    WELCOME


    .
    ++note: as we are having several requests, it will be good if after our answer you can confirm your arrival as soon as possible so we can organise and confirm to others to come or not. Thank you!!++

    !Please read the "Help" category, we are currently looking for a HOUSEKEEPER and a CARPENTER to join us on the farm!

    Our community farm is situated in the countryside (Plateau des Mille Etangs), nearby Faucogney-et-la-Mer.

    The 400 years old farm house is inhabited permanently by Mathias, Judith and her 4 children, but also often by other family members and friends. We want to explore life as community of different generations, in close contact with nature and animals.
    We are running our little farm all together.
    We live with a donkey, 10 goats, 5 sheep, 3 cats, 3 dogs, chickens and ducks. We pass our year here with the animals, milking goats to make cheese, baking bread, gardening, doing construction projects inside and outside the house.
    This happens mostly in the mornings and then in the afternoon everyone usually has some free time, that we like to spend exploring the region, getting creative or simply have siesta. We always cook and eat together and community life will be a big part of your experience here.
    It will also include other good things like making music, jumping on the trampoline, taking a bath in the lake nearby, have sauna, play babyfoot, sing together at the chapel, make camp fire...

    Children and families are welcome, vegetarian food is possible (we cook and share all meals together).
    We prefer long-term stays and a minimum stay of two weeks to make it possible to get into it.

    Lodging: circus wagon, room, tent, tree house, yourte
    Closest train stations: Luxeuil-les-Bains, Lure or Remiremont (we can pick you up there)
    Languages: German, English, french and spanish. But we prefer you to talk at least English

    CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR:

    GENERAL MAINTENANCE; HOUSEKEEPER
    - We are currently looking for an experienced housekeeping-helper to join us at the farm. Your day-to-day tasks will primarily be centered around taking care of and enjoying the kids, general housekeeping, community-style cooking, etc..

    CARPENTER
    - We are searching for an experienced and autonome carpenter to put their touch on some of the many beautiful projects here at the farm - rebuilding a treehouse, creating our wonderful artroom and more.
