We are a couple who live amid nature and are open-minded. Our life project is to achieve self-sufficiency, and we manage a large garden to that end. We are looking for someone who can help us for 5 hours a day, 5 days a week. The tasks will include preparing to plant, building a way by hand and tractor, renovating the house (painting, rebuilding, construction), cooking meals for us, and cleaning in general.

My experience with the project and the project was very good and I felt like family and I think of them as part of my family. They explained the tasks well and yes sometimes the work is a little difficult but it's nothing that can't be done in the stipulated time, you just have to have the will to do it and do it well.They also helped me a lot with things I needed to learn in Swiss German and English. They always care about how you feel both physically and emotionally. They always make sure you eat well and rest well, has been an unforgettable experience I will never forget them and I miss them already 💜

First experience with a permaculture project and had the best time! the project and the project were so nice and welcoming; they did their best to make me feel at home. They have a lovely house in a rural area, perfect for someone looking for a quiet and beautiful nature. Working hours were respected, and we picked the tasks that suited us and helped them at the time the most. The project was so informative, and I learned a lot from their experience. Thank you again for the opportunity, miss you already:))
