Description
We are Cedric & Abigail, 37 years old, living in the South of France with our 4 months old baby. We are launching a beautiful project with a greenhouse to produce organic food, we aim to set up a pedagogic farm for schools and plant more fruit trees.The project aims to reconcile all generations with environment, raise awareness about nature and sustainability.
It is a private self sufficient homestead, producing for our own consumption. This summer, we welcomed schools and we wish to open to youngsters and all publics to reconnect with nature.
This project takes place in the beautiful green heart of La Farlède between sea and mountain. We have 1 caravane and a few tents (under trees) to accomodate you in.
You will get to know the French culture with the cuisine and the language!
If many Workawayers are here at the same time, then we can organise a rotating system where 1 person a day cooks for all, so we'll be able to discover many dishes from different countries!
Experience is a bonus but not essential. We also need help with gardening and landscaping and general help in the house, including moving furniture or equipement.
Our family (father and grandmother) live on the same ground, so we'll ask you to respect their privacy.
A minimum of 2 week stay is best for us.
We do not provide breakfast, but we will provide organic food for lunch and diners.
We look forward to having fun and sharing with you !

Also, we love playing music 🎶around a fire at night, walking through the forest with our dogs
talking about our lives, spirituality, making connections...

If the caravane is already taken, there is room for tents (which we can provide with sleeping equipment).
We propose meals which can be vegetarian and gluten free if needs be.
We do the grocery shopping for lunches and dinners, then you are free to cook how you want ! if there are more than 2 volunteers, we propose a rota system.
What else ...
We have a list of amazing places and things to do on your time off. We have bikes if you don't have a car.
The closest train station is about 20 min away (Toulon or Hyeres) and from there you can take a train to St Tropez, Monaco, Aix en Provence, Nice, Eze, Verdon...
