  Description

  We are a middle-aged couple living on a small farm with on prox 4,5a of land.
  
  Most time of the year we have a very chill and easy life .. teaching yoga, taking care of our animals, working in the garden, building new cozy furniture or artwork.. growing veggies in our greenhouse and on the land..
  
  We love our space and mostly can handle the works with just the 2 of us.
  
  This year we could use a hand on our land, refurbishment of some houses (painting, flooring) cutting trees, maintaining the garden and horta. Big pressure cleaning of walls and floors. Building/constructing outdoor kitchen, tiling outside walls
  
  There will be no labour in our business or contact with any guests because we close the B&B after the summer season.
  
  Free yoga classes 2x a week
