Eco-friendly family farm in the south of Marrakech, Morocco

  Description

  We are a mixed family (Indian - Reunion - French for me and Moroccan-French for my wife) with 3 incredibles boys (10, 7 and 4) living in south of Marrakech (20 Km from City Center, facing the High-Atlas Mountains) on a micro-farm since May 2019.
  
  We are "learning by doing" autonomy and resiliency, sustainable growth and farming, building on multiples experimentations and knowledge sources (local, permaculture, The Agragarians, Forest Garden...).
  
  We have 1ha in total with a big new traditional house as well as a dedicated guest house, and the rest is dedicated to creativity and nature.
  
  We have started Phase 6 in Jan 25 aiming to switch to a syntropic approach (+8000 new plants + 150 kg of seeds). Phases 4 (Q1 23) and 5 (Q1 24) were about accelerating the soil regeneration as well as number of plantations, while taking care of the 200+ newly planted trees in Phase 3 (November 22). That phase was about sourcing and planting more than 2000 plants from 100+ species. Phase 2 of the project was about preparing the soil and irrigation for a Forest-Garden. Phase 1 was mainly around the vegetable and herb garden (around 1000m2) mixed with 70+ trees (olives, lemons, oranges, apricots...).

  Aide

  We are looking for diverse skills around permaculture / ago-ecology, sustainable building, arts & decoration indoor and outdoor.
  We want to offer our guests a great experience that fit both into your skills & passion, and where you can also learn with and from our skills and passion. Therefore we want to co-define your "stay's project" with you.
  Examples of projects :
  In agro-ecology, you can help us in fine-tuning our holistic design and work along with us to bring this design to life, ranging from core farming skills to plastic recycling, solar power, water management in dry climate.
  In eco-building and decoration, you can participate in decorating our guests' house, making furniture, etc.
  In our arts' garden, you can decorate the walls, develop artworks (statues, natural objects...) that will fit into the different areas.
  You can also help us communicate on our project in the social networks.

  Brand new independant earth and timber house built from our own soil, including 3 single beds dedicated to workawayers, 1 bathroom and 1 dry toilet.
  
  We have staff onsite from Monday until Saturday that cook African - Moroccan - Indian - European food. We source the vegetables as much as possible from our garden. We have a very healthy diet balancing vegetables and protein (beans - soya - chicken - eggs - fish and sometimes even beef or porc cold cuts). We offer our hosts either to eat alone or joining us.
