We are bringing back to life a 1940 stone front cottage which sits on 3 acres. An abundance of fruit trees and wildlife. We have a mix of chickens and and plan to add Rabbits back to our tending. Our 3 young children are enjoying the wonders of living the country life as they grow into Earth Conscious, self sustainable adults. From the gardens to the many projects such as masonry of our cement compost bin. Their exposure to old ways has been an adventure.
