The experience

Our small eco farm houses social rescue animals in the way of donkeys, pigs, goats and chickens as well as multiple permaculture gardens for crops. The animal work includes feeding, providing clean water, grooming, mucking stalls and taking them out for some exercise. Plus cuddling! For the gardens, we are amending soil, planting, weeding, maintaining and harvesting vegetables.
