The experience

My family and I have a small farm between Dundee and St Andrews. I'm attempting to renovate the old farm buildings and to return the farm to traditional methods, it has been farmed industrially for a long time and it'll take a lot of work to get it back to how it should be.

I need help in establishing and maintaining the vegetable garden and with general farm duties maybe some baby care if you wanted it and are capable!
