The Experience

A nice family-friendly atmosphere, with 3 pets, many fruits, crops, fish, and chickens... Some of the daily tasks we do on the farm include maintaining and improving the trails for safe walking to the river and to the planting and harvesting areas; repairing, painting, and decorating the spaces for the family and volunteers; fertilizing, pruning, and propagating the fruit and medicinal plants. Lots of camaraderie, togetherness, walks, and meals.

Mi experiencia en la granja fue muy positiva. Desde el primer día Mary junto con su esposo y su familia me hicieron sentir muy bienvenida, creamos una conexión genuina, todos ayudamos y nos apoyamos en las labores. Disfrute de ayudar en la siembra y cosecha de alimentos rodeada de un ambiente natural, el río está a unos pasos de la casa, 3 hermosos san bernardo y una gatita te reciben también con cariño. Estoy emocionada por ver cómo todas las ideas de Mary para la finca se van desarrollando y haciendo realidad. Recomiendo esta experiencia!

Thank you very much, my Lauri. I'll take that into account—it's good to know.
I thought I was doing well by including you so you wouldn't be on your own, and given the transportation difficulties, it's a good point to take into account.
Thank you so much for everything.
Hugs and best wishes to you.
