Description
Hello helpers,
We are a family of 3, Laura, Cyril and baby Eleanore. We have a cat, 3 goats, 4 chickens (and a lot of baby chicks to come).
We live in an old farmhouse with 1,5 ha of land.
We are renovating all buildings in an eco-friendly way, trying techniques of eco-construction such as natural coating, wood building, straw building, earth building...
We cultivate aprox. 300m2 of land using permaculture principles.
We are hosting events such as yoga retreats (Laura is a yoga teacher), ecoconstruction training, wellness fair...Types of help and learning opportunities

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We know permaculture and natural buildings, so we will gladly explain everything if you are interested.
We could do yoga together.Help
We constantly have new projects where help would be very welcomed.
Here is a few examples:
- tending to the permaculture veggie garden
- tending to the animals, building an extension to the chicken fence
- tending to the land: lawn, fallen branches, moving stones, etc.
- building new structures: earth pizza oven, compost toilets, external showers
- renovating the existing buildings with natural techniques
But your personal project could also be welcomed, such as art to decorate Pommaïa, renovating old furniture...
The exchange would be 4/5 hours of work per day, 5 days a week, and we provide accomodation (all week) and food (5 days a week).
We wish for a minimum of 4 days stay and a maximum of a month.Languages spoken
