    >>> Hi! We are a green minded couple and a small growing community, working mainly on ethical greening, sustainable designs involving edible greens, bio-arts, slow events and photography. We are located in the idyllic green part of Flanders in de Vlaamse Ardennen.

    The location offers beautiful sights over hills, a food forest with orchard and some small wilder pieces of older forest, edible gardens, flower meadows, and beautiful green surroundings and scenic areas.

    Here are some key things to expect with us: learning by doing, nature, slow living, sustainable living, outdoor and vegetal cooking, organic farming & permaculture (for own consumption), designing & construction of sustainable infrastructure, landscaping, organic gardening, edible gardens, edible food forest, healthy food, exchanging our knowledge,..

    We love to experiment with and in nature, and learning by doing. And we share our knowledge from both sides, while doing this. Bit by bit we are living a more natural, slower life in doing so.

    We are looking for responsible people wanting to learn, share and collaborate and help make this place into a unique one. This involves all aspects of living together: cooking, household, working in team & with instructions, solo time, shared time, communication, ... We appreciate it if you have a good understanding of polite and respectful co-living, especially if you stay for a shorter time and we don't have the time to get to know each other fully first. During the resting times, we enjoy some peaceful quiet time as well. This might be your time to explore more in the neighborhood or the rest of the country, or read a book f.e.

    So, are you into this workaway experience, where you can learn things you really need and want to know about construction for sustainable housing / landscaping / gardening / living a greener and slower life, then we would love to hear from you :-)

    We are a couple in our 40's, who both love working in the food forest, combined with jobs in green management and socio-cultural work. We know all there is to know about beekeeping since some years, including how to manage the asian hornet, about nature & tree management, plants, edible greening & food forest, farming, landscaping & gardening, natural food, good health, foraging, and trekking & travelling.
    We are wild about our project, always willing to share our help and skills and learn from you as well. We've hosted lots of interesting people during this project (7 years) and are curious to meet new volunteers this winter and next seasons.

    - We can host 1 camper/van, an outdoor toilet and shower is available, and meals can be shared or not, depending on how we arrange things.
    - 1 shared sleeping room available for 2 or 3 guests.


    ////////

    PLEASE SEND US A MESSAGE WITH:

    - Your motivation to visit us.
    - Some references about yourself. If not on Workaway yet, then from other platforms, facebook, LinkedIn, ... (+link).

  • Acomodação

    Acomodação

    Welcome to sleep in the beautiful food forest and enjoy the lovely bird songs!

    We are partly off grid, which means living in nature and partly using our own energy supplies, not too close to shops or any other city life or comfort services. There is some smaller cities at biking distance. And as we have the comfort of a train station nearby (2 km), non-stop WiFi, water and electricity, a supermarket within a 10 minute bike ride, many bakeries, the site isn’t a challenging off grid.

    If you have a medical or mental condition or special requests, we need to know this in advance to see if we can provide in your needs. Don't be afraid to talk about it. We are discrete and very helpful people!

  • Algo mais...

    Algo mais...

    The train station is at only 2,5 km, with direct connection to the city of Gent.
    By bus or train you can go to Brussels in about 1 or 1,5 hour.

    De Vlaamse Ardennen are gorgeous in all seasons. Discover every piece of it by foot or bike, or by public transport.
