    Description

    March, April help needed. Homemade bread daily : D

    We are a small farm with 1 riding horse, 6 dogs, and 1 lovely cat. We have been welcoming international volunteers for 12 years. Virginia was an English/French as a foreign language professor for 10 years at the local university and loves to help people improve their language skills. Love sharing food, travel stories and a good day's work! If you love nature and spending time working outdoors with lovely animals, this is the place for you.
    Work includes caring for animals, cleaning, firewood and fodder handling, fencing and various maintenence farm activities. Never 2 days alike! We are low tech and try to be as sustainable and productive as we can!
