Description
We are Cedric & Abigail, 38 years old, living in the South of France with our 3 years old daughter.
We have traveled around the world for about 10 years.🌎
In 2021, we launched a beautiful project with a fig and olive grove, a greenhouse and veggie garden to produce organic food 🍆🥑 in permaculture. We have set up a pedagogic farm for schools and other structures.The project aims to 💎 take care of the Planet and the Living.
It also aims to reconcile all generations with environment, raise awareness about nature and sustainability.
There are 3 structures
🍈- an agricultural company, seperate from workaway activities, in charge of fig and olive trees, a part of market gardening and transformation.
🌱- a non lucrative association which welcomes schools, is open to youngsters, to the disabled and all publics wishing to reconnect with nature including volunteers.
👨👩👦- the private almost self sufficient homestead, producing for its own consumption
We have been cocreating this project together from scratch for 3 years, then with a team for 1 year.
We decided to dedicate our lives to it because this is what feels right for us. We reach out to you because we feel it makes sense to share this with like-minded and also with non like-minded people !🌸
We really enjoy spending time with people from all walks of life and from around the world... it's as if we continue traveling!🧳
This project takes place in the beautiful green heart of La Farlède between sea 🌊and mountain⛰️. We have a few tents (under trees) to accomodate you in.⛺️
You will get to know the French culture 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. Activities MAY include
🌾gardening
👩🌾 landscaping
🏡 general help in the house, including moving furniture or equipement,
🐕 walking the dogs... (only if you are happy to)
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 big breakfasts (only tea and fruits), but we will provide organic food for lunch and diners.
This project is for you if you:
- like nature
- like helping out
- like sharing
- like being in a community
- can be adaptable
- like taking responsabilities
- are proactive and like taking initiatives
- are automous
We look forward to having fun and sharing with you !💕

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You will learn about organic farming, permaculture and farm life!🌱🍏
Also, you will live in one of the most attractive places in France, 20 minutes away from the Mediterranean sea and its gorgeous wild beaches and 20 min away from 3 little mountains (named le Faron, le Baou and le Coudon). 🌊Here all the water sports are at hand (surf, kite surf, sailing, diving...) and there are many hikes with stunning views.
We love going to forests 🌳 and rivers when time permits.
Also, we love playing music 🎶around a fire at night, walking through the forest with our dogs , talking about our lives, spirituality, making connections...
