    Description

    We are a very busy family of six. My husband, myself and four wild and wonderful kids all live and work together on our farm. Our kids are adventerous in spirit and always upto something. We are currently expanding and have so many projects on the go. We raise beef cattle and goats and make hay as our main farm income but we have lots of hobby farm projects too. We spend most of our time outside working and playing in the amazing area that we call home. If you love hiking, biking, camping, star watching, peace and quiet, bird watching or animal watching this is heaven to you.
    We would love to share our life with travellers wanting to see and share in farm life and what it has to offer.

It has a double bed and kitchen table but no running water; however there is an outhouse and you are very close to our home that has full facilities and it can be used at any time.
