Description
Lost in the middle of 14 000 ha of forest, we live and run a non profit association who promote autonomy and also a small campsite.
Being volunteers ourselves for a few years around the world, we're also happy to host.
Christophe is chef cuisine by profession and he also got experience in eco construction (working in this field for a few years). He has two boys (9 and 11 years old) who live part time with us.
Liz joined Christophe in 2021. She is a social worker, Chinese energetic therapist and artist.
Stunning scenery, friendly and relaxing atmosphere, originality, home-made, permaculture, conviviality are just a few key-words...
PARTICULARITY for helpers who want to learn by doing :
If you stay minimum one month and have few basic using tools : development of low tech technology project
(We choose together a low technology project depending on the need and your abilities, the length of your stay, time I have to share my knowledge and we design and create your own project which makes sense for you, volunteers, customers, kids, ...)
Helpers are invited to join the family life
The type of jobs changes during the season, ranging from gardening, wood stacking, maintaining the garden run in permaculture way, help in the kitchen, taking care of animals, construction or little low tech project developpment. We ask for a minimum stay of two weeks.
We look forward to hear from you.
Liz & Christophe

Nous sommes restés chez Christophe 1 mois et demi, et c'est comme si il ne s'était passé qu'une semaine. Christophe nous a appris énormément de choses sur de multiples sujets. Je reviendrai dans ce magnifique cadre qu'est la carrière du verbamont !
