Descripción
I live in Nieu Bethesda with my 3 boys. We live in a remote village in the Karoo region in South Africa. Farm small scale with cows which we milk for making cheese. Also many other animals and vegetable production for home use. Also farm with bees along natural beekeeping principles. Have a small microbrewery and restaurant where we serve our cheeses and beers. Also small coffee roastery. Beautiful part of the country with hot summers and cold winters.
