    Description

    Come and share some great time with us in a small and quiet village in south of The Landes helping and learning new skills. We are about one hour away from the ocean beaches and the Pyrénées mountains.

    I'm Périnne and he's Omar. We are a couple madly in love with nature and exchanges.
    We have been living for 3 years in a house with 1.5 hectares of land in which we plan to create a permacultural place, opened to everyone with the goal of taking care of nature and sharing of knowledge and know-how.
    I have an 11-year-old son, Elie, and we just had a little girl, Maïssa, 5 months old.
    Our days are busy between the children, the garden, the animals and the renovation of the house.
    We are flexible with the help you can provide, there is different tasks to do, as :

    - permaculture
    - seeding, planting, growing and transforming fruit, vegetables...
    - eco-renovation
    - looking after the animals
    - cleaning and cooking
    - maintenance
    - DIY
    - lands maintenance
    - help with what you like to do
    - ...

    private homestead, only producing for own consumption and sharing the surplus with friends and neighbors
    until we finish renovating the 1st floor of the house, volunteers are accommodated in camping area, they will be provided with a tent, mattress and all the bedding needed.
    lunch and dinner will be shared all together, for the breakfast you will have access to what you need to prepare it on your own
    volunteers are invited during their stay to cook a meal from their inspiration, the ingredients can be provided
    We've been volunteers for few years and started hosting the last couple of years, we joined workaway to open our lovely place to the world
