Description
We are located in an isolated place in the pre-Pyrenees where we are rehabilitating a Buddhist center in a search for energy and food autonomy. We occasionally need help in the vegetable garden: cleaning, preparing plants, sowing, harvesting and conservation. The tasks to be carried out are simple and you will receive guidance and help from us, however your ideas and creativity will be welcome. We offer you healthy, tasty and vegetarian food, but not only that, once a week we cook meat. If we are very isolated, the first small town being 35km away, we are however in a mountain landscape offering beautiful walks and hikes. For this we provide bicycles You will have an internet connection and will be accommodated in single rooms.

Nous sommes situés dans un lieu isolé des pré-pyrénées où nous réhabilitons un centre bouddhiste dans une recherche d'autonomie énergétique et alimentaire.
Nous avons ponctuellement besoin d'aide au jardin potager: nettoyage, préparation des plants, semis, récoltes et conservation.
Les tâches à effectuer sont simples et vous recevrez une guidance et une aide de notre part, cependant vos idées et votre créativité seront bienvenus.
Nous vous proposons une nourriture saine, savoureuse et végétarienne, mais pas uniquement, une fois par semaine nous cuisinons de la viande.
Si nous sommes très isolés, la première petite ville se trouvant à 35km, nous sommes cependant dans un paysage de montagne offrant de belles balades et randonnées. Pour celà nous mettons à disposition des bicyclettes
Vous disposerez d'une connexion internet et serez logés dans des chambres individuelles.
