  Help

  Your presence does not require any particular skills, there will always be an area among all the projects where you will find pleasure in learning and carrying out. For handymen discovery of natural materials (earth, straw, wood, lime, recycling material), for gardeners discovery of the cultivation of saffron, lavender, olive trees and of course seedlings, planting and maintenance of the vegetable garden and orchard.
  All the farm's production is not sold with the exception of Saffron. Activities related to this culture are limited to the month of October only, we have our own employees.

  Accommodation

  For accommodation, there are again different possibilities, depending on the season. In the field there is a small house with kitchen, bedroom, bathroom + an independent hut. In the village a bedroom independent of the house with its private bathroom. In port a habitable sailboat. We share our meals and evenings with great pleasure, while respecting everyone's choice.
  Agnes likes to cook all the cuisines of the world, she prepares a main meal every day ensuring that everyone finds pleasure. For breakfast and dinner you are free to prepare with what is available. We are used to breakfisrt and 1 meal per day, but we understand that not everyone is into this rhythm.
