Animals and humans living off grid in harmony

This is a working animal sanctuary with horses, chickens, ducks, dogs, humans. etc. 

Amazing outdoor shower has grapes and herbs growing in it. Laundry facilities and kitchen available in a welcoming community area. 

I love it so much, I am volunteering my time to do permaculture projects to help them grow. And, I will keep coming back as often as I can. 

Beautiful views, beautiful community. Good cell service...  I LOVE IT HERE!
