Description
Amanda (my wife) and I are in our late fifties but are very young at heart. We have a small 35 Hectare farm with a 2 hectare lake in the Vienne France. We have 40 sheep, about 6 pigs, a small herd of alpaca's, a few goats, some dogs and the usual chickens. We have just started hay making, sheering the sheep and alpacas and have to finish some building all work before September. So if you would like to give us a hand drop us a line.
