Détails du programme

Hi! We are Périnne and Omar, a nature-loving couple living in a quiet village in the South of Les Landes, France – just one hour from the Atlantic Ocean and the Pyrénées mountains. We live on a 1.5-hectare property where we are slowly creating a permaculture homestead open to others who want to reconnect with the land, nature and each other 🌱

We have two children: Elie (11 years old) and Maïssa (5 months), so our days are full of love, laughter and a lot of work! Between parenting, gardening, caring for animals and renovating our house, there's always something to do – and that's where you come in!

There’s no pressure – we’re flexible and will always try to match tasks with your interests and skills.
You can help with:

Permaculture & gardening (planting, seeding, harvesting...)

Caring for our animals (sheep & chickens)

Eco-renovation of our home

Cleaning & cooking

DIY & general maintenance

Transforming food (jams, sauces, preserves...)

Sharing your skills and ideas!

We produce only for our own consumption and share any surplus with friends and neighbors.
