OUR PROJECTS:

🌴The farm🌴

Zaid, the CEO and Mohamed’s dad, has the goal of making the farm and the Kasbah a “gathering place” for meaningful interactions. The project is about creating connectedness and blurring boundaries – with both locals and guests.
For us, simplicity is our ultimate luxury, the simple life, the desert life.

The farm is located 8 kilometers away from Tagounite's city center. We grow pam trees 🌴, orange trees🍊, corn🌽, but also green peas and pomegranates.
We have a small Berber building (made out of mud) with one room that we want to transform into a guest house with authentic Berber furniture.

Our goal is to welcome guests into the farm to create a community where we can all participate to grow vegetables and fruits.

Work to do at the farm:

🌴Plant watering, harvesting and growing
🌴There were differently decorated rooms constructed in the house. We think w

Activities & Shift

The excursions in the desert🏜

●Mohamed has been organizing all sorts of excursions in the desert for a while now. We want to make it a more concrete project, mainly because we like sharing our culture and show you the real desert life. Our excursions are about making memorable moments, and we consider our clients as friends and family.

●We plan to offer 3 different types of excursions and make them available, probably via bnb and ultimately through our own website. We'd be more than happy to also take you to the desert if you fancy going!

🐫 Any advice from you on how to make this project real is welcome!
🐫 And more!

Rules

The house and garden

●We live in a house in Tagounite with a nice and peaceful garden, as well as a rooftop we are currently renovating.

●Our goal is to make this house as homely as possible and we are more than happy to get your suggestions or to welcome artists who want to have their own projects in the house or garden.

●We of course have already some plans that you can help with, and since you'll be living here with us, you can help us with the day-to-day maintenance too.
We'd love to teach you how to take care of the garden, how to cook traditional Moroccan dishes like msemens, tajine and Berber pizzas.

🏠Repair the mud wall from outside with traditional mud bricks
🏠Remove the mud from the rooftop to make it a great living area (by the way we like sleeping on the roof sometimes, it's amazing!!)
🏠Take care of the garden: water, plant, harvest. We have coriander, corn, pomegrana
