Region: Languedoc region

We are Sundara and David, a retired but still very active Scottish couple. Our only home is a large mansionhouse ('maison de maître') overlooking the Canal du Midi in the Languedoc region. It is used for various purposes and occasional voice workshops and recitals. We have a large Mediterranean garden and a 12.5 m pool.

Region: Greek Islands

We run a massage centre located on a beautiful island , one of the few places which the Greeks have kept a secret from foreign tourist intervention. It is the second largest of all the Greek islands and has an abundance of mountains, pine forests, beaches and hot springs. We are situated in a small village close to the island’s capital which can be easily reached by bus, train or car as there is a bridge connecting us to the mainland. We have a spacious, old country home with a large shady garden which boasts almond, eucalyptus, fig, lemon and orange trees with plenty of hammocks attached to them. We are also within biking distance from both the sea and the mountains.

Region: NRW

Hi, we are a group of six people living and working on an organic farm. The farm is located in western Germany near the cities Cologne (about 40 km), Düsseldorf (30 km) and Wuppertal (10 km). We are on this farm since February 2010. Quite fresh but very exiting starting this proect together! On our farm there are some chicken, 20 cows, 20 pigs, 3 donkey. From spring on we will plant vegetables, too. We are selling our products by our own delivery service and in a cafe located on the farm.

Region: West Chilcotin, British Columbia

We are Monika and Fred and have recently joined forces in an effort to develop an organic farm/tourist destination in the wilderness of the West Chilcotin. The farm is very isolated in a narrow valley and borders the large Tweedsmuir Provincial Park. Fred and I are non-smokers nearing our 60th birthdays. We are developing 10 acres for organic seed potato and vegetable production and have built a greenhouse into the mountain side for vegetables requiring more heat. The opportunities for work experience and wilderness adventure are endless.
