    Most time of the year we have a very chill and easy life .. teaching yoga, taking care of our animals, working in the garden, building new cozy furniture or artwork.. growing veggies in our greenhouse and on the land..

    We love our space and mostly can handle the works with just the 2 of us.


    There will be no labour in our business or contact with any guests because we are closed till summer.
