We are an English family of 3 living in France, new to free range pig farming and selling our pork direct at our local market. We have a small farm and our dream is to be self sufficient , farm respectfully with animal welfare and environmental land usage at the heart. The farm is progressing well, but we are looking for help to manage our normal small holding tasks, vegatables and building project's.

We live in a very unique area in France with a new emerging community of young like minded people, who are passionate about the environment and local community. We want to grow, learn and pass on to others, ideas and experiences to create an animal/crop rotation system that has minimal impact on the land and animals.
The help required will range from, feeding chickens, goats,ponies and piglets, fencing, helping with wood, creating a vegetable garden, polytunnel system, organising the old buildings and land management, or some help in the house and cooking meals. This year we have put up our yurt and want to create an outdoor living/ kitchen area which could fun.

The kitchen will be open for you to help your self, we will always have a good healthy dinner, we eat a lot of pork and locally sourced veg.
We live within the Millevaches national park, and close to 2 lakes, lac de Vassiviere and Viam with many swimming beaches, which is the perfect way to cool off in the summer months. We are quite high, 700m above sea level, lots of places to walk, hike and and explore. Plus in Spring and autumn the forest is fantastic for looking for mushrooms and foraging.
