The experience

Join me, Tim, on my small farm in the French Alps! 🐐 I raise goats, sheep, a cow for cheese, and grow veggies. Help with animals, gardening, or some house renovation. No experience needed—just motivation and hands-on spirit! In exchange: cozy studio stay, shared meals with homemade cheese 🧀, bike rides 🚲, hikes ⛰️, skiing 🎿 in winter and lakes 🌊 in summer. Live authentic farm life!
