  • Description

    Description

    We are a community of 13 people (5 adults and 8 kids) that live in a co-housing space with a big shared garden. The project started a couple of years ago. We would like to be self sufficient in food (as much as our permaculture garden allows, and we have a few chickens) and energy (solar panels, wood, ...).
