Description
We are a little community of 4 persons living in a house that used to be a small farm in the country side 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 red and we produced our own energy with solar panels and heat with our own wood.
We regularly have people around and our small community is very dynamic and lively, centered around gardening, small animals, ecology and taking care of the house. We need help especially outside, in the garden, but also sometime cooking, cleaning the house or repairing some things in the house.
