No Dig, aventura de permacultura en una pequeña finca al sur de Francia
La experiencia
Somos una familia "viviendo el sueño" y tenemos una granja de permacultura sin labranza y sin químicos en el sur de Francia. También estamos renovando nuestra antigua casa de piedra, así que hay una lista de tareas por hacer más larga de lo que podemos soportar!
Necesitamos personas con ganas de ayudar en nuestra aventura. Nuestra prioridad es la granja: sembrar semillas, cosechar cultivos, crear nuevos bancales de hortalizas y la preparación estacional general. Por lo tanto, la mayor parte del trabajo será en la granja, pero de vez en cuando podemos presentar algún imprevisto!

Programa detallado
Work takes place each morning for 5 hours per day 5 days per week.
We provide private shared accommodation. We have a large glamping tent which comfortably takes 3 people . This venture will suit 2-3 friends but we definitely take solo travelers. There is a private bathroom in the house which is only used by volunteers. The tent has beds with mattresses and bed linen provided so comfort has not been sacrificed. There is electricity in the tent and light. All meals are provided on working days.
* Non working days breakfast and dinner only are provided.
Weeding and watering are always on the agenda - these are two staples of the work here - weeding is a consequence of our zero chemicals ethos. In addition, there is feeding the animals - we have chickens, ducks, cats, dogs, horses and goats.
We must care for our seedlings and plants daily. This may involve potting on our seedlings, or pruning the larger veg plants. Harvesting and processing the veg are a large part of the Summer / Autumn jobs. We may need compost moving to make the new beds. This is a small sample of the work here. Depending on the season, the work does vary. There are some jobs which must be done every day, but the schedule will change daily depending on what is required.
We work alongside you everyday and we continue when you are on your free time. However, we always find the time to prepare fresh food for lunch and dinner. Cereal / tea / coffee is provided for your self service breakfast. All the veg is from the farm, so you will eat good quality home cooked meals whilst you are here.
You will learn alot about "no dig" veg growing and you will learn the basics of permaculture. You will learn the concepts of living soil and heaps about growing your own veg.
Actividades & Turnos
There is a huge amount of work to do here. Many hands are so helpful for us to progress. Our main focus is the farm.
Work is in the morning. Depending on the time of year the shift alters slightly for example Summer work starts earlier due to having light and to avoid the heat a little.
You will work alongside us and any other volunteers that are here at the same time.
* In July and August it regularly reaches 38-40+ degrees - but work must go on... This is a serious consideration before applying for those months as it is a very busy time on the farm.
Loads to do in the area in your free time - the local town is Saint Remy de Provence - an ancient town steeped in history and beauty and french cafes and boulangeries! It is a short bus ride away. Our local village is a 20min walk where there is a mini supermarket, a bar or 2 and a boulangerie for extra snacks! It is pretty to walk around.
We are at the foot of the Alpilles so if you enjoy hiking, you will be spoilt. Avignon and Arles are also very accessible by bus - again both an immersion in history and beauty.
The bus stop is a 15-20min walk and from there you have access to lots of choice.
