We grow rice & raise chickens for eggs. We have about 100 hens. We, a couple & 2 sons & 5 daughters have been living here since December, 2020. Organic is the way we chose. We have pets. A dog & 3 cats. Our old house needs quite a bit of repairs. Handyman skill would be nice but not a must.

稲作と卵の養鶏をしています。めんどりを１００羽位飼ってます。夫婦と息子二人と娘五人で移住して来て、オーガニックな栽培をして2年半くらいになります。ワンちゃん1匹、猫ちゃん3匹飼っています。古い家なのであちこち修繕が必要です。大工仕事できる人歓迎ですが、そうでなくても構いません。

Comment (English)

We grow rice & raise chickens for eggs. We have about 100 hens. We, a couple & 2 sons & 5 daughters, moved in to this very old house & started our organic farm about 2 & half years ago. We have a dog & 3 cats. There's quite a bit of repairing to do on our old house. Handyman skill would be nice but not a must.
