Hi! We are a bunch of people of mixed origins (German and French) living in this beautiful place in the south of France. It is a rather big place, but not a commercial farm. It needs a lot of work for it to stay as beautiful as it is!
There are horses, cats and dogs, even fish in our pond/natural swimming pool and also several vegetable gardens and orchards that need to be taken care of. If like us you are fond of nature, animals and outdoors, get in touch! We'd be happy to host you ;)

We speak German and French (and English) and we would be happy to help you improve those languages.
Besides, you can learn a lot about living on a farm: growing vegetables, gardening, making firewood and fences, cooking, making preserves, making apple juice (August - October)...
We are looking for volunteers who could help us with the maintenance of our vegetable gardens and surroundings and doing some woodwork. Sometimes we also need some help in and around the house. We especially appreciate persons who have already some experience working in- and outside and are good with their hands.
If you have some experience with horses, you could help us training and riding.
Now and then we have building projects and maintenance work on the houses like refreshing window shades and similar work... August through October, we are harvesting fruit and prepearing preserves.

If you are travelling with a tent, there is plenty of space where you could set it up. Otherwise we can lend you one. For bad weather days we have possibilities to keep you cosy (this is subject to evolution in pace with construction works... we'll settle this case-by-case).
We have also a great place for camper vans and can share electricity.
Depending on skills and desire to do so, our workawayers may take part in the cooking. We encourage volunteers to cook once a typical dish of their country.
Our meals come almost exclusively from the garden, orchard and neighbour farms including some milk and meat. We are flexitarians. We can adapt to vegetarians, but vegans would need to take care of their own meals. Sorry for that kind of discrimination, but it is just too complicated. Volunteers have their own fridge.
If you like hiking or other outdoor activities, you can find anything you like at 15 min to 2h ride from our place. We are close to the Pyrenees and they are gorgeous! Please note though that our place is rather remote and public transportation is not coming to us. We have some bikes we can lend and we'd be happy to take you for a hike or a drink/concert!

Also, hitch hiking works very well in Ariège.

In our place several persons are working online. But this is not a high tech environment and although we are glad to share our phone connections you shouldn't expect real high speed communication.

We have horses, dogs and cats and are happy to welcome travellers with animals. You are very welcome to come with your own horse. Dogs are welcome in principle but we need to talk about that before.
