    Description

    We live on a farm as a small community here with 3 families, 6 kids and during summer a bunch more families with kids that come stay with us. We have a bunch of animals such as goats, chickens, birds, fish and a pony. We are (preparing for) homeschooling, have two vegetable gardens, bake our own bread, are always building or creating something new, and do a bunch of activities on the farm and elsewhere.
    =============
    Nous vivons sur une ferme en tant que petite communauté, avec 3 familles, 6 enfants, et pendant l'été, plein d'autres familles avec des enfants qui viennent séjourner chez nous. Nous avons tout un tas d'animaux comme des chèvres, des poules, des oiseaux, des poissons et un poney. Nous sommes en train de nous préparer pour l'enseignement à domicile, nous avons deux potagers, nous faisons notre propre pain, nous sommes toujours en train de construire ou de créer quelque chose de nouveau, et nous faisons plein d'activités à la ferme et ailleurs. C'est un joyeux chaos par ici, mais on adore ça ! 🌱🍞🏡

    We'd love some help in and around the house, such as with the animals, with the kids, joining and creating activities, cooking and baking and in general join our way of life this summer as the farm is blossoming.

    Nous aimerions beaucoup avoir de l'aide à la maison et dans les environs, que ce soit pour s'occuper des animaux, des enfants, rejoindre et créer des activités, cuisiner et faire de la pâtisserie, et en général participer à notre mode de vie cet été alors que la ferme est en plein essor.

    This host offers a language exchange
    Not all of our kids speak French (yet) and are learning. If you could teach them, that'd be awesome! We have people that could teach you English or Dutch :-). Tous nos enfants ne parlent pas encore français, mais ils apprennent. Si vous pouviez leur enseigner, ce serait génial ! Nous avons des personnes qui pourraient vous enseigner l'anglais ou le néerlandais :-).
