    Description

    I have worked as volunteer around the world from 2010 to 2014; i helped as farmer, carpenter, in orphanage, in school in Asia, South Amercia, Africa.

    Then from 2015 to 2018, I have co-create an éco-village where I have received about 40 volunteers in 4 years.

    Since march 2020, I have create a non profitable association on a land of 1ha (10 000m²):
    1/market garden, plant fruit tree, have egg..
    The produce sold goes straight back into the 2nd part of the project :
    2/ teach to children and adult how to garden, use wild plant or have an ecological life style with few money.

    Since september 2021, I have a small house at 200m from the garden with 3 bedrooms (mine and 2 for the helper). So it's why I can host for free in exchange to help me and learn how to be marked gardener.
    As it's written in the feedback, the house need renovation, it's isolate since last winter 2023-24

    The meals are with 90% of the garden (vegetable, potatoes, eggs, wild plant), and sometimes with freegan food.
    I buy some french cereals (french rice, black wheat...) and lentils, red beans.
