Description
We have always welcomed, hosted and helped people in need. Whether it would be for traveling, touring or seeking shelter for homeless people, we try to be there when possible.
This time, we though we might continue and ask for a little help.
After 8 years on the road in our gypsy wagon, pulled by our percheron horses Zorba and Victor, we are settling down in central Brittany.
Our non profit organization is welcoming you on its farm.
All tasks are done with us, you will not be left alone.
We need help setting up the farm.
The Family :
the Animals
Zorba, the great percheron horse is our first family member.
Victor is our second pulling horse.
We have two dogs Nasba ans Oscar and a cat Ray.
the Humans
Florian was a gamebrarian (ludothécaire) and was working on an itinerant (I like wandering ludothèque lol) ludothèque.
I, Mickaël, used to manage the technical services for a small town. I like photography, cooking, gardening.
Hosting
We can host in a tent, caravan or in the communal house. Mattresses and bed sheets are provided. You can also use your own duvet.
Meals and work hours
3 meals a day for a maximum of 25hrs of help a week. Usual day schedule starts at 10am, a lunch break between noon and 2pm. Afternoon tasks from 2pm to 5pm.
2 days off per week.
We have life projects of getting as close as possible to mother nature, on an ecological aspect as well as looking after ourselves and others.
We are children of the earth, we are from the Rainbow family!
We try to only eat organic products (vegetables, dairy) from local producers.
We are vegetarians.
So far, we have been making our own washing products and pretty much cooking everything from scratch.

I loved our evening talks and our daily wood cutting sessions. We had a short (a few days) but very interesting and joyful hosting experience with Tom.
Tom is very (too?! he is English lol) respectful and well mannered. Well traveled and adventurer, this cyclo-bouddist is fun to be around.
we hope you found your way back safely ;-)
I feel very lucky to meet you and witness the charms you create around you.
When I revisit those moments of joy and laughter, I can see clearly that you have the ability to turn the simplest moments into a magical fairy tale.
