  Description

  Welcome to a place where the land nourishes, heals, and connects :)
  
  Our 16-hectare agroecology family farm, managed by my father for nearly 20 years, is where I feel most at home.
  My name is Line, half Moroccan - half Belgian, bioengineer with a PhD on social-ecological transition towards virtuous equity for all.
  
  Nestled in a region with an incredible pedoclimatic conditions climates, the farm is rich in biodiversity, with trees and crops ranging from tropical to local and temperate species, creating a thriving ecosystem with beautiful landscapes and serenity feelings.
  
  Our ambition ? To contribute to Morocco’s and beyond’s food sovereignty by cultivating a living agriculture—healthy soils, peasant and ancestral seeds blossoming, thriving plants and animals, ecological constructions, and people in good health, from farmers to eaters.
  Beyond the farm, we are building a network of small producers, to enhance agroecological/biodynamic practices and to revive peasant/ancestral seeds, by assuring the valorization of theirs products to conscious and engaged eaters.
  
  Either my father & my mother in-law, or I, are on-site. Moreover we have a super team of local workers on site everyday : Fouad, Ahmed and Mohamed.
  
  The farm is located 15 minutes by car from the charming coastal town of Asilah and the Atlantic Ocean.
  
  Get in touch if you feel inspired by an immersion into a lifestyle grounded into Nature synergy and rural Moroccan authenticity

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  Our farm is located in a non-touristic rural area, not far from the small town of Asilah. This setting offers a genuine experience of the Moroccan countryside, where life follows a natural rhythm, shaped by the seasons and agricultural work.
  
  While our family has a mix of Moroccan and Western influences, it is our local workers who truly embody and share the richness of traditional Moroccan rural life. They are always happy to introduce you to their customs, invite you for tea or meals, and share their knowledge of farming and nature.
  
  Volunteers will also naturally form their own community. We have accommodation that can host between 3 to 5 people at a time, creating a shared living environment where cultural exchange happens organically—through daily tasks, meals, and conversations.
  
  If you are looking for an authentic rural experience, a connection with nature, and an opportunity to share skills and perspectives with both locals and fellow volunteers, you will feel at home here!

  Aide

  As in any biodiverse farm, the work is quite varied! :)
  
  You could contribute to:
  Agricultural tasks: Permaculture design, plant and animal care, soil regeneration, harvesting, seedling production, composting, and irrigation system maintenance.
  Construction and renovation: Sustainable building techniques (earth, wood, natural insulation), general maintenance, and creative eco-friendly projects.
  
  We strongly believe in exchanging knowledge and learning together! On the farm, you’ll have the opportunity to observe and learn from our local workers, who have a deep understanding of traditional farming techniques and the local environment.
  
  While we, as hosts, are present part-time, we are always happy to share insights into agroecology, seed saving, natural building, and other aspects of our work anf life in Morocco when time allows. Likewise, we welcome the opportunity to learn from your own experiences and skills!
  
  Most of the time, you will be working independently or alongside the team, but there will be plenty of moments for discussion and cultural exchange.
