Description
We are a little community in the great landscape of the Jura mountains in the west of Switzerland. We are situated in an old train station surrounded by meadows and forests with free running horses and cows in summertime.
This is a place surrounded by nature, and animals. We have a garden where we apply the permaculture style and implement the permaculture philosophy in our daily lifestyle.
It is a place for volunteers who want to unwind, learn, share, experience and enjoy. We are accompanied by chickens, ducks, cats and four wonderful horses which are our best trainers in personal development.

We are living in the french speaking part of Switzerland. We try to speak french as much as possible - but as we are a multicultural place we speak many different languages. We are happy to introduce you to the Swiss culture. You can learn about permaculture, horses, animals, cooking, house maintenance, herbs, natural products production.

For the autumn and winter time we are still looking for a volunteer who wants to join our little team of 1-3 people. Our place greatly benefits from someone calm who enjoys a small community setting. It is perfect to come back to yourself and unwind.
These are the jobs we need help with:
cutting wood, restocking the wood to make fire, cleaning the stables, caring for the horses, chickens, ducks and cats, preparing the garden beds for the winter, snowshoveling etc. You would also care the household by cooking, cleaning, maintenance etc.
Feel free to ask us any questions you might have.

When I first arrived at the place, I was warmly welcomed by Sybille and the entire community. I must say, this journey is truly worth it for those seeking a quiet life away from the city.

I spent two weeks at the beginning of August at Sibylle's farm in the beautiful Jura mountains. I learned a lot of valuable lessons about permaculture from Sibylle, such as the importance of mulch and more holistic farming. I also had a great time cooking (with many ingredients fresh from the garden) and getting to know the other WorkAwayers. We… read more

Staying at Sibylle's was a refreshing experience. She is a very interesting and kind person to learn about. I loved spending time with the horses, chickens, ducks, and cats. It is strongly self-guided learning/work and more on the independent side. We went on a very nice hike together and had great meals and had some great conversations. I will… read more

We were lucky enough to be welcomed by Sibylle in her old station with other workaways. Sibylle is a very charming woman who loves to share her knowledge (permaculture). The work consists of carrying out small daily tasks in connection with the animals, as well as the rest of the hours spent in the garden. Ideal region for hiking enthusiasts.
