Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Morocco is a very culturally rich country, and us, as natives, can provide insights and ways to discover our cultur. As said earlier, visitors might learn how to prepare traditionnal Moroccan Food or learn to live the moroccan way. We provide a more traditionnal approach to farming and visitors might reconnect with their ow nature through spending a fex days or weeeks with us.

This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
In our Farm, Workawayers might be expected to help with our animals (Ostriches, Cows, Camels, Sheep, Birds, Horsesetc...) help us with our visitors and in the same time, learn how to make delicious Moroccan Food.. Overall, we just wish to share our passion and experience with whomever is interested in sharing theirs.
Update: since we receive a lot of requests and don't have the time to process them all, we are forced to filter a bit! So please contact us only if you plan on staying with us for at least three weeks, thank you!!

We can't recommend the farm enough. Oussama, Samira, the entire family and staff are all incredibly kind and open-hearted. You work five hours a day, and never more. You can work in the garden, with the animals, in the kitchen, or work on your own project (I made a video of the farm). The food is AMAZING, the best food we had in Morocco.
