Gold Country & High Sierra - Amador

 Erica

Hi!
We have a home in the Sierra Mountains at about 3000 feet elevation. We are on 12 acres (almost all of this is fenced with some cross fencing). We have been in the process of building our homestead (Homestead Love) for a little over 4 years now. In this time, our family has grown to include several fur and feather members. We love all the beings who reside on this property and we really enjoy taking care of the land and everyone here - it brings us great joy. Our daily tasks include feeling all our animals at least one time per day (the dogs get fed 2x per day) as well as closing in the chickens and taking our dogs on a perimeter walk around the property 2x per day (or at least 1x per day if busy/not so nice weather). Our garden should not need much if any work at this time due to the season. We do have many houseplants that may need some love. We look forward to meeting the perfect match for us. This is a beautiful area however it does get cold in the winter. We do not typically get much snow, however, we did have 1 winter that was very different which provided over 3 feet of snow. So, snow can happen. I hope this info is helpful. Thank you!
