Our farm is facing the Vércors mountain ridge, overlooking a beautiful lake and amazing nature. The big city of Grenoble is less than an hour away, while several villages and farms dot the landscape. Plenty of history around, such as ruins of a medieval chateau just down the path, and many many stars to see in the sky.
You can join us for meals and convivial moments, language & culture exchange, conversations, and, if you are lucky, some purring with the cats. Learn about agro-ecology, care for the soil, seeding, planting, fruit tree care etc. Maybe even assist Helen with her secret jam recipes....
We’d love to share your and our life experiences as well as practice different languages. And if you play a musical instrument, then do bring it along! We have a few of our own and love to have music around. Classical included.
Enjoy your free time by hiking (by foot or by mountain-bike), swimming in the lake, or simply chill and read a book....Or visit the great city of Grenoble if you need to get a bit of urban vibe. During wintertime, many ski stations operate in the area. Each season has its own beauty!
We are a non-smoking farm, drinking in moderation (well... it’s France after all), but no drugs or substance dependency. We all need to treat humans and animals with respect and understand that we depend on each of us to complete tasks and use equipment responsibly.
Our tasks are at times physically demanding, so it suits motivated, positive people who are physically fit. We all love to see what we created at the end of the day!
We offer your own room (which can fit two people if you travel as a couple), and shared bathroom and kitchen. At times we would ask folks
We work five (5) days a week, five (5) hours per day.
Schedule depends on the season and the weather.
We are chill and happy to go with the flow, but the plants are not. We are a certified organic farm so no pesticides, meaning lots of weeding and plant care.
We also have general farm maintenance and repair stuff to do, build and enjoy.
We are a smoke (or vape) free, alcohol free, no drugs and zero tolerance for violence. Everyone respects everyone. The cats are part of the team, although they have their own schedule..... Our goal is to create a community with lasting friendships, so remember we all take care of the houses, clean, cook, respect the resources (water, electricity, wifi etc), and lend a hand without necessarily being asked. This is our home, and you are welcome to share it, so help us make things nice for everyone.
