  • Description

    Description

    We are a fun and artistic family, half French and half New Zealander, living in a historic town in the pretty Loire valley. We love sport, art, food, music and adventure. We have recently purchased a farm in the countryside nearby and are looking for volunteers to come and stay for a few weeks, even months if it works out, to help tidy up and restore the farm.

    This is a place for those who love to dig in and help us out with the redesign and renovation of a small farm, and replanting a garden. Those with experience in diy would be a huge asset- especially carpentry and basic masonry.

    We will be going from the townhouse where we live to the farm almost every day. At the bottom of the valley is a river for swimming in, and lovely countryside to explore- in this very pretty part of the Loire valley and the nearby towns have festivals and markets all year.
