Descripción
We are producing most of our own consumption of vegetable, cheese and meat (10 sheep, 1 goat, hens, rabbits, turkeys) in a small farm in a nice countryside of Brittany, between Rennes and Nantes, 1 hour drive to sea. We can provide advice and formation in organic gardening and livestock breeding, bread and cheese making, language teaching etc. We try to enjoy life without taking us too seriously! I am an environmental scientist and my wife is a painter, we are interested in exchanging views and stories on many subjects. We also have a piano in want of players. We have a long experience of hosting all kind of people : students, helpers, friends...This is, most of the time, delightful, and when it's not, it teaches you something and makes good stories to tell!

¿Que es esto?
Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
Anna has an experience in teaching French, German and English as foreign languages.
We can teach the basics (may be a little more...) of organic gardening, bread and cheese making, livestock breeding, self construction...
Ayuda
Help in gardening (weeding, pruning, trimming, soil preparation...) , animal care, small constructions, general maintenance of the house and tools; help in household...we are very flexible with the time and organisation of the work, but we need persons who do really work. We sometimes also take helpers to take care of the house and animals when we are away.
Idiomas hablados
French: Fluido
German: Intermedio
English: Intermedio
Spanish: Intermedio
Alojamiento
Different possibilities of accomodation, depending on the season (one bedroom with private bathroom, some other beds here and there, many nice places to put a tent, and always good food!)
Algo más...
We prefer not to host people with very strict dietary requirements. Vegetarians are very welcome (actually we often cook without meat) but hosting vegans and people with multiple food allergies or intolerance is just too complicated in terms of day to day organization. Sorry about that.

What can I say!
I spent 3 weeks with Anna and Patrick in July and really felt like a family member. They realized a little paradise in Brittany. There is a big garden, which is very nice with a lot of flowers. Perfect to relax or read a book. And then, there is a very big vegetable garden. Anna has a lot of experience with permacultur and is… read more

This place is a beautiful quiet paradise.

Unfortunaly, I spent only 2 weeks there. Anna, Patrick and their family are really nice people and accept the other as they are. I'm not a expert but I've seen some technics how to make breed and goat cheese. The dog is lovely and a bit crazy. For sure, it was my best workaway and I'll be back.

J'ai passé trois semaines géniaux dans la maison de Anna et Patrick; c'était une grande expérience de vie. J'ai appris beaucoup de beaucoup de choses, mais apprendre à traire une belle chèvre pour faire du fromage, c'était le meilleur. Aussi, garder le jardin et ramasser une variété des légumes et des fruits. J’espère retourner bientôt. ;-)
