Description
We live in a village, between Basel and Brugg, with us in the house are 2 cats 🐾🐾 and 4 guniea pigs.
We have a garden for vegetables, 🌿🌿 ( gardening till October/Nov.)
We travel every year for some weeks and some weekends - for this we as well look for you to take care for our animals and the house. We do shorter and longer cycle-tours and go for swimming several times a week.
We like cooking, with fresh vegetables, from the garden, or farms in the region.
you could experiment with our solar cookers. Most of our bread, we do by our own.
We produce own yoghurt, with milk from a nearby farm.
we have breakfast together at about 7:00 or 7:30 am, we do most of the work in the mornings,
in the afternoons, some days we do activities together, like cycling, swimming ...Types of help and learning opportunities

You are welcome to cook a meal, what you like the most, or is important from your origine country.
As well you could care for our pets : 2 cats, 4 guinea pigs, to feed them, to play with them, to look for them, to bring the guinea pigs out to the garden in the morning, to collect them in the evening.
and there are some ponds to check the water flow from the nearby creek.
There would be some chores in the house as well, some cleaning, cooking, .... , in the garden
We as well keep bees, in June / July we harvest some honey
( if we are away in this time period, you would look for the house and animals, and do your own cooking.
and in winter time you need to do the heating with wood, about each 2nd day. )
we do not use palmoil. we do not buy products, containing palm oil. whole Sumatra and Borneo and other rainforests have been destroid and replanted with not climate friendly oil palm plantations.
