  • Description

    Description

    We are a belgian family (French speaking) of four, with 2 teenages children, and a dog :-) All passionnated in our own fields (permaculture, soil, river ecology, wetland, insects, crafting,... and balls ;-)).
    Our desire is to learn, to try and then to be able to pass on what we have learned in our quest for a more resilient life.
    We welcome some help of course, but mainly would like to develop exchanges.

  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    After our own travelling experience, we decided to make New Zealand our home, coming from Belgium. Now settled in a rural area with a few bounding obligations (vege garden, animals,...) we still would like to discover the world, but through our guests. We can offer some french conversations, and lots of stories about Belgium (we so miss our cheese and beer that we are in the learning process of making our own :-)).

    We have a well diversified vege garden, an established orchard, chooks and sheeps, as well as some bush and a wetland to take care of. Lots of opportunities to help us, either with Marlene, doing compost, making natural fertilisers, weeding, harvesting,... or with Seb, taking care of the natives and helping developing our wetland.
