Descrição
We are a Japanese/French family of 4 with 1 big shepherd dogs, goats, bees, and chickens. We live in a beautiful, secluded little valley where we renovate old Japanese traditional buildings (DIY people most welcomed), do permaculture (swales, various earthworks, fruit forest, mobile chicken farming, etc). At the moment, we are trying to develop food stuff based on eggs, berries, medicinal plants. We love music, high culture, philosophy, real art, cinema, board games, family hikes, archery, fencing, sports.
Notes on availability: we would need someone from mid August. -

Ajuda
We are re-storing traditional Japanese houses (flooring, ceilings, painting, cob, etc) do various landscaping projects (brushcutting, stone retaining walls, pond making, logging, wood splitting, infrastructure building), have a few goats, chickens and dogs that need simple care like dog playing, feeding, egg collecting, coop cleaning. We also have a big garden.
Our two boys are very sociable and love meeting and playing with new people. Spending time with them will be great.
IMPORTANT NOTE: We only want polite/respectful, proactive, hard working, and responsible individuals who are not afraid to get dirty. Work ethic is primordial to us, if you are the rough type who rushes through work, or of you prioritize your phone, please do not apply. You need to be in good physical condition. We also want hygienic people who wash their hands when coming from outside, after toilet, use deodorant, and shower everyday, washing hair every 2 days at the very least. If these basic points are regularly not respected, the arrangement will come to an end. -
