Thanks for viewing our profile. We are now taking bookings from April until October 2024. We are particularly keen on hosting people that have an interest in Permaculture, or want to learn more about it.
Please note: due to demand in summer you will need to book in advance for a volunteer opportunity.
We moved to France after our world travels in mid 2017 with a vision to create a sustainable, education and demonstration site. Since then we had been renovating the house, redesigning and regenerating the land, and we are now able to follow our dream of leading a more balanced and connected lifestyle in the French countryside.
Glen is originally from the UK and Karen from South Africa. We have made France our home and have been working hard on setting up a Permaculture smallholding.
Karen in a certified Permaculture designer, educator and life coach, and Glen with his background in Engineering is an all round handyman with a keen interest in woodland management, forest gardens (perennial food forests), finding creative solutions to all farm requirements, biochar and charcoal making as well as aquaponics (which he plans to set up here in the future).
We have dogs, chickens, ducks, pigs, sheep and goats. We grow our own veggies in annual raised beds, and plan to move towards a more low energy input perennial food forest which we are setting up.
We raise our pigs for meat and have a Community Pig club. Our sheep's wool is used for crafting projects, and we have meat from our pasture raised sheep. We believe passionately in good animal husbandry and in treating all our animals with respect.
We also practice rotational grazing thereby improving ours and others pasture land (we offer an eco-mowing services to the local community)
We are co-founders of a Community Association where we help and support one another living in France. So there may be community related work projects to get involved in.
We have a few key projects that we are focusing on this year:
- Fencing
- Building a wooden shower and compost loo
- Replacing wood borders in Herb garden
- Redesigning and reshaping sheep field area
- clearing one sheep field of broom
IMPORTANT: we have 4 dogs so only dog friendly people should apply.
We ask for a minimum commitment of 1 week.
