Description
Hello! My name is Jai. I live with my son Aaron in the Sierras De Rocha, in Uruguay. Our goal is to be as self-sufficient as possible. We produce the electricity offgrid and we have water from a source. We have a big garden to take care, and we also have a lot of animals ( 8 Pigs, 20 Chickens, 2 cats and a dog). We are producing smoked sausages and dry meat. And yes we eat meat. But just from the farm. We are looking for people who love animals in general.

Tuvimos una excelente estadía con Jay!
El lugar y la vista son increíbles, tuvimos la oportunidad de alimentar a los animales, ayudar un poco con la casa que está en construcción y el jardín. Jay es re tranquilo, siempre atento con nosotros; Aarón da una vida especial al lugar jugando y descubriendo.
