    Descripción

    My name is Edith and I'm living on a 3,5 acre (1,5 ha) property in a rural area, with a mountain surrounding, about 150 km south-east from Montréal, Québec. Our view on the Appalachian mountains is just fabulous.

    I 'm an organic gardener (today they call that permaculture!) for over 40 years and I'm teaching it as well as flowering lawns and meadows. But my husband (Christian) and I are now around the 80ies and many tasks seem more and more exhausting!

    Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

    The social life in our small village (2000 inhabitants) is very dynamic : we have a well-stocked library at the town-hall, yoga classes, pickleball, etc. depending on the season and movie screenings every 2 weeks .

    The population here is originally from all over Europe, especially from Germany, France, Poland, Ukraine and of course from the US since we are at the border. We have a little polish store, a nice French bakery and the village grocery store is now owned by a family from Afghanistan.

    We have done house-exchanges for over 40 years and we are interested to meet other people and cultures.

    I will need help essentially in the garden in the fall and the spring. I can teach all about it such as planning, composting, mulching, etc. We can do it together but we both are quickly tired. We planted a windbreak about twenty years ago and it requires maintenance. There's also some small culverts to repair over the ditches, posts to replace in the garden fence, etc.

  • Alojamiento

    Alojamiento

    We have a complete finished basement with guest rooms and a full bathroom and living-room. This will allow some privacy for workawayers when needed. We'll provide bedsheets and towels of course and access to our laundry room.

    I can provide meals and show about cooking, especially gluten-free/dairy-free diets. But Christian has a regular diet, so there is no problem for that too.

    We can host a couple or a single person.

  • Algo más...

    Algo más...

    Our area is just beautiful and ideal for hiking or visit villages around . We have a huge lake (42 km long) with a little beach 5 minutes from our house. Also a ski hill open in winter only of course. The closest town (Magog) is about 35 min away and a major town (Sherbrooke) is about one hour.
    If transportation is a problem to come to our house, we can pick you up at a bus stop and drive you back again on w.e. for visiting Montréal or Québec.
    We are 20 min away from the US border (Vermont).
