  Description

  We run a small farm with a lot of biodiversity.
  Flower meadows, hedges, cereals, fruit trees, berries, and a garden surround our farm.
  We are a family of five (40, 33, 14, 12, 7).
  Our farm is located at the foot of the Jura mountains, very close to the forest.
  The village is about a 10-minute walk away, and Basel is about an hour away by public transport.
  
  NOW Nature is awakening.
  Weeding needs to be done.
  Mowing needs to be done.
  A hedge needs to be trimmed.
  A hot tub needs to be repaired.
  Various maintenance tasks need to be completed.
  And much more =)
