I have 12 chickens, a goat and large areas of vegetables, fruit trees and fruit bushes that I have planted over the years,” he says about his piece of paradise. Because the whole place is organic, there is a lot of wildlife, hedgehogs, etc. Some of the vegetables and eggs Peter sells in the village.
