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) maintaining the garden, taking care of our animals and horta while we are exploring things.
The volunteer we seek takes over the small general things like walking the dogs.. feeding our farm animals, cooking, helping with the land, etc. (check list below)
There will be no labour in our business or contact with any guests because we close the B&B after the summer season.
