Description
Kai (German) is building up an ecological guest house. There are 2 houses - both are almost finished with the renovation (incl. solar panels for warm water and electricity, house insulation), but some parts are still missing. The guest house hosts ecological seminars now and then. We are organising a couple of times per year outdoor events like walks, guided visits through our property and or walks in the surroundings.
We have a big garden of about 2,5 hectar, with a lot of olive trees and a rather steep terrain with terrasses, but also a marvelous view over the country side and the Esterel mountains which are between St. Raphael and Cannes.
In the vegetable garden you can find about 20 different varieties of vegetables including artichokes, in spring and summer time water and honey melons, squashs, tomatoes, beans, peas etc. In autumn and winter we cultivate cauliflower, brokkoli, different salads, red beet, leek etc.
We have 4 sheep and 6 hens which need to be fed regularly and looked after.
The work consists of help in the vegetable garden, caring for the animals and some renovation or outdoor work. In November we harvest olives for making olive oil in a mill. We milk in average two of the sheep and make our own yoghurt with the sheep's milk. We regularly bake cakes with our own eggs and make our own sourdough bread.
We host a nature kindergarden on our property and we do gardening or cooking/baking together with the children now and then. The working time is 5 times 5 hours in the morning, the weekend is free. We finish work by around 12.30 h, depending on the beginning and when the sun rises. So the afternoons are free for walks, visits in Fayence/Tourrettes or a bus trip to the seaside in St. Raphael. Our MINIMUM stay is 2 weeks.

Magdalena is a very communicative person, interested in lots of topics. She likes laughing and integrates well in an existing group of people. We had very interesting talks and nice evenings in a round of Workawayers. She is helpfull and knows how to get organised. An inspiring person with a big horizon.

Kai is inspiring in his true passion for ecological lifestyle. I was impressed when he had more knowledge about the ecological marked in Oslo than what I had. He is a helpful host who cares about you having a great stay. He took us for a beautiful hike, proposed trips and afternoon activities. I had some great food experiences at the dinner table… read more

Each day was interesting and I feel like I learned a lot about sustainable growing, sustainable energy and organic farming. It is exciting to work on this project because each day you can see a different aspect of your work coming… read more

Was great to come work with Kai, I learnt a lot about organic farming and suitable building/living. Gorgeous view with lots to explore, with brilliant food from the garden.
Was a shame I had to leave early.
