Französische Küche, Restaurant in den Pyrenäen

Region: Munster

We are a small family of 3 with one daughter Beatrice (7) and Sal, a Labrador. We are artisan smokers of Irish salmon, mackerel etc and our smoke house is on our door step. We are a typical small business (working a lot) and over the summer we will be opening a new shop in Cork's English Market, so we will be even busier than normal. You are welcome to get involved with the business but mostly we need help with Beatrice who is a bright independent and easy going child but who still needs to be watched and entertained while we work. If you like cooking or gardening you are welcome but as long as Beatrice is kept busy - along with playmates from time to time (much easier!) , for a few hours a day, and the odd night, then we will be happy.

We have a 1.5 acre market garden in Western Scotland supplying organically grown seasonal fruit and veg through a variety of outlets in the local area. The Garden is located in the hills, 4 miles from the nearest village and a couple of miles from beautiful sandy beaches, with fantastic views towards the Outer Hebrides, Small isles and Skye. The Isle of Mull is also accessible by ferry for day trips, and Mainland Britain's most westerly point Ardnamurchan Lighthouse is 3 miles away with a cafe and visitor centre. The area is fairly wild with good opportunities for spotting wildlife, eagles, otters, deer, and if your lucky Dolphins, Basking Shark and Porpoise and a resident population of about 200 people. We are a couple in our early 30's and have been involved with the Garden in various ways since 2011, we live offsite about 2 miles away and work two days a week 9-5 in the Garden, as well as stopping by regularly to harvest, stock the stall and water etc. We have a large poly tunnel growing lots of salad, and a large outdoor cultivated area including soft fruits (lovely strawberries) and a range of beds in rotation in which we grow kale, peas and beans, courgettes, squash, spinach, chard, beetroot, herbs and so on.. We also have a large second field which we hope (maybe with your help) to bring into cultivation this season.

Hi there, We are Pauline, Natalia, Sune and Troels and we are looking forward to meeting you. We are a very mixed bunch. French, Danish and Polish. Fashion model, teacher, techie and photographer. We love traveling, nature, barbecueing, adventures, yoga, ecology and many other things. We are very open minded people and easy going. For the next few years we will be renovating our Paradise in the South of France. It is a beautiful old watermill with a magical wild forested garden. It is situated in the middle of an incredibly pittoresque area (Cirque du bout du Monde, Cirque de Navacelle, Ganges, Lac Salagou and many others). The area is very popular amongst hikers, cyclists, rock climbers and nature lovers in general. There is a river going through the garden. It has natural pool areas which are great for swimming, reflection, yoga and many other things. Not to mention "Blue Lagoon". Here the water is blue. It looks like something from a tropical beach. Almost every day we jump in. It is a refreshing feeling surrounded by trees and big rocks - feels a bit like being in a jungle. There are 4 renovated apartments in the building. The top one is where you will be staying together with the other volunteers. It has a cozy living room with a fire place, bathroom and an amazing view. Besides these apartments there are three levels that we are completely renovating. There is also a small duplex house with a big terrasse where we will have our outdoor common area. A place to barbecue together, enjoy good food and wine and laugh after a good days work. In the end of February we will start building the outdoor kitchen and a wooden terrasse. We`ll be moving materials out of the lower floor and pour a concrete floor in the basement. After this is done there will be plenty of projects to do with making floors, walls, ceilings, gardening, outdoor jacuzzi, watering systems, mass ovens, permaculture-garden, bridges, huts, tree houses, stairs, zip-lines and the list goes on. If you have experience in renovations and building that would be preferred since we will be doing quite a lot of building. If you don`t have any skill but have the will to do your best and work hard with the rest of us then you are also very welcome. We ask of volunteers one trial week to make sure that you fit in here. Every volunteer has so far fitted in. It is preferred you stay for a minimum of 3 weeks so that you can properly become part of the team and create something that is long lasting. We work hard and enjoy life as much a possible. We believe in having fun - lots of it! We make an effort to welcome all volunteers as family. By doing this everyone gets a lot of responsibility and respect. Living at Nibbana is about becoming part of a community. Enjoying life together and helping each other out. The rooms are quite big. You might be sharing a room with one person depending on the amount of volunteers. We are looking forward to meeting you :D

Region: British Columbia,we are located between Barriere and Clearwater in the beautiful North Thompson Valley.Our place is on a high plateau, 23km outside of Barriere on a gravel road.

We Hans, Irene and our son Dominic with his fiance Sam have a semi remote small family-run cattle operation of about 60 cows. We also have horses,a donkey and two dogs. In addition we have a big garden where we raise a lot of our own organic produce. We come from a traditional background with very strong work ethics. We enjoy working hard as well as taking time for recreation and relaxation when time permits. There are many beautiful lakes in our area.Well known Wells gray park is close by (11/2 hours from our place)gorgeous untouched wilderness and a different way of life can be discovered on our meadows. Over the years we have hosted many students from all over the world and enjoy getting to know new interesting people. We welcome all ages and backgrounds but we do require someone who can work independently.Our need for help is constant over the summer month but continuously changing. We have found from experience that the most important asset a Workawayer can bring to our place is an optimistic outlook and a positive attitude. Anyone who comes needs to be willing to work effectively and not be afraid to try new things.

We are a family of five. Myself (Maeve) and boyfriend Dave. We have three children, a 13year old girl, and boys of 8 and 5. We are fairly chilled out and are happy to see new faces around the place. I enjoy cooking when I am in the mood, gardening, home brewing and trying to play my ukulele. Dave enjoys fly fishing, off roading in his old land rover,some surfing and playing vinyl. Our 13 year old is busy doing teenager stuff so we don't see too much of her, our 8 year old likes sport, especially soccer, and the 5 year old loves the x-box and playing with his toys and his brother.
