  Description

  I am Sophia, half Dutch and half Moroccan and looking to make something out of this beautiful farm land in Bouznika! In between Casablanca and the modern capital Rabat, we are situated 7km from the beach, right next to the forest and town. This sweet plot of land is ready for a makeover and many funky projects. It's a super peaceful place with stunning sunset views from our roof terrace. I live here with my father and grandmother and we do different chores every day to make the place run smoothly.
  
  We currently have around 20 free roaming rabbits and chickens, 2 peafowl, 3 dogs (Otto, Luke and Lady), turtles, and tropical bird aviary. We have a mini banana plantation, olive trees, and fruit trees. The projects we have include building a lake fit for swimming, raising goats for milk, and a big vegetable garden. We will need help with all of these projects and more!
  People who enjoy working outside with their hands, gardening, building, taking care of animals and bringing new ideas are all welcome!
  
  We have many ideas and will need lots of help to make (y)our dreams a reality.
