Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You'll spend a lot of time experiencing organic and permaculture farming techniques, and you'll experience living off-grid.
We're part of a national movement of 'One Planet Developments' where the Welsh government encourages us to live on and make a living from the land, providing we make it productive, zero carbon and increase biodiversity. We and the other folk on site have a lot to say about ecology, building, green living and permaculture.
We also play a lot of traditional folk music (for instance Breton) and frequently play at various gigs and dances which you might be able to attend, or they might even be on site. You may also be able to help Stef and learn a bit of traditional green woodworking, or learn the fundamentals of sound as he fashions music instruments from the wood he takes from our forest.
Help
We would welcome help developing the site to be a productive smallholding. That means some building and also helping to landscape, grow veg, plant trees and bushes according to permaculture principals.
We could also use a little help with IT.

We will feed you on helping days, but ask you to be self sufficient on your days off. Peni is wheat and dairy free , and occasional meat eaters.
What else ...
We're about 3 miles from the nearest town with train station and main roads that go to all the tourist destinations. . 7m north is Lammas, the well known eco-village that started the movement over here. They host tours in summer and numerous social events, courses and workshops.
Our land is around 20 mins drive from several beautiful beaches and the well-known Priselli hills and mountains.
