  Description

  We are in the process of converting a former campsite into an ecobased food forest with recreation houses.
  In the meantime, pending the necessary permits, we are clearing away a lot of old plants and rubbish and replanting new edible plants and fruit trees. We are building new fences, cut down and saw old exotic trees and chasms of firewood. Sheep and chickens will come in the near future. There are ponies, horses and a donkey. Unfortunately, the daughters do not get enough exercise due to work and study. I live here with my son (16). We are working daily in our company in solar panels 5 km away.

  Help

  You must be able to help independently. Experience in riding and caring for horses is welcome because the two horses of my Daughters need more exercise . We have also an old Donkey ( Moses) and an elderly pony (Mickey) who would like more attention. The old campingsite is stopped . In 2022 we start to build a ecofriendly place . For 2021 we need help to plant trees and vegetables in our new Food forrest.
