Description
Hello!
We are a young family who took over our parents' farm less than a year ago. We feel very much at home on this small and versatile organic mountain farmstead in the Swiss mountains at 1100m above sea level.
The farm includes various animals (cats, cows, horses, donkeys, sheep, goats, chickens, rabbits) as well as a variety of meadows and pastures, a large garden and some fruit trees. All this needs careful attention and involves a lot of work.
As we still have rooms available in the 500 year old wooden house, we would like to offer other people the opportunity to live and eat (much of our own products and, if bought, mostly organic and seasonal food) here with us for a while and to help with the work. Our farm is not a business, Workawayers won't help with products that we will sell. We are happy for any support (children and household, animals, garden, handicraft, etc.) and look forward to getting to know you!
We speak Italian and German at home and also speak Spanish, English and French.
Julia with Paolo, Ajuna and Miro

Hallo!
Wir sind eine junge Familie, welche vor einem knappen Jahr den elterlichen Landwirtschaftsbetrieb übernommen haben. Wir fühlen uns in den Bündner Bergen auf 1100müM auf diesem kleinen und vielseitigen biologischen Bergbauernhof sehr wohl.
Zum Betrieb gehören verschiedene Tiere (Katzen, Kühe, Pferde, Esel, Schafe, Ziegen, Hühner, Hasen) sowie vielseitige Wiesen und Weiden, einen grossen Garten und einige Obstbäume. All dies braucht aufmerksame Sorge und beinhaltet viel Arbeit.
Da wir im 500 jährigen alten Holzhaus noch Zimmer frei haben, würden wir gerne anderen Menschen ermöglichen, eine Zeit lang hier bei uns zu leben und zu essen (vieles eigene Produkte und falls zugekauft, allermeistens biologisch und saisonal) und mitzumirken. Wir sind um jegliche Unterstützung (Kinder und Haushalt, Tiere, Garten, handwerklich, etc.) froh und freuen uns, dich/euch kennenzulernen!
Wir sprechen zuhause italienisch, deutsch und ansonsten gut spanisch, englisch und französisch.
Julia mit Paolo, Ajuna und Miro

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We look forward to meeting new people and speaking to them in different languages. We would also like to learn new languages or teach German and Italian.
We offer shared work and social moments, be it haymaking, in the garden, bathing, making music, playing ping pong, with the animals, etc. We are two young parents with two small children. Other family members or friends are often there too. We desire an easy, respectful and thoughtful interaction between people, but also with the animals and the wider environment.
