Description
Hello, My name is Lieven, 42 years old and I'm moving to France in April 2025 to renovate an old farm and start a nature-inclusive farm to be self-sufficient.

Bonjour,
Je m'appelle Lieven, j'ai 42 ans et je m'installe en France, 36140 Crevant en avril 2025 pour rénover une ancienne ferme et créer une exploitation agricole respectueuse de la nature pour vivre en autarcie.
J'ai un champ de 0,35 ha où je veux cultiver des légumes et des fruits. Cela peut commencer à partir de zéro.
Il existe actuellement peu d'infrastructures. Je prévue un tent, toilette, douche exterieur.
Je suis ouvert aux ajustements ;-)
Mes loisirs sont les promenades dans la nature, les visites de musées, la musique, le bricolage, le jardinage, informatique, brocantes, ... J'ai joué de l'accordéon.
