    Description

    This is a small 55 acre farm located in Hopeland, WA. We are a small family of 4, with a large fur family of 2 dogs, 1 cat, 4 horses, a few cows, sheep and goats! We have bought this property just over 2 years ago which was once a running free range/barn laid egg farm. It had been untouched for a few years prior to our purchase, and we are setting the property up for horses/livestock and growing hay for ourselves.
    Due to being abandoned, there lots to do. Currently, our focus is house renovations, mowing, helping create our new garden area, and cutting and splitting firewood.
    Their is also an option for some help with caring for our young children for those that have child care experience.

    Our plans for the farm are now personal only, and we are wanting help with all the parts of running and renovating a run down property, such as house cleaning, cutting wood for our fireplace, house renovations, tidying under trees, gardening, opportunities to feed our menagerie of animals for those interested and caring for our beautiful busy children!
    We hope you might consider us 😊
