Mas des Figuiers

We have a small holding in beautiful Provence. There is always something to do and we need help! There are many jobs on the farm. We are no dig, permaculture and zero chemicals, so if you want to learn about how we do that and you enjoy hard work and lovely weather, then this is for you. As we use zero chemicals, we take extra care of our soil and plants to harvest the best, most nutritious vegetables. You will be able to learn about all the benefits and the high (and lows) of producing food like this.
You may be doing anything from digging holes, shoveling compost, planting out seedlings, watering and weeding and so much more. We also have chickens, ducks, farm cats, goats and horses and 2 dogs, so if you love animals you will be surrounded by them here.
All lunches and dinners are fresh home cooked meals with veg from the farm.
We have a special corner of Provence - so this is the perfect location for anyone who loves to discover and explore - markets, hikes, sight seeing, cafe's and boulangeries and summer festivals and literally the best chocolate ice-cream in the world from the local village.
We think this will suit 2-3 friends wishing to travel together - but we consider all applicants.
Accommodation is in a luxurious glamping tent. Electricity, proper beds and bed linen are all provided. In addition you have access to a private 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! There are times when the work is tough so we are looking for people who are up for the challenge. 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! We work alongside you and all the volunteers work together on the farm. There is a daily schedule for the 5 hours work - some tasks are daily, whilst many vary from day to day. * On working days breakfast, lunch and dinner are provided and on non work days breakfast and dinner only are available… Philip and Rachel continue to work on weekends and imagine you will be knee deep in exploring everything the region has to offer.
