Details
Description
We are a family of 4 living within an eco community on 6.3 hectares of land. We have our own private land and animals, as well as having responsibilities on the shared community land. We have 16 hens, 2 puppies, and 2 sheep. In August we often adopt some orphan lambs to bottle feed.
We are an eco community. With a septic field, firewood forest, olive grove, orchards, pond eco system and more. We have community based projects for workdays. Plus other work within our personal land and home.
There is nature all around. There is always something to do in the home or on the land.
We have 2 school aged children who love to play in their outdoor huts.
Prefer independent adults, as we enjoy a bit of down time/privacy.
