    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.

    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.
