Description
THIS IS A CARBON NEUTRAL FARM WITH MUD AND ANIMALS, WHERE THE WORK IS PHYSICAL.
My name is Sammie and I live with my mom in a real rural area, we have plenty of physical tasks to be done including a large garden that need to get into shape and order with some raised beds, this will provide food for ourselves and volunteers that comes in the next season. Need help for building stone walls and occasionally a bit of fencing too, but the garden is the most important.
We've got 6 or more cats that stay outside and a some goats that we keep for breeding and for meat, but most of the tasks with the animals is my responsibility.
Please, we ask your patience, maturity and understanding because me and my mother are very busy and need to work a lot, so sometimes it may seems lonely there are a lot of peace and quiet with the views around. We will take you, when it is possible, to the town or another places.
We can't accommodate couples.
