  Description

  Hello Workawayers, we are my husband Lionel and I (Sara), we have a calm environment and we are passionate about the field, and our animals (cows, sheep, dogs, cats and of course our horses), hence the dream of having our own mini equestrian farm was born.
  These are different times and for the same reason your help is more necessary, we look for people who know about carpentry and roof repair, as well as work in greenhouse and avocados or other trees and plants, prepare land for planting, in addition to caring for our little friends from 4 legs.
