  Description

  Hi! Welcome to our old renovated farm, shared with my partner and 2 kids (born in 10/2021 and 12/2024).
  We live in a rural area, not far from a forest, and near a village that has basic shops. Nearest towns are Jodoigne, Wavre and Leuven.
  We have a big garden with fruit trees, berry bushes, veggie garden, pond, 4 sheep, ducks and cats. We manage it according to permaculture principles and to optimise biodiversity. But we are in great need for extra hands to help us manage all of this, and add to the existing beauty.
  
  ====== Hello! Bienvenue dans notre vieille ferme rénovée, partagée avec mon compagnon et mes 2 enfants (nés en 10/2021 et 12/2024).
  Nous sommes au milieu des champs, non loin d'un bois, près d'un village qui dispose de quelques commerces et à proximité de Jodoigne, Wavre et Leuven.
  Nous avons un grand jardin avec arbres fruitiers, petits fruits, potager, étang, moutons, poules et chats. Gestion avec les principes de permaculture et de respect du vivant. Nous avons grand besoin de mains supplémentaires pour entretenir tout ça, et ajouter de la beauté et de la biodiversité à cet espace.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  We live in a rural area, not far from a forest, and near a village that has basic shops. Nearest towns are Jodoigne, Wavre and Leuven.

  Aide

  We need help with the garden (some is just for the beauty of it, but we also have a big section of forest garden, with fruit trees, berries, and more). All kinds of seasonal tasks, depending on your personal interests and desires.
  There is also some tasks that can be done with prepping fire wood if you like that, and some finishing touches on the inside of the house.
  We will of course be together, and share all knowledge about wild plants, medicinal plants, gardening, preserving, etc.

  Our sheep from ouessant. Different ages, different caracters, but all four are cute and funny ^^

  

  Ducks and chicken

  We let them free (and lock them in for safety during the night). Usually a few chicken, and for now 2 ducks who take care of our pond ^^

  Aria (12 ans)

  Our oldest one, a lady that spends most of her time napping, and has quit jumping altogether. Let's say she retired ^^
