Description
I'm a woman farmer with 3 kids, the youngest in her teens. I have cattle and love to work with them. We have 5 small dogs and sometimes puppies. We also have chickens and cats. There are also many horses here at the farm and someone familiar with horses, care, and riding is very welcome to apply for a stay with us!
Besides the farm, I'm also a nurse and I work shifts at ER. I need help with daily animal care and someone to be there with my youngest and dogs when I'm at work. Springtime I also need help with fencing and other farm-related doings.
We're also expecting some calves from Feb-summer. Usually, we also have foals born in the spring.
If you're into horses, this will be a good place for you!
You must love animals to come here and stay with us <3
The kids like to be with the horses and also help on the farm. We've had guests from around the world many times before and think it's exciting to learn about culture, food, and language. We offer to guests our hospitality and friendship :-)
