Is anyone familiar with Wwoof?? www.wwoof.net It's an international volunteer program to promote cultural and educational exchange where people interested in learning farming or agricultural or other skills would volunteer to help at your homestead. No money is exchanged between host and volunteer (although there is a small fee to be involved in the program) though often the volunteers get free room or board while they are with a "host" family. You get much needed help. They learn a skill, and meet a family. My son just returned from Germany and was familiar with it.
