Description
We live on an organic farm with beef cattle, sheep and horses, right next to the stunning chateau de Biron and beautiful bastide towns of Villereal and Monpazier. We have a traditional stone house to renovate and three small children that need a lot of attention. We would welcome help with any of the above, depending on your interests and skills.

Help
If you are friendly, keen and hardworking then we are keen to have you come stay with us! Tasks really will depend upon your interests and skills and will be likely to change throughout the seasons. Helping me with the children, the housework and cooking are always an option as is house renovation if that's what you enjoy. Chores on the farm depend on the time of year, at the moment we are building a handling facility for the sheep, in spring we will be lambing, hay making, moving stock, fencing.... Please get in touch and we'll let you know what's happening at the time you intend to come stay.
