As the title says we are looking for a place to work and learn over the summer for a few weeks.
We're a family of four (44, 37, 7 and 5), I'm English my wife is Dutch and one of the kids was born in NZ where we lived for 6 years.
I'm a time-served carpenter, now doing other things and my wife is a psychologist/trainer/coach in winter and spends as much time as possible in the garden in summer. The kids love animals, climbing
trees, and trampolines.
We have a 400m2 garden which is in it's third year and starting to look like a food forest, (rather than a bunch of sticks in the ground!)
We offer
Professional building skills
Gardening skills
Problem solving and solution focused planning skills
Fun and laughter
At least 6 hours work a day (between us), more if possible
We will
Supply our own food
Bring some tools if needed
Have one adult responsible for our kids at all times
Work hard and treat your farm/ garden with respect
We want
To learn everything you know about what it’s like to work/ run a farm
To get more of a sense of living and working in France
A place to sleep (we can bring a tent if necessary)
A place to
shower
A place to cook (if it rains)
Our wish would be for a farm around Angouleme/ South-West France, but we care more about what we can learn rather than where you are. If you have an opportunity, or know someone who might, then please get in touch.
We are planning on moving to France as soon as we can, and we need to pack in as much
experience as possible, (also we need a cheap holiday because all the money is going into the farm fund!)
Thanks for your time
Rus
