We are a small collective taking care of a beautiful permacultural garden of 2.5 hectares, chosing an alternative way of living with a truthful intention to create with the Nature surrounding us.
We are located just at the Swiss border near Geneva.
This family adventure started around 30 years ago, the land were farm crops and nothing else. Passionate people contributed to make this land, an authentic small piece of heaven. We are now 5 people (between 27 and 32) taking over this incredible place. There is hard work behind to preserve what has been done and to plant new seeds for many new projects.
We are more than happy to welcome anyone willing to share good vibes, experiences, new knowledge to start growing a small community to honor and take care of this wonderful place.
Our link with the surrounding nature is a key motive to our activities here. As we are just at the edge of the big forest of Jussy we are lucky to have a lot of wildlife around our areas of activities.

Food is provided. Grocery shopping and cooking are shared and organized depending on the number of volunteers, generally taking turn following vegan/vegetarian and volunteers/hosts' own local/international recipes.
We generally eat all together at lunch time and sometimes for supper. A kitchen is available for you in the poolhouse.
The forest nearby hosts a wild reserve with protected swamps and damp forest which is beautiful all year long.
The city of Geneva (30 min away) is a small but intense cultural and multi-ethnic city with a lot to see.
All around us we are surrounded with the Alps (30min - 1hour away) which you can explore and wander or ski whether which season you are coming to see us.
