  • Description

    Description

    We are a small family from Centre-du-Québec living in self-sufficiency and as much as possible in permaculture. Our goal is to reduce our dependence on the consumer society, share our experience and inspire people to seek a simple way of life in harmony with nature. We produce for ourselves and we want to share our surpluses when possible. One of our main goals is to produce abundance to be able to share in the community. We are not profiting from our farm.

    Nous sommes une petite famille du Centre-du-Québec vivant en autosuffisance et autant que possible en permaculture. Notre objectif est de réduire notre dépendance envers le société de consommation, partager notre expérience et inspirer les gens à rechercher un mode de vie simple et en harmonie avec la nature. Nous produisons pour nous-même et nous désirons partager nos surplus lorsque c'est possible. Un de nos objectifs principaux est de produire de l'abondance pour être en mesure de partager dans la communauté.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Travelers will be able to learn how to take care of goats, chickens and ducks, building bases, taking care of a vegetable garden and many wonderful little things that a simple but rich life allows! It's a great internship for someone who wants to have an experience on a farm before having one! An apprenticeship will also be to be able to properly prioritize, plan and execute self-sufficiency projects.

    Les voyageurs pourront apprendre comment prendre soin des chèvres, poules et canards, les bases en construction, prendre soin d'un potager et de plein de petites choses merveilleuses que permet une vie simple mais riche! C'est un excellent stage pour quelqu'un qui veut vivre une expérience sur une ferme avant d'en avoir une!
    Un apprentissage sera aussi d'être en mesure de bien prioriser, planifier et exécuter les projets d'autosuffisance.

    We have construction projects for the year 2023, including an outdoor kitchen including a bread oven and 2 cooking areas on a wood fire, 2 shelters for firewood and chicken slaughter. Among other things, there are 3 wooden shelters and sheet metal roofing to be built. We also want to increase the cultivation areas to produce more, in addition to our current vegetable garden of 9000 sf. The work is therefore quite physically demanding.

    Nous avons des projets de construction pour l'année 2023, dont une cuisine extérieure incluant un four à pain et 2 zones de cuisson sur feu de bois, 2 abris pour le bois de chauffage et l'abatage de poulet. Il y a entre autre 3 abris en bois et toiture de tôle à construire. Nous voulons aussi augmenter lez zones de cultures pour produire plus, en plus de notre potager actuel de 9000 pc. Les travaux sont donc assez demandant physiquement.
