    Description

    I have worked as volunteer around the world from 2010 to 2014; i helped as farmer, carpenter, in orphanage, in school in Asia, South Amercia, Africa.

    Then from 2015 to 2018, I have co-create an éco-village where I have received about 40 volunteers in 4 years.

    Since march 2020, I have create a non profitable association on a land of 1ha (10 000m²):
    1/market garden, plant fruit tree, have egg..
    The produce sold goes straight back into the 2nd part of the project :
    2/ teach to children and adult how to garden, use wild plant or have an ecological life style with few money.

    Since september 2021, I have a small house at 200m from the garden with 3 bedrooms (mine and 2 for the helper). So it's why I can host for free in exchange to help me and learn how to be marked gardener.
    As it's written in the feedback, the house need a lot of renovation, I don't have hot shower, it's not very well isolate but I hope it will be better in 2023. If you have skill to improve the house, feel you free (I have a budget for that but I use if possible second hand furniture for ecological choice).

    The meals are with 90% of the garden (vegetable, potatoes, eggs, wild plant), and sometimes with freegan food.
    I buy some french cereals (french rice, black wheat...) and lentils, red beans.
    For my part, I eat almost raw directly in the garden and cook sometimes only one times per day.
