    Description

    We have been farming on Aline’s family farm for 15 years.

    Aline grows green asparagus in organic farming and takes care of a small herd of horses and cows with her father.
    Philippe has planted vines and made his own natural wine in AOC Marcillac.

    Aline grew up in this traditional farm of the Aveyron, lived in several big cities and especially two years in Naples.
    Philippe has an atypical career, after a professional conversion he becomes a winemaker.
    We have voluntarily chosen human-sized agriculture to maintain artisanal, qualitative and organic practices.
    We made a choice of life that enchants us but does not allow us to travel as much as before. So having volunteers is another way for us to travel...

    We like to share our knowledge. We are very careful that volunteers spend time with us.
    The farm takes us a lot of time so we expect organized and autonomous people who take initiatives in domestic chores such as vegetable garden, take care of the chickens, cook and clean in the house...
