    Description

    From June : I'm looking for someone focus on goats caring + gardening

    Only for people experienced with animals (cow/sheep/goats..) !

    Hi everybody!

    I'm Florence and I live in Broissia, a small village in Jura Region with about 50 inhabitants. I live with my son and my housemate, friend and previous workawayer Lorette, + 15 chickens, 8 goats, 1 dog, and a donkey.
    Emile, the co-owner of the house is currently living abroad so wont't be there all year.

    After 4 years work to renovate the house, the project for 2025 is to increase our self sufficiency with a vegetable garden and goat cheese making. Meanwhile i'm studying law this year + work as school assistant that's why i'm looking for someone who already work with goats and likes to work on it's own.

    I was travelling around Europe and volunteering in many projects, eco-farms, wwoofing, collective projects, education, etc. I also led youth exchanges, training, framed in erasmus +, so im quite used and passioned by intercultural exchange, human relations.

    I choose this lifestyle to live in the nature, eat my own cheese, build my home and host people from the world. I'm someone really active and quite extraverted.

    WHO AM I LOOKING FOR
    I need support with the goats + gardening : I look for trustful, autonomous, efficient and experienced workawayers

    I look for people eager to learn and discover from my lifestyle, that is based on environmental awareness and degrowth. I enjoy people that has initiatives, that agree to work by its own as well than in a group. I greatly enjoy people with sense of humor.

    I wish to share my home with people who agree to contribute as well and besides working hours by cooking, cleanup, getting the dry toilet bucket out, ... It's very important to us to feel that the everyday life missions are taken in charge by everybody.

    I had many wonderful experiences with workawayers but also few negative ones due to lack of maturity and idealistic image of the rural life, so please detailed your application and we ll have phone calls to discuss further.

    A typical day :
    8 am goats's breakfast
    10 am lead goats to the field
    10 to 12 am, gardening or other
    6 to 7 pm : goats care

    Ill will ask you to help 20 hours over a week + shared daily tasks (cooking/cleanup).

    We work everyday of the week (animals are not going on weekend vacations) but we organise so everybody can have days off.
