We mix small batches of cement to continue our beautiful medieval stone and brick wall (inspired by Earthships and Gaudi) also building a waterfall and smoker around our pizza oven.The work is physical and can be challenging . It helps if you are used to physical work !
We also work in our surrounding grounds, vegetable garden, orchard, food forest , weed management, harvesting, mulching , seeding and topping up hugel kultures and permaculture inspired planting...so gardeners or people interested in deep ecology, self reliant , sustainable lifestyle welcome .
