  • Description

    Description

    We are super open people living together in a close knit community. We have chefs, performance artists and two smallish beings (6 and 11 years old) living amongst us. We have been growing organically for 30 years and use the garden produce to cook delicious healthy food. We strive to live a sustainable lifestyle and our garden is key to this. We love to travel, learn and enjoy a good cultural exchange.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    You could learn alot of info on growing vegetables. We are working with natural materials such as lime and you would learn how to mix, build, etc. We are avid cooks so you would definitely pick up some cooking tips and about healthy eating. We can teach you english as that is the common language here.

    We have a one acre organic walled garden.

    We have planted loads of trees that need caring for.

    We also have two children that one doesnt go to school and we need some help babysitting.

    We ask our helpers for 4-5 hours a day five days a week. We are chefs so we share some delicious vegetarian food-

    During the helping days sometime share a lunch. We will provide all food for breakfast and dinner too but can prepare it yourself. :) On the days off we ask helpers to feed themselves.
