Our farm was burn (in July 2022) in a big Wildfire. Now we need help with restoring the land.
We will really appreciate your help.

We invite you to join us for a while and enjoy the beautiful and peaceful farm life.
We have here spring water, a big solar system and a veggie garden. These allow us to live a lifestyle outside the grid.
