never give up on your dream :

•              a true family story where my father wanted me to take over the farm over 20 years ago. It is now reality but a big challenge is still waiting for me to rebuild  the farm from Top to the bottom
•            all the years I work hard to rebuild the farm of my ancestor now i have the   license and the property in France it is now time to get in the renovation and  plan the plantation with no more delay
• a few more delays on the renovation because of the situation but never mind it is only for a few more months before i renovate my properties in France
• a 50 acres farms with over 10000square feet building to renovate
• it took me over 7years to plan the renovation and i really  believe this year i will get this renovation and plantation of the garden thanks to y team that are willing to work hard to make it happen
