Description
Hi everyone !
We are a french couple in our early sixties, living in eastern Corbières (south west of Narbonne) in a wild, dry and beautiful place in an isolated place, 3 kms away from the village.
We are interested in natural living, permaculture etc...
We are living in a small, self repaired stone barn, and we grow some organic fruit trees and vegetables on a small scale.
Our diet is mainly raw vegetarian.

Help
We would be grateful for some help : One or two weeks in the beginning of april making a small garden according to permaculture principles in order to grow vegetables, and a few other tasks in the orchard.
It is rather physical, working with shovel and wheel-barrel.
