Description
French family living in the US for 20 years.
We have a little hobby farm and would welcome some help for projects and enjoy cultural exchanges.
We live in beautiful Bend, OR - just go to visitbend.com for more info - Bend is one of the best place to live ever if you like the outdoors (hike, mountain bike, ski, kayak, paddleboard , etc..). There is more than just Hawaii in Summer in the US!
Our hobby farm is not a business. We only sell a few eggs to our neighbors. All our products are for our personal consumption.
Projects are various and will be adapted to your skill sets and the season, go from taking care of the animals. to wood projects, to irrigation, to fencing , to harvesting veggies, to painting, tractor etc.. . We were rental super host before so really accustomed to welcome people at our place, and we love it
We cook French dinner almost every day and eat our local harvest/products for dinner.
Note: we are located just outside of the city limit - Need a car to go to town.
