Description
'We are Tatiana (33), Awen (6), Yuna (4) and Bob (42). We have a small farm in the Tarn department.
Bob :
I had a long break with yurt construction. Since march 2022, i'm constructing yurts again. I could use some help around the workshop. We've also got a couple of projects at home on our land to make place for small structures.
I'm picking up where i left 10 years ago constructing & renting yurts. And accompanying people wanting to construct their own yurt.
Tatiana :
I grow small fruits and transform them into delicious Sorbets. Help can be needed on the farm also.
Please let us know where your field of interest is in.
We arrived in the Tarn department in January 2016. Since we've been replanting small fruits for Tatiana's agricultural activity.
We finished a big renovation project on the house in 2018. We've got a new bathroom project for this summer 2023.
We met each other in the Dance culture : Contact-Improvisation & Balfolk. We don't get to do a lot of dance since we have a family and a farm, but it's in our roots and we love to do a little Bal from time to time.
Tatiana finished a 2-year teacher training program 4 years ago in BMC (Body Mind Centering). She is following another training program involving Contact-Impro & BMC.
Bob is a carpenter (not active on exterior building sites for the moment) and yurt-constructor. He has a commercial activity with an online shop. He's taking a big break from yoga & is trying to get back into Capoeira Angola. Which has always been a huge source of inspiration for him.

La plupart de mon temps, j'ai passé sur la ferme fruitière de Tatiana, où nous avons préparé la saison : nous avons désherbé, planté de nouveaux fraisiers, taillé… read more
Les activités et les coups de main à donner ne manquent pas; entre le chantier de rénovation orchestré par Bob et le travail à la ferme guidé par Tatiana il y a de quoi faire, apprendre, observer, échanger... bref de quoi se régaler!!
Merci pour votre accueil, vos sourires et votre philosophie… read more
