Description
We are a little community of 3 families living in a house (house that used to be a small farm) in the countryside of french speaking Switzerland. We have a big garden with fruit trees and vegetables as we try to produce an important part of our food ourselves. Our house is not connected to the electrical grid. We produce our own energy with solar panels and heat the house with our own wood.
We regularly have people around and our small community is very dynamic and lively, centered around gardening, small animals, ecology, alternative education and taking care of the house. We need help especially outside, in the garden, but also sometimes with some cooking, cleaning or repairing small things in the house.
