  We have our own big vegetable garden that needs maintenance, fruit trees that needs some love, free range chickens to take care of and 2 cats that needs to be fed.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  here where we don't have to be anything, but together we can do and learn anything.
  
  In our projects on the mountain we try to work mostly with natural materials, usually combined with wood. We work with raw materials around us (trees from the land, rocks we collect) and trying to stay as natural as possible is within our gole.
  Working and experimenting with all tools and building materials (non-toxic).
