Join the crew of the Pirate family and enjoy fun permacultural farming in Aquitaine, France

Description

Nous sommes une famille avec deux enfants (et bientôt une colocataire et ses deux enfants). Nous avons récemment acheté une superbe ferme à restaurer juste à côté de Bergerac. C'est un fond de vallon orienté plein Sud où coule un ruisseau. Notre copain Martux y produit sa bière et bientôt, y poussera son houblon.
Nous avons l'écologie et le bien-être à cœur et sommes en voie d'être autonomes alimentairement, et énergétiquement. Nous mangeons de moins en moins de viande.

Heureux sont nos poules, nos légumes et nos arbres fruitiers, ils se développent librement ! On aime bien essayer de valoriser les déchets de la brasserie, les bambous et les plantes sauvages.
Vous pourrez nous aider aux récoltes (plantes cultivées ou sauvages), aux écoconstructions, à l'amélioration de l'esthétique du lieu...
Venez faire vivre ce beau lieu par vos talents et votre bonne humeur !
Bergerac est une ville très agréable, de nombreux concerts/événements y ont lieu et c'est une ville très bien desservie.
Nous parlons anglais, espagnol et un peu occitan

Help

We try to find our way to be as autonomous as possible. So we need help at the garden to do the maintenance (plantation and cutting grass) and to harvest vegetables, eggs and fruits. We use hands tools when we can.
