Program Details

We expect volunteers to be part of the community, even when staying for just a week, this means live together with us: taking turns as we do cooking and cleaning, work together in the garden or woods or with animals or building things we need, sometimes give a hand in our artisanal workshop, hosting people for events and much more. We do a lot of different activities, no boredom, lot of adaptation! We eat everything but tend not to use supermakets (buying local or ethical).

Activities & Shift

We generally ask volunteers half a day of work (morning usually but could be afternoon too) and everyday help in the kitchen (eather cooking or cleaning or..). Weekends are free unless there is an event, in that case you will have free time during the week. Only if you like to spend time with children we will ask you some help with that.

Rules

We have a document that we send people to read before agreeing to come here, we will send it to you when you send a request. There many agreements are explained. Important: even when asking to stay longer, after a week together we talk about how it is going and choose together if to stay longer.
