    Description

    We live in a little village with about 80 inhabitants in the south of Germany close to the Swiss-border.
    We are:
    A german-swiss couple (Christine and Raphael).Our four children are already adult and moved out.Victor(one of our sons) and his family live across the road. Also Michelle, our youngest daughter.
    We have a small farm with: 2 horses, 2 sheperd dogs, 6 goats, a cat and about 15 chicken.
    Also there is a wild and lost garden in which we mainly grow herbs and berries which needs help.
    On our fruit meadow we have apple-trees and other fruit-trees like plum trees.
    During the summertime, the goats are mostly outside on a pasture.

    Due to our animals, we have a hard time travelling, so we are happy to welcome people from all over the world at our home and learn about your culture, ideas, food and language.

    Since we both have part-time-jobs outside the house, we could need some help on our small farm. Also in the wilderness of gardenAll animals are well treated and tame.
