  • Description

    Description

    I grow green asparagus in organic farming and take care of a small herd of horses and cows with my father. My son Andiol, who is 11 years old, loves the farm a lot and making himself useful.

    I grew up in this traditional farm of Aveyron. In the past, I lived in several large cities of the South of France and two years in Naples.

    I voluntarily chose agriculture on a human scale to maintain artisanal, qualitative and organic practices.
    With my son, we like to meet new people and exchange. I love speaking Italian. My level in Spanish and English is less good but I am doing my best!

    Sharing, meeting, these are the main reasons why I like hosting volunteers.

  • Help

    Help

    I like to share my knowledge and I ensure that volunteers spend time with me.
    I mainly need help with small DIY jobs, to harvest fruits or vegetables and for the daily monitoring of animals. We have cows, horses and hens. Of course, I will explain everything to you! The farm takes a lot of my time, so we expect organized and autonomous people who take initiatives in domestic tasks.

    I live at the farm, a very quiet place 1 km from the village with all amenities. The volunteers sleep in the living room on a comfortable sofa bed and/or another mattress. They can use the bathroom, washing machine, internet connection, television.
