karikari Peninsula surrounded by sea. We also do landscaping periodically so are very busy. But we make sure to take timeout for ourselves, diving for seafood, collecting tuatua and walking the dogs.
