    We are looking for polyvalent and proactive people. We expect honest people that can work both independently on a project as well as cooperating with us on other tasks.

    There are many things to do. You should find something that suits you, it goes from gardening (preparing the soil for a meadow, putting up a fence, maintenance, building a chicken coop, a log cabin, etc.) to helping inside the house by putting up plasterboards, painting, creating furniture, carpentry, woodcraft, cooking, etc. We are trying to live as sustainable as possible, so we expect you to do the same.
