    In an old farm solognote that we restore with natural materials and simple processes (hemp, lime, earth, ...) we live close to the nature, open-minded to the world, in a place of experimentation, training, meetings and passing skills.

    After the renovation of some of the buildings in order to accommodate guests, students, land (3h1 / 2) we create 2 large garden (edible forest garden) which complete the organic garden. For this we planted hedges and many fruit trees, mainly species specific (cold adaptation, old fruit or little known).

    We provide courses around permaculture. Daily activities include: gardening (permaculture) Green Renovation (coatings, insulation, paint, etc ...) take care of animals. French, English and Portuguese spoken.

Pour cela nous avons planté des haies et de nombreux arbres fruitiers, principalement des espèces spécifiques (adaptation au froid, fruits anciens ou peu connus).

    Nous accueillons aussi des formations autour de la permaculture. Les activités quotidiennes comprennent : jardinage (permaculture), s’occuper des animaux....
