  • Description

    We are recently retired farmers/ business owners from Canada. We have many years experience of organic farming practices and grew and preserved our own food for family of 4 children for many years. Now that our family is grown we like to travel and explore new countries. Tony is also a master builder and enjoys building everything from homes to barns and renovations. Both of us love outdoors and being in farming communities and helping plant grow and harvest. I have a background in culinary arts and have spent many years in professional kitchens
