    Description

    We are a small team working to bring our third place to life amidst the vineyards on the shores of the Mediterranean.
    We currently cultivate permaculture crops and maintain a 5,000 square meter plot of land that includes two greenhouses and a unique cabin.
    Our projects are evolving, and we are beginning work to become an educational farm and welcome a wider audience. To achieve this, we are in great need of help with DIY, mainly with Laurent, but also for some gardening or landscaping.
    Lise and Laurent are the main players in our association and would be happy to welcome motivated and friendly people to carry out various tasks on our site.
    We are in the heart of nature and we love animals. Currently, we have two old Labradors, a small cat, and beehives on our land, but we also plan to install chickens, rabbits, and small goats.
    Our educational farm project aims to be a place to raise awareness about nature conservation, and Lise is working on educational workshops to educate young and old alike.
    Our town is located by the sea, between Toulon and Marseille, and offers a rich heritage to discover.

    Nous sommes une petite équipe oeuvrant à faire vivre notre tiers-lieu au milieu des vignes en bordure de la Méditerranée.
    Actuellement, nous cultivons en permaculture et entretenons un terrain de 5 000 mètres carrés qui comporte 2 serres et une cabane insolite.
    Nos projets évoluent et nous entamons des aménagements pour devenir une ferme pédagogique et accueillir un plus large public. Pour ce faire, nous avons grand besoin de renfort pour le bricolage principalement avec Laurent, mais aussi pour un peu de jardinage ou d'aménagement du terrain.
    Lise et Laurent sont les principaux acteurs de notre association et seront heureux d'accueillir des personnes motivées et sympathiques pour réaliser diverses tâches sur notre site.
    Nous sommes au coeur de la nature et nous aimons les animaux. Pour l'instant, nous avons sur notre terrain deux vieux labradors, une petite chatte et des ruches mais nous comptons installer aussi des poules,des lapins, des petites chèvres...
    Notre projet de ferme pédagogique se veut être un endroit de sensibilisation à la protection de la nature et Lise travaille sur des ateliers éducatifs afin de sensibiliser petits et grands.
    Notre commune est située en bord de mer, entre Toulon et Marseille, elle propose un riche patrimoine à découvrir.
