Description
Now: a Lot off Garden help has to be done :-)
Also i look for somebody who can help out on demolision work (it s not MY choice) and do some woodwork inside and outside of the house.
I look for people who wants to save a old stone building (capite) and build up dry stone walls.
You could help out in the permaculture garden and take care of the animals.
If you are a good horse rider you can ride on our horses. .
The horse stable needs a repairing hand. The horses need new pastures and fences. The chicken aviaries have holes.
What can I say... I need help. It's not easy on 4 hectares alone
If you want to come for house and animal sitting 12.5.2024 to 30.5.2024 or 1. July to 3. august 2024 I could meet my family, wich is never easy with all these animals.
I startet a new challenge 2017 with my partner. Today I am alone with the project.
I love the nature and I want to build up a little farm in southern france. II bought 4 h land. Old wine terrasses with a lovely view and with a lot of walls "Pierre seche" and "capitelles Pierre seche" and "Mazets" .
I startet to plant trees and changed the soil to plant vegetable in a permaculture way, I want to show how to cultivate on difficult land with less water, how to build walls with stones without anything and keep the terrasses free from erosion.
I like to make marmelades and conserves.
I have a problem with saying no, if animals need to be saved.
In the moment I have 2 goats, at first saved from the butcher, then left alone on my farm by his owner. 4 dogs, two off them where born in my house the 2 other ones I saved from ending on the road. And here are 2 horses, one off them I have from a friend and another one I saved from the butcher. They need loving hands, good fencens, a clean environment and a lot to eat. I really need help with that.
You can sleep in Tents, or your small Vans. One or 2-3 beds available. Everything is really simple In a wonderful landscape with a incredible view. Try toilettes, warm and cold water. A place to charge the telephones.
Minimum stay 1 week! With your own Van or your own tent one week. Minimum stay if you need a bed: 2 weeks. And maximum;-) : much longer if we like each other.
I hope I find some nice people who wants to join my old bones;-) born 1963.
I have a lot off work beside animal care , gardening and farmworking, construction work. Office work, delivering vegetable and market work takes a lot off time in france. So I can not allways join you.
Sometimes you will cook alone, but I allway furnish food. Sometimes I might be tired in the evening and want to stay alone. I hope you understand that. But I also like sitting together and have some nice evenings and daily meats together.
Breakfast,I like to take alone. You wouldnt like my face in the early morning hahahahaha
If you like playing guitare, I have a old one here for you and I would join you to listen ;-) I can not play any instrument ;-)
To visit is the great gorge d heric wich will cool you up in summertime Gorge Colombiere and the lac du salagou. Hiking or horseriding is wonderfull here, climbing and also kajaking. Sometimes you could help me at the beach, wich is 45 minutes away and join the beach afterwords

Help
We will build stone walls, renovate buildings, wood work, planting, gardening in the permaculture garden, animal caring, building fences and stables. All depends what you can do or when you come here.
And we have a verry important stone wall to buid to save a historical building called Capitelle. If this wall will fall in the valley, this building will be broken.
The plan was to renovate it and make a beautiful rare space for hikers (also to sleep there) or visitors with a fire place in the middle. It is a little bit like a yourte out of stones.
For this project we need 5 to 10 people working together.Languages
