  Hébergement

  During your stay you will be sleeping in a bunk bed in the common room, don’t worry though, there will never be more than four volunteers at the same time. The bathroom is shared but we plan on building another bathroom in the near future. Sometimes we will cook meals together using the produce grown on the homestead, however this depends on the season and the availability of our veggies, we are just starting out!
