Hello friends!
We are a small family in south-east Finland looking for good company and little help. Luumäki is a pretty small village and the nearest cities are Lappeenranta and Kouvola.
There are four members in our family: me (Inkeri), my husband Jussi and our children Väinö and Sylvi, aged 4 and 1. We are running a farm with highland cattle and our current project is to renovate an old house. There are two cats in the farm.
Values we prefer:
* love and connection to nature
* love and connection with people and animals
* sustainable values
* helping each others
We would love your company and little help especially with:

* chopping wood
We can offer you:
* loving and caring small community
* connection to nature

We would love a family/families to join our family, but also singles and couples are more than welcome.
I (Inkeri) like to do yoga, go in the forest, SAUNA, good food, gardening, have fun with family and friends.
