  Description

  This is a small permaculture farm project shared between Marc(64, Father) Deborah(64, Mother) and Reuben (26,Son).
  
  Located in the North-west part of France, the Anjou region more specifically, we aim to produce our own food with our garden or through foraging and our daily routine revolves around that and a constant interaction with our local network.
  
  Marc and Deborah bought the farm 24 years ago with the firm intention of renovating the place and opening it to welcome others, they are a British couple who moved to France some 34 years ago.
  
  Reuben who was raised with his siblings on the property came back to the farm in 2022 after traveling in Norway for a couple years also with Workaway and is now planning on keeping the family farm alive!
  
  The local life is very rural and far from the stresses of the city. Reuben has a large circle of friends and acquaintances in the area who share similar worldviews and projects with him. He loves to take part in local activities but is also an avid traveler and hiker, and always ready for the next adventure.
  
  Marc and Debbie, coming to retirement age, also love to take part in local activities with their community network. Both practice their spirituality daily through prayer and contemplation.
