Description

Hello there!
We are a happy family of 5 and a well-behaved dog :)
We are looking for a place where our family can thrive in a conscious and nourishing environment while/by giving back to the land that is supporting us.
Bonnie and papa have backpacked and participated in different kinds of social projects overseas. Our two toddlers have had experience in bush living and communities in Australia. Our new born is fresh out of the oven :) And our lovely doggy is used to being with other animals.
Definitely we are aware of the restrictions and needs a family like ours has in an environment of work exchange. However, with the right planning and agreements it's possible to achieve symbiosis between us all.
