We are renovating an old farm house in Beaufortain in the French Alps. The farm house is in a rural situation, but there are local shops, cafes, bakerys , banks etc nearby. We have renovated the ground floor, where we now live. It’s comfortable, very clean and homely. Our only heating is a log burning stove, burning wood from our own forest. There is a comfortable double room and a single room for helpers. We are now renovating the top two levels of the chalet. The walls are of timber construction and the roof is tin. We have completed all the internal insulation and are now building the internal walls, bathrooms, kitchen, plumbing and electrics. We aim to complete the renovation by the beginning of 2027. We will then move into the top floors of the chalet. After that we will be creating the exterior hard landscaping and developing our 1700m2 forest. We are in a ski area during the winter season, whilst in the summer there is rock climbing, mountaineering, (we can see Mont Blanc from ...

Our family runs a western riding facility with 30 stalls, where we provide horse boarding and training, including reining and cow work. We also have a western saloon, where we host weddings, special events, and are open for our club members on weekends. In return for cleaning out stalls and feeding horses (and the odd other job), we offer room and board, sorry we cannot host vegetarians; we include you in family activities and you have the possibility to improve your riding skills in western riding (cow work and reining) in our 30 x 60 m arena and - how about -learning some line dancing!! A bicycle is available, if you want to explore the near surroundings. We are located close to Switzerland, it`s about a 15 minutes car ride to Basle, and also only about 20 minutes to Germany. Our area is a great tourist region. If you are mature, fit and self-motivated, willing to stay for a minimum of 2 weeks, experienced with handling horses, we would be happy to hear from you!

We are in the process of renovating an old house in the Pyrenees. There is only decorating to do such as stripping paint of walls and woodwork, and repainting. There might be the occasional carpentry to do also, nothing too complicated. We need help 5 hours per day, five days per week. Weeding, pruning trees, making paths. We are looking for help from two strong and healthy individuals to assist with a house redecorating project and gardening, trimming trees, path making etc. This requires physical strength and stamina. Please note, we cannot host anyone with any pre existing health issues, physical or mental (we are not medically trained to manage such conditions). We live in a small village with some shops and a climbing centre and a river just opposite the house. We have a quite a size garden where we grow vegetables, fruit bushes and trees. Here, we have spectacular mountain views on our doorstep, hiking trails through the mountains and forests, cycling paths, and skiing in the...

Nous sommes Pierre-yves et Paul, deux hommes gay. Nous habitons dans le sud ouest de la France, dans le très joli département de la Dordogne. Nous sommes horticulteurs. Nous vivons avec nos deux chats dans notre vieille ferme construite il y a plus de 200 ans. C'est un endroit paisible de la campagne française, à proximité d'un tout petit village. Les commerces et les villes ne sont pas très loin. Notre village s'appel Verteillac, il est situé à proximité de Ribérac. Notre vie tourne principalement autour des travaux en extérieur et par tous les temps. Nous exploitons une pépinière à domicile, ce qui nous laisse peu de temps libre pour entretenir la maison et le jardin. Nos projets incluent donc le jardinage, le désherbage, le défrichage autour de la maison et parfois la maintenance des bâtiments. Les travaux peuvent varier selon la saison. C'est un réel plaisir pour nous de partager toutes ces taches avec des personnes motivées, énergiques et qui apprécies la sérénité de notre styl...

Hello, we are Cat and Silvan, who is 6 years old. We live on an organic permaculture farm in the Pyrenees in the south of France. The property is situated in a small hamlet of 8 houses bordering a wild forest including chestnut, ash, oak, acacia and cherry. We grow much of our own fruit and vegetables and collect hazelnuts, walnuts, mushrooms and wild herbs from the forest. I cut my own wood and much of the wood used in the construction has been harvested from the land. We have 5 goats and friends graze their horses during the summer months. I enjoy eating fresh food from the garden and like to be creative with dishes with what can be sourced locally rather than necessarily going to a big supermarket. We buy locally and organic where possible to supplement what we have in the garden. When there are more of us here we often do a rotation of cooking, which is great as we get to taste each others variations and be inspired. If you are not confident in cooking don't worry, it is a gre...

MAIN ACTIVITIES AT THE CAVIAR FARM: *An old farmhouse being rehabilitated*. I have been living since summer 2018 in an old stone house located in a hamlet. It is located 3km from the nearest village and 30 minutes from Mont Saint Michel. I started with 4 walls and a bad roof and renovated with patience and solidarity since then. This year we'll be having a participative workshop every month, mainly working with clay for plaster. *Farming Activities for autonomy and sharing*: Since settling in, I've cultivated a bountiful vegetable garden, welcomed poultry and goats, learned to make my own cheese, tested preservation methods and transformations for my small-scale produce, and tried to build a small-scale farming life: both simple and hectic, punctuated by a variety of seasonal activities. *Hospitality & Education*. My farm is the place where I nest. A nest that I where with a diversity of people: Local or International Helpers, tourists that come to the campsite, and also the ki...

Hello, my name is Florent, I'm 45 years old, I was a chef for about twenty years, and since 2017 I've been a spirulina producer. Spirulina is a microalga that's very rich in nutrients. It's a very environmentally friendly crop, requiring little energy and no pesticides. Spirulina needs sun and warmth to grow. The harvest season in our region runs from April to October, and it's during this period that I'm interested in hosting someone (I don't need two people at the same time, one is enough). Since 2017, I worked with a partner who left for other ventures at the beginning of this year, and I now work alone. We've already had several interns on our farm. I need someone to help me out on the farm with various tasks, as we do everything ourselves: harvesting the spirulina, cleaning, labeling, packaging, general maintenance and odd jobs, communication, deliveries, farm tours, online orders, and also everything else that goes along with the spirulina production: clearing brush, chopping ...

Hello, We are a French couple living in the small village of Loubieng in Béarn. We are Anaïs and Arnaud, 38 years old. Anaïs works in ecopsychology and ecology.

We have a large house with 33,000 sq m of land located in Domancy, Haute Savoie, French Alps, between Chamonix and Megeve. We have spare accomodation in a separate apartment for a person or mature couple who would like to spend a few weeks in this region in return for labour in the garden and forest. This would involve gardening tasks, maintenance, or general assistance. Good opportunity to learn English or French, and spend time in the mountains. It's a family home, not a working farm. Building / maintenance skills would be a plus but strong muscles and a good sense of humour would be even nicer !. Own transport preferred but not essential. There's a lake 2km away for swimming and paddle boarding, and lots to do in your time off. We have two Labrador dogs and two cats, all super friendly. We have a project to build a natural pool in our garden and are looking for helpers who love being outdoors and don't mind hard work ! Looking for help over June to November finishing offf this pr...
