This is how they farm hre in the Swiss Alps . In May or June when the snow is gone they head up the Alps for the summer . +or 2 family members , or hired help stays in the Alps with them until they come home in September . The farmers stay in small log cabinsthe size of your tool shed , no running water or electricity sometimes. But a water troff just outside of the purest mountain water you will ever drink. In my generation ( 42) farmers children could go to school in the Alps to learn how to farm , and live in the Alps in these little cabins. They learned about all the madicinal flowers , and how to use them as medicine . Today the equine and livestock vets still use herbal remedies . I just treated Lice with Lavender , worked like a charm. We go to the Alps and collect Arnika flowers and make a salve for skin problems .We use camomile , neddles, and various synergies . hope i can post these pohotos enjoy , this is my backyard , literally
