It is located in a beautiful landscape surrounded and isolated by forests. We have 4 dedicated staff members in our resource center. Our staff members will be there to help volunteers. We have more than 800 grown fruit trees to care for and 1000s of plants of various species growing in the field. We are also rearing about 80 goats and 30 turkeys and some poultry in the farm.
