Description
We are a couple with 2 daughters. Our move to the country side serves the purpose of having a new experience. Although we continue to work remotely, we are developing our knowledge about gardening, farming and land care. In a near future we also want to have more animals around. For now we have 2 dogs, 2 cat, 3 sheep's and we plan to have chickens.
Our goal is to develop a family agriculture that serves our needs and gives us pleasure taking care of.
Joining us you will be part of this adventure.
