Description
We are a couple from Switzerland. Since last february, we live in a beautiful place in Valtimo in Finland and have a small farm. In Switzerland I worked as a nurse, and Patrick as an electrician and a farmer. We missed the nature and the quiet. We were unhappy with our jobs and the live we lived. So we decided to change our lives. The permaculture and the sustainability is a passion since a long time. Now we try to live with our passion:) We try to grow our own vegetable and live as sustainable as possible. We would like to create a nice place with a forest garden and some permacultural ideas. On our farm are two small "Mökkis", which we are renovating. It is our dream, to open a small B&B next year. We live on a peninsula and it is surrounded by lots of natural forest. Our family is the two of us, our Dog Najuk, some chickens and some running ducks.
