    Description

    I live in a nice red stone farm in the Southwest of France with my 4-year old daughter. I got family, friends and wwofeurs passing by regularly but I took a break during the winter.
    We have two big permaculture veggie gardens, a huge orchade, and some animals (chickens, goats, cats and dog). We want to develop a permaculture and educational farm to have a more sustainable life and produce as less waste as possible. Our way of life is very simple, cooking and having hot water with the fire or the sun, using compost toilets and eating lots of wild plants !
    I can teach you how to garden following the permaculture principles, how to harvest and cook wild plants, and many other things about nature...

    The project is also to welcome more permanent resident on the farm, so you are wlecome for some weeks, but we can also discuss about a longer stay afterwards.
