  Description

  Hello!
  
  We are a fledgling collective project in Ariège, in the commune of Lescure, made up of Boris and his daughter Amel, and Etienne and Elodie and their son Aurel (all in their thirties, and the children are 4 years old).
  
  The idea is to give the project an agricultural dimension. For now, we are starting the vegetable garden and orchard (we already have fruit trees that are bearing fruit), and we are also planning to have a chicken coop and grow edible mushrooms, among other things.
  For the moment we all have a job outside the house, so we can t actually really be present for the volunteers. Hopefully I (Boris) will quit my job in the next months and be able to go full gardening in the land !
  
  We are looking for motivated people to discover and help us with this project!
  We all live in a large house and share the common areas, including the kitchen. There are one or two spare rooms available. We enjoy gardening together during the day and having evenings of music or games around the fireplace or a campfire, depending on the season.
  We live less than 15 minutes from Saint-Girons, a small town with plenty of cultural activities, including a really nice farmer and artist market. Ariège, in general, is brimming with activities.
  Enjoy!

  Bonjour !
  Nous sommes un projet collectif naissant en Ariège, sur la commune de Lescure, composé de Boris et sa fille Amel, et de Etienne et Elodie et leur fils Aurel (tous la trentaine et les enfants ont 4 ans).
  L'idée est de donner au projet une dimension agricole. Pour l'instant nous démarrons le potager et le verger (déjà des fruitiers qui donnent), et nous envisageons aussi d avoir un poulailler et faire de la culture de champignons comestibles, entres autres.
  Nous cherchons des personnes motivées de découvrir et de nous aider sur ce projet !
  Nous vivons tous dans une grande maison et partageons les espaces communs dont la cuisine. Il y a une voir deux chambres libres pour vous accueillir. On aime bien jardiner ensemble en journée et faire des soirées musique ou jeux autours de la cheminée ou d un feu de camp le soir, selon la saison.
  On vit à moins de 15minutes de Saint-Girons qui est une petite ville avec pleins d activités culturelles, dont un marché de producteurs, artisans et artistes très chaleureux. L'Ariège en général déborde d'activités.
  Au plaisir !
