Testimonials
“Our time with Lucia's family felt like stepping back to simpler times. Wool spun by hand, dyed with natural dyes and woven on simple looms. Food harvested by hand. Hot tea with mint and camomile picked from the garden.”
Kaj
“With no street lighting, the night sky was amazing, so many stars, the southern cross and the milky way glittering above us.”
Rachel
“With so many varieties, shapes, flavors and colors I will never think about potatoes in the same way again! It was fascinating to be able to help harvest and sort the potatoes, see them drying on the ground and baking and eating them right there in the field.”
Jim
“Lucia and Walter made us feel part of their family during our stay.”
