Description
Hello, we are a couple that cultivate a family farm in Dar Bouazza and we created the project that is from one side organic vegetables market, yoga activities, children camps during school holidays, camping caravaning area, and on the other side a surf camp (project that we are just starting) where we have clients coming from all places in the world who want to learn or practice surf and yoga.
Brahim is the hands on person in charge of all the heavy work, cultivating, construction, harvesting...
Loubaba is in charge of all the marketing, organisation, processes as well as yoga teachings
We love to meet new people, help in the community, offer a welcoming place for travelers from all around the country and the world.
After travelling around Europe, Americas, Asia, we met and decided to put a bit of the world in our project.
We have 2 children each of us (4 total :)) a couple of dogs, a dozen chicken and ducks as well :)
Join us for the time you want ( a minimum of 2 weeks) to discover a new way of living and working close to nature, to the sea and to people's hearts.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Morocco is a beautiful land, our project is in Dar Bouazza in the middle of the city and is one of the last cultivated lands in the middle of houses and buildings. Travellers will be able to discover the Moroccan culture at its roots.
From learning new languages, meeting new people, tasting new meals, it will definitely be a very interesting experience; especially given the fact that living with a family in the farm is the best way to learn a lot about a new culture.
They are also free to attend yoga classes that take place in the shala.
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
