Description
Free food for all! Learn French and climate-change transition at our eco-collective organic farm in the wild of Saguenay Fjord, a soon-to-be UNESCO World Heritage site.
We are located at the historic and heritage entrance to one of the 10 most beautiful villages in Quebec, Sainte-Rose-du-Nord. Europeans call us the Little Switzerland of Quebec. A busy and touristic througfare surrounded by the Wild, with a breath-taking view of the village's ice-age valley, the fjord's largest.
Perhaps our community and collective project to supply solidarity food banks while educating about food self-sufficiency in a northern context could restore your faith in humanity?
Especially since it's one of many projects of our charity, a give-forward cultural aid organization in Quebec for altruistic volunteers committed to give greater dignity to others through kindness and charity. ❤️
We are a lovely, peaceful stopover on your way to recharge your batteries in the wild nature of the vast collective domain of Rivière Descente-des-Femmes. Lake or river, spring or beach, summit or island, there's something for every adventurer mind comfortable with relative remoteness and overwhelming wildlife around.
It's open to everyone, as long as you don't disturb the scientific or amateur research and experiments on site. There are 3 food garden projects (kitchen, permaculture, medical), 3 flower garden projects (pollinisators, flower forest, milkweed), 3 market garden projects and one wood harvesting site.
In addition to the agricultural and nomadic eco-hamlet project, cabin, trailer, and tiny house project for volunteer gardeners who want to stay on site, there is also a farm guest-house, a Second-life free grocery store, an collective group kitchen and a campground. Beside farming and foresting, you can do all kind of outdoor sport, from sailjng and scuba-diving to ice-skating and surfing on water and snow.
Welcome to mindfulness! 🌈
