    Description

    Hello everyone, we are a local family living in Silk Grass, Belize. Our dream is to meet travellers from all over the the world and learn from each other. I (Rose) live together with my husband Vincent and our 3 daughters and 1 son. We have many animals such as ducks, chickens, dogs, rabbits, sheep and cats. We would love to welcome you in our family and give you an authentic Belizian experience!

    We have a big plot of land which we would love to turn into a farm and a homestay. That way we could provide for ourselves after working for a boss for so many years. We would love to work together and get to know you! On this land, there are also multiple cabins where our children live, but they are in need of a renovation. We want to build some more cabins as guest houses for tourists to stay in and would love someone handy to give us some help. We would also love to develop a camping site for travelers to relax on their journey. We love to help people and create a place where everyone is welcome.

    If you are interested, write us a message and we can get in contact :)

    Blue

    Blue is our first male sheep. Our eldest daughter Diedra bought him from a Mennonite family. He was about 2 week old when we first received him. Unfortunately his mom did not want anything to do with him so they sold us the Blue and ever since my daughter Rosita took care of him.
