Our small flock of romeldale(CVM) sheep are the main workforce at this farm! We chose this breed for their amazing, fine wool that comes in a variety of colours but they also raise fantastic meat lambs. The ewes are prolific, nearly always having twins and occasionally triplets, and great moms. T...

This project is a small scale permaculture farm that I have been developing since 2016.

It is completely off grid - no power and no water other than what ...
