Mas des Figuiers

We are embarking on our new project which is permaculture farming. There is always something to do and we need help! There are many jobs on the farm and in the garden. We are no dig and permaculture so if you want to learn about how we do that and you enjoy hard work and lovely weather, then this is for you. You may be doing anything from digging holes, shoveling compost, planting out seedlings, watering and weeding and so much more. Don't worry, there is a pool which you can jump into after a hard day on the farm! We also have chickens, goats and a horse and 2 dogs, so if you love animals you will be surrounded by them here.
We have a special corner of Provence - there is lots to do if you want to venture out and about - markets, hikes, sight seeing, restaurants and summer festivals and literally the best chocolate ice-cream in the world from the local village.
We think this will suit 2 friends wishing to travel together - but we always consider all applicants.
Accommodation is in a luxurious glamping tent. Electricity, proper beds and bed linen are all provided. In addition you have a private room and bathroom in the house and access to a communal space in the house.
Please be aware if you book to work here in July and August, the work is outside and it gets HOT!!! Expect the high 30’s. We start early to get a head start, but inevitably it will get hot.

We value our volunteers here. We can't do this without you, but there are times when the work is tough so we are looking for people who are willing to do that. We value anyone willing to get stuck in and get their hands dirty! You will learn a lot along the way and have lots of fun! On working days breakfast, lunch and dinner are provided and on weekends breakfast and dinner are available… Philip and I continue to work on weekends and we assume you will be busy sightseeing as there is so much to see around here…
