Description
Come live with us on our small organic/biodynamic farm!
Our estate is located in the countryside on a dead end road by the side of a river. We produce cheese with the milk of our goats. We also have chickens, pigs, bees and horses, large vegetable gardens for our consumption and we will install a large orchard in the spring of 2023.
We are a dynamic group of eight people who like to welcome friends and volunteers. We live in a communal way and share our meals together. We like to make music, board games and organize various cultural events on the farm.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
With us you can learn a lot if you want to: taking care of animals the "organic" way, milking goats by hand and milking machine, making sourdough bread, making co-fermentations, installing and maintaining a garden of self-sufficiency... You will also have the opportunity to experience an atmosphere of community life in a happy, friendly French-speaking family and to taste organic and local cuisine.
Chez-nous vous pourrez apprendre beaucoup si vous le voulez: prendre soin des animaux de la façon "Bio", traite des chèvres à la main et à la trayeuse, fabrication du pain au levain, fabrication de laco-fermentations et entretenir un jardin d'auto-suffisance. Vous aurez aussi l'occasion d'expérimenter une vie communautaire dans une joyeuse famille francophone.
