Description
We would love some help with chopping and moving wood around in a wheelbarrow , trimming trees and creatiing an irrigation system
Our house is 500 years old and the outdoor spaces are absolutely huge and beautiful with very old trees. We want to grow a food forest someday. We have horses, sheep, and 2 very friendly and well educated shepard dogs... Appart from the occasional camp fire, we go to bed early and wake up early too. The sunrise cup of coffee is my favorite🥰.
Our workawayers are part of the family, we obviously provide and share all meals, we also provide snacks and we expect volunteers take part in our daily rythm and routine.
The cultural exchange we offer is a full immersion in the life of a french family, expect to be treated like a relative. You will hear french all day long as Fabien and I work from home so we will be here all the time. But we also speak english, german and spanish if your french isn't fluent enough yet.
We can also give you riding lessons if it's something you are interested in.
We need help with painting and what we call " garden workout " which is gardening with muscle 😂. Moving fire wood around and building a gate. Also some diy skills would be great to build shelves, benches etc... -
