Join our farming community project in the heart of rural Auvergne, France

Detalhes

• 

  Descrição

  We are Ophélie & Alexandre, two passionate makers and dreamers who started separate renovation projects in 2020 and ended up creating something beautiful together. Each of us restored an old barn and piece of land—one focused on digital making and community sharing, the other rooted in low-tech farming and eco-building for our own consumption.
  Today, we've joined our skills and energy in Chandi'Makers, a local association supported by farmers, artisans, and makers from the area.
  Saint-Gervais d’Auvergne, a peaceful off-grid farm surrounded by nature, still under eco-construction and only for our own consumption.
  We’re committed to community, self-sufficiency, creativity, and learning. We love what we do—and we’re happy to share it with others!
