    Description

    We are a family of 6 (I have 16 year old twins, a 14 year old daughter and we just had a new baby). We live on a large land with goats, chickens, ducks, quails, a large garden and a greenhouse.
    We live between Montreal and Quebec in a small village called St-Georges-de-Windsor, 35 minutes from Sherbrooke.
    We are always on the go, we are a creative family and we love to socialize and meet new people and learn from them. We have a lifestyle that tends towards self-sufficiency.
    It will be a pleasure to welcome you with us and share beautiful moments!
