Please note that the Chateau is under restoration and is NOT operating as a business.

We welcome volunteers to the Chateau to help the owners keep on top of the daily requirements that present themselves.

The Chateau is under restoration and one of the owners has become temporarily incapacitated. This has left a great deal of responsibility on the shoulders of the other owner, and he needs help.

Our volunteer position is in charge of the following,

1. Prepare and cook lunch, and dinner for the two gentlemen of the chateau, as well as yourself and the occasional personal guests of the Chateau, five days a week.

2. Visit the local markets, shops, and grocers to purchase all items and supplies needed for the meals, and sundries needed for day to day life in the castle.

3. Keep kitchen space clean before and after every meal.

4. The opportunity to become part of our family and join in on the restoration and revelry.
