    Description

    We are a multi-generational family that is deeply concerned with creating a place of food autosufficiency by re-creating the vegetable garden and orchard that used to be present on the land around our home. Most of that work will take place in from January through October. Participating in this project would be a great opportunity for someone wanting to do this later for themselves. Besides that the experience is more about country life with long discussions about how to become a better human being and a force for good . We are bilingual and love to share our knowledge of the beautiful places around our home that people can visit. Deborah and Caroline who are both former gourmet vegan chefs and now professional vegan culinary teachers , and you will surely learn by helping to prepare daily meals with them. When our cooking classes are on, help with clean-up ( zen activity if ever there was one:) is always a wonderful help in making things flow.

    Deborah can teach both English , French, veganism, permaculture, vegan cooking and pastry and French art and culture . We are a practicing Christian family that tries to embody the qualities of compassion, tolerance, and charity!

    Looking forward ot getting to know you!!
