  Description

  Be welcome in our family with 2 teenagers of 24 and 17 years old.
  We try to have a healthy, autonomous and green life in the countryside wit sheeps, chikens and ducks.
  We have an ecological building materials shop at home. We know a lot about this stuff and we are always at home.
  We try to be self sufficient in sheep, duck and chicken meat as well as vegetables. We make our own bread in a wood oven. We love to bake, make pastsry and cook.
  Last year we also started a new activity with an Astrié mill. We produce flour for ourselves and for some stores of the area. The cereals come from organic farms in the region.
  We like to work but we have a real true sens of humour !
  The workcamps we are proposing this spring: painting the frames with ecological paints, do small repairs around the house and a lot of storage for our move.
  You 'll be working most of the time with me, Sophie and Danao, 17.
  You can realy improve your french here, as I have been the teacher of my 4 children.
  storage, helping in the garden, feed the animals.
  Wa are next to Gent and Brussels by train. They are a lot of walk to do.
  The house is pleasant, the landscape beautiful ... !
