A guesthouse, vintage camper, and primitive camping sites are also available which is convenient for farm stays.  You may buy eggs, honey, herbal medicine and salves, and fresh herbs from them for your lovely home! You are sure to buy products grounded with clean, pure, and made with loving care for the land, animals, and most especially for you as a customer. SHAMBA has been featured on TRF's Kim's List.
