Description
Hello there : )
My Name is Werner, I'm 55yo and I work as a wood sculptor. I live on a small farm, a typical Swiss farmhouse surrounded by the nature with my intern Simon and, at times, my daughter Jana (30yo).
The farmhouse is immersed in the beautiful, naturalistic region of Emmental.
It's a pretty quiet place, surrounded by hills, forests and a few other farmhouses, not far from the small town of Langnau and only 40 km away from Berne, which is reachable with public transportation.
The farm family is made up of about 50 sheeps, 4 rabbits, a dog, Nina, as well as some cats, therefore a pair of hands in assisting with that would also be greatly useful!
There are two vegetable gardens and a greenhouse, so fresh and bio products are always available.
You would help on the farm, in the gardens and in art projects.
There are also a couple of ateliers which you could use to be creative (painting, carving, wood/ceramic sculpture).
It's s also interesting for a couple because we have a separate studio .
We are looking forward to get to know many interesting people!

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
Food: We offer good and healthy food.
Nature: the farmhouse property includes the surrounding hills and forests: feel free to delve into the nature, relax and connect with the earth and the animals, enjoying suggestive hiking and stunning landscapes from the top of the hills.
Tradition: Here you can discover the lifestyle of a farm inclusive of animals, barns and old typical Swiss houses.
Art and culture: art is everywhere here. The art farm is scattered with open air sculptures and I often go to vernissage, museums and galleries. I'd be glad to bring you with me and introduce you to my artist friends and to the Swiss art world. Feel also welcomed to use the two ateliers of the farm for painting, carving, sculpting with wood and ceramic, and experience the cultural events taking place!

GARDENING
Help in our organic and regenerative gardens is pretty always needed.
FARMING
Very welcome an extra pair of hands in the farm, such as the sheep barn or their pasture (fairly simple activity, they do almost everything themselves!) and similar tasks.
DIY
I would be also happy to receive some assistance with small DIY projects in the house.
ART PROJECTS
If you are interested and passionate abut it, you could provide some assistance in organizing no-profit art and culture events, which promote the encounter with different cultures, such as Latin America and their ceremonies that celebrate Nature, other than festivals, film screenings, readings and courses for plants and gardening.
Our farmhouse, is a cultural farm place of art and intercultural exchange, as well as of regenerative agriculture!
