  • Description

    Description

    My name is Teresa. I am from Germany. I have been living on my farm near Cabo Polonio since 2012. It is a small community of three women, 2 children, both aged 8, 4 horses, 5 cats and 1 dog.
    We have a big vegetable garden and fruit trees and help together to produce healthy, organic food.
    Apart from that we have a big library in a building which was a school in 1900 and now it is a place for cultural activities throughout the year.

    Help

    As there are several buildings there is always some maintenance tasks to be done, such as painting and minor repairs.
    Sometimes we need help fixing the fences that surround the farm. For that we need to cut posts in our forest.
    Apart from that help might be needed in the vegetable garden.

    The farm is located in a small natural paradise, very close to Cabo Polonio, a famous beach with a big sea-lion reserve and a protected natural park. Another virgin beach is 2 km away from the farm. On the other side, there is a massive lake and an Ombu Forest. There is a shop right next to the farm which sells a bit of everything.
