Program Details

We host up to 5 helpers at a time in high season. They live together and eat together in a nice shared space we call "le Pavillon". They help us with daily tasks to maintain the land, the buildings, the animals. Sometimes the work is very physical. They gain practical knowledge about agriculture, botany, autonomous lifestyle.
We expect from volunteers to practice autonomy, to be as respectful as they can of the ecology and of the project and its inhabitant, to hold a great amount of motivation and passion about what they are about to experiment, to be authentic and transparent in their communication. Be yourself!
