Program Details

We have veggies, farmland with cereal, beans, sunflowers, soya, and grassland for making hay and grass for our cows. We need help with many daily tasks but they depend on the season.

- Spring: In spring there is a lot to do with preparing the fields, seeding field crops, seeding and planting vegetables.

- Summer: In summer we need help with planting veggies still, harvesting them, weeding the veggies, cleaning bushes and grassland, making hay (by tractor), picking wild fruits and figs to make jam and dried fruits out of it. We could also need help with fencing our 12 cows, cuddling them, and processing the milk.

In fall and winter we still harvest veggies and sell them on the market, prepare fields for the winter, make firewood and feed the cows in the barn. By making professional photos or videos to support our web presentation, or also teaching us french, you could really help us.
