Company info

We purchased this property in August 2018 and started renovations on the outbuildings. We opened for business in August 2019. We got our rescue donkeys in November 2018 and then came our chickens and finally our goats. Our units are almost 100% up-cycled and we have a full Eco Solar Power system with gas geysers. We try to live off grid as much as possible. We live on the property and have 5 rescue dogs. We so look forward to welcoming you to our unique lofts
