Description
Hi.
We are french family ,Ben,Ophélia and Nayan our two year old son.
We are living in France in the Jura province , more precisely in ophélia 's family village.
We bought family land five years ago with the objective of creating a small organic farm.
We curerently grow edible flowers that Ophelia sells to restaurateurs. We also grow vegetables for ourselves.
Few months ago we have had the opportunity to start to renovate a small farming building. The idea is to get a proper workshop and much more.
We love this countryside life style full of action.
We also have two horses and love outdoor sports such as rock-climbing, hiking and sailing.
Our beautiful region offers the opportunity to continuously enjoy nature.Here we find numerous rivers,lakes and large forests in a generally preserved environment.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
It's a great chance to discover a beautiful region,with stunning landscapes and lovely lakes, perfect for cooling off or just wandering around and daydreaming.
We are also pleased to know that you will be able to learn more about life on a small organic farm. If you would like to experience self-construction and the use of natural materials, this project will be beneficial for you.
We're lucky to be surrounded by lots of local,citizen led initiatives,and there are always small cultural events popping up. We'll be happy to share them with you!
Expect simple ,joyful moments with our family and a small circle of friends from the village. And of course, you 'll get to taste and explore delicious local products from the area's small-scale,pleasant style farming.
Help
The goal is to participate in the renovation of the building, which will serve as a functional workspace for storing plants grown on the farm and for various on-site activities.
The spirit of the project is "less budget, more DIY, and total joy"!
As a participant in the building renovation, you will be able to learn more about natural construction and life on a human-scale farm.
We are also working to improve the volunteer facilities, ensuring a more comfortable and practical environment.
Depending on time and individual preferences, help in the kitchen, garden, and with the animals will also be welcome.
