    Description

    Since deciding to leave the city life, me and my son,are aiming to turn this 3-acre land, that was once a farm long ago - now reclaimed by the jungle, back into a suitable environment that we can call home along with our farm animals. With only 2 volunteers maximum to help out around the grounds or do projects it can be quite the task. We welcome all the help we can get from, tending the grounds (weed clearing, cutting grass), doing DIY projects, harvesting fruit (when in season), cooking, looking after the house or just even giving ideas for us that we can incorporate into our place.
