Description
Hi , we are Tiphaine and Stephanie, a couple of french women in their thirties with a 5 years girl named Lou.
After knowing this place for a long time, we have settled 5 years ago in the beautiful countryside of Castelnau Montratier (Lot) and bought an old farm we have renovated. We love animals and nature : we have a vizsla dog, a horse and a shetland pony.
Stephanie's project is based on saffron culture and permaculture. Tiphaine works from a home-office.
Only Tiphaine speaks English fluently. English courses as conversation would be appreciated for Stephanie.
We are open minded, easy to meet, joyful, interested in culture exchanges and like to learn from each other
We are looking for general help with the animals, the garden, the woods, in and around the house : but it is mostly outdoor works !
Hoping to meet you...Types d'aide et opportunités d'apprendre

It would be nice if you are interested in the French culture, the landscape and the French language as part of the French way of life.

Aide
There is a variety of tasks such as : (it depends on the weather and season)
- help with the horses : feeding, piking up manure, riding (if you like it), cleaning the stable,
- help with the saffron cuture: planting bulbs, weeding, picking flowers
- DIY: painting, sanding, building
- gardening: clearing and cutting the wood, brushcutting, grass cutting, watering, create a permaculture garden
- babysitting :
- language practice : english conversation
we share the house cleaning task (cooking, washing...)
We expect you to work 5 hours a day, 5days a week.
the work might be physical. we are looking for a energetic, self motivated, practical and quickly learning person, who likes to work ! You should easily adapt to new surroundings and love to work outdoors in all weathers (whether rain or hot). Most of the jobs you have to do on your own, some of the volunteer work is done in the team. so it is better to host a couple or two friends.
if you have any abilities or experience in gardening and permaculture it's a good add !Langues parlées
