Farm

The sheep are of the Skudden brand, a breed that originates from the Baltic States. They are a friendly and small breed and resemble goats when shaved. Every spring we welcome a lot of lambs. The wool is used by Susan for felting and we sell part of it to a local fabric factory where they process the wool into scarves. The sheep have a wonderful life with us and roam freely around the campsite as much as possible and help us keep track of the grass on the steep slopes.

The four Arabian horses are a beautiful appearance. Known for their grace, spirit and endurance, Arabian Thoroughbreds are native to the desert. So they don't mind the hot temperatures in the summer at all. Before moving to Italy I rode my former horse at international endurance level. The sport is currently on the back burner, but for experienced riders it is possible to join a trail ride through the mountains. With the kids on the back of these friendly horses, we regularly take a dip in the river.

Then we have our nice chickens. You can recognize these little cochin chickens by their chubby bodies and cute slippers. It is a breed that is very funny to see and easy to tame. They also lay delicious little eggs!
