Description
In a lovely place with old cork trees and spring water, we are a small community trying to building an Oasis for the next generation.
I live with my 2 kids, Alice and Olmo, some residents and volonteers, a dog and some cats.
Coming from childhood dream to live in a treehouse, we start this project 7 years ago, in a small caravan in the forest, on the slope off a mountain. Now with much more conforme but still with conscience of where come from things.
We are restoring a farm to create a refuge in a very privileged place to care for people and earth.
Getting autonomy is our main stream.
We look creatif, open mind and practical people. :)
Also, we look for gardeners or handy personn to finish Clay Bus and cooker to help with "pizza pottery party", beer making, all with fun and Love :)
The food propose is vegetarian and accommodation camping or you can stay in a gipsy caravan and can use the hot shower and kitchen. It is simple, but lovely, specially in for nature lover.
Normaly you help and learn 5*4h /weeks so more or less 20 hours.
Familly with kids can be welcome!
Is forbidden to smoke on the property.
We are waiting for you! :)

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You will benefit from multi-language-kids speaking, living on top of a beautiful mountain, near to a castle and to medieval city. You can stay in an old english caravan, with a permaculture landscaping design outside. You can also learn about water management, gardening, recycling, upcycling, wood working and about new cultures and languages - because you will stay in touch with people from many places, so you can try new foodies too. You can swim in a natural lac or river, but the mainly thing is that you will be close to wild nature in a small paradise.
Projects involving children

We had opportunity to sleep in a tree house up the hill. Then visit the most gorgeous village Castelo De Vide, by guidance of the most happy french guy we ever met, Julien :) And in the end drink as pure water as Fred´s hospitality.
We are happy that… read more
