Description
We are a group of 10 people : Thomas, Lisa, Jérôme, Maëlle, Bastien, Ulrich, Elsa, Chris, Audrey and Lyâme. We live on a ground with an old farm. Our project is to build a self-sufficient place, and to host elderly people who need assistance. Jérôme and Bastien also started a vegetable business. We are restoring the farm with ecological methods and materials. When we bought the farm in 2014, it was uninhabitable. Until today, we have had mainly friends helping, which learned us a lot on how to work and live in group. We now want to share this adventure with as many people as possible !!
We have 3 dogs and lots of chickens.
Nous sommes un collectif de 10 personnes : Thomas, Lisa, Jérôme, Maëlle, Bastien, Chris, Audrey et Ly-âme. Nous vivons sur un grand terrain avec un corps de ferme. Le projet en bref : cultiver des légumes et des fruits, accueillir des woofers pour transmettre des techniques d'éco-construction et de maraîchage (agroforesterie, permaculture, maraîchage sur sol vivant...), accueillir des personnes âgées qui ont besoin d'assistance et de compagnie.
Petit à petit, on restaure le corps de ferme avec des techniques et des matériaux écologiques. On a acheté le terrain en 2014, on y habite depuis 2018. On fait régulièrement des chantiers participatifs, majoritairement avec des copains mais on aime aussi beaucoup accueillir de nouvelles personnes !
Depuis 2019, on cultive un potager qui ne cesse de s'agrandir. Jérôme et Bastien ont aussi lancé une entreprise de maraîchage. Côté faune, on vit avec 3 chiens, plein de poules... et des abeilles !Types of help and learning opportunities
