    • Dear volunteer,
    We are Ioana and Marc and together with our two boys (12 and 10 years old) we live on an almost fully renovated farm, near the beautiful historical city of Lier (Belgium).

    On our field we grow a great variety of vegetables, fruit and flowers, applying principles of permaculture. Our focus is to produce and sell diversified healthy organic food while maintaining a balance with our environment. We aim at (re) building an agro-ecological ecosystem and next to plants and trees also host honeybees, chicken and sheep.

    We are strongly community oriented and over the years we built a supportive network of volunteers, friends and clients (community supported agriculture) to help with the busy planting and harvesting moments.

    Our non-profit organization is centered on strengthening our relations to Nature and re-establishing a balance between human activities and our habitat. As an NGO we are providing “back to nature” experiences for people in need of re-sourcing.

    The main work as a volunteer will be field tasks such as sowing, weeding, planting or harvesting. If you are enthusiastic to get more experience in organic farming and love spending time in Nature amid the plants, this is for you. We offer you a cosy room (great for a couple or that may be shared with another volunteer) or a caravan. Both have acces to a fully furnished kitchen where you can show your cooking talents with our products.

    What you will enjoy if you come to stay with us:
    - our location in the middle of the fields, tucked away from the “maddening crowd”
    - the wild deer regular visiting the farm
    - bird-sighting on our special bird conservation field
    - sightseeing in the historical city centers of Lier (6km), Mechelen (12 km) or Antwerp (16km)
    - we are 2 km from the train station with good connections to the rest of Belgium and Europe.
    - outdoor activities: horseback riding in the neighbouring club, rowing and kayaking on the river Nete in Lier, long walks and bike rides (special tracks)

    We look forward to welcoming you here!
