Description
I'm Anso, a woman of 39 years with 2 kids most of the time (7&11). With my parents and my brother we take care about 2 hectares of garden and we want to have a live with more poeple, more like a community, living togheter and sharing the tasks we have to eat 3 times a day... we need to grow vegetable, make bread, feed the sheep and the chicken etc.
Our project is to be close to the nature, grow all we can with our hands and make as much as possible ourself about vegetable but also about a lot of thinks like bread, soap, and sometimes when there is time cheese, beer etc. We make everything for our own consumption.
We will be glad to show you if you don't know how to do it our to learn from you if you know more!

Help
I would like to have some help in the garden mainly, the tasks will depend on the season. In winter there is not so much help outside. Beside of cutting wood for the fire, planting trees maybe.
But the rest of the year there is a few tasks to do, to grow vegetable, to cut the grass, take care of the animals, make hay. Harvest vegetable, fruit, transform them etc.
In the winter I may need some help inside the house to make it nice, with some art projects.
We don't sell nothing, our goal is to be happy and to take what the nature offer.
We will be happy to share that with you, more people we are more fun we have.

Accommodation
If the kids are not home and if it is the winter you can stay in my house there is 2 bedroom one with a double bed and the other with a single bed and a double bed in a mezzanine.
But the idea is to prepare 2 trailers for the workawayers. Meanwhile there is a tipi for a family of 4/5 whithout any problem.
We offer 3 meals a day in exchange for up to 25 hours a week. We share the meal of noon witch is the biggest one. But maybe some days for breakfast and dinner, we provide all the ingredients and everyone eats separately for greater independence and to rediscover a little bit of family life in the evening.
What else ...
In your free time you can walk in the Forest. It's just across the road a path to start :)
There is Vielsalm, the town, in 30 min by bike, by the ravel(safe road for bikes), our 1hour by feeth, or 10 minutes by car, where you can find a lot of shops. The other possibility is the farm shop down the village 4minutes by bike.
There is more than anything beautifful nature around us.
