Description
Hi! We are a small family working hard on a resilient and autonomous house project. We bought a house four year ago and we are renovating the major part of it. We are 100% water autonomous (rain water system). We are using permacultural principals and we are interested to share the vision and knowledge with others. Our dream is to become antonom, to cultivate our own organic vegetables and to share this abundance with others. We are looking for help to make this project real!
We are a fun family who decided to leave the big town to live a life according to our values. Renaud, 39 y, o, is mainly working on the house project and also working part time for a formation Institut in ecological construction. Karine, 37 y.o. is mostly a full time mother and also working part time as a therapist!!! Collin, 8 y.o. and Anaëlle, 4 y.o, are amazing children who love to discover and play. We are usually french speaker, but we can also speak English and Spanish.
