  Beschreibung

  We are Edward and Lydia, a retired English couple living in a remote hamlet in Northern France, with a developing food-forest permaculture garden, a comfortable but rickety farmhouse and various outbuildings in assorted states of decay and renovation. We eat well, cooking food fresh from our garden and from the local markets, and we enjoy music and dance.

  There's always stuff to do: pruning, digging, harvesting, building renovation and maintenance, housework, weeding. Practical skills are helpful, but we like to share what we have learned and to learn new skills together.

  Unterkunft

  Accommodation is usually in basic but comfortable bedrooms in the main house. In summer, possibly camping in a dedicated camping field. Bath and shower provided. Meals are taken together round the kitchen or dining-room table; everyone helps - if not with the cooking, then with the clearing up. Lunch is the main meal of the day, breakfast and supper are smaller meals. Diet is omnivorous, leaning heavily towards the plant-based and minimising ultra-processed food - we are happy to welcome and cater for vegetarians.

  Was noch ...

  We're a few km from local towns etc, and there's no public transport, so mostly we rely on the fibre internet connection for our entertainment. Bicycles available to explore the local countryside and to go into town. We would collect travellers from the mainline railway station, about 35km away.

  Kann Digital Nomads unterbringen

  We have a 1Gb/s fibre internet connection, and quiet desk space. However, it would be the volunteer's responsibility to comply with French social security and workplace law.

  Platz zum Abstellen von Camper Vans

  Smaller vans only. Larger vans will find it difficult to negotiate the track to the camping field.

• 

  Hier sind Haustiere in der Regel willkommen

  Well-behaved dogs are acceptable; however, we are surrounded by farms with livestock often including suckler cows (suckler cows get very aggressive towards dogs and their owners, instinctively protecting their young), and the dog will need to come to an accommodation with the Tom, the resident cat.
