Description
We're an european family, French man, Dutch lady, a two year old son and another coming this year. Two years ago we moved from Amsterdam to L'Isle-en-Rigault to live according to our values, learning pragmatic skills and becoming more resilient.

There're many activities to do around here (see below). We are starting up an energy community in the village. So we're about to produce our own electricity for the village. Besides that we are learning ourselves about foodforests, multiplication techniques for plants and trees, ways of gardening that are better adapted to the climat changes we are facing, renovation of a off the grid house etc...

We could really use a hand of people keen on handy tasks but also artistic tasks. We try bringing a sense of beauty and art in whatever we do. From very small tasks like hanging outdoor lamps or renovating old wooden buffet to bigger tasks as described below in our longer term projects.
We have a lot of space and many ideas: a greenhouse made of old windows, a garden house made of willow tree branches, a chicken house...
Our long term projects are :
- Food forests and perennial vegetable garden. We try seeding and multiplying our own plants and trees. You can help us if you like this kind of work.
- Renovating the café of Hervé's ancestors. The place has been closed for decades, and it's like a small museum. We want to clean it and start using it as a meeting place for the villagers and other visitors. We would like to renovate it with only ecological materials and in a off the grid / low tech way. It requires a lot of time and skills which we don't have yet. We definitely need a hand with that! It could become a comfy meeting space/small shop/guesthouse/café to gather and share knowledge about food forests, perennial vegetable gardens, wild picking, cooking, community energy, etc...
- Work with the village to insure local energy and food production.Langues parlées

Eating is together with us in the kitchen with living room, or wherever you like.

Speleology (we never tried yet)
Many hiking and mountainbike tracks around
