Help us maintain our no-dig vegetable garden and syntropic agroforestry rows: activities include planting, mulching, organic weeding, and harvesting fresh seasonal produce for our restaurant.
Assisting with our rational grazing system: you’ll help look after our animals, ensuring they have fresh pasture, water, and a clean environment, following high welfare and regenerative standards.
Help with eco-friendly maintenance around the farm: this can range from repairing wooden fences and stone walls to assisting with small bio-construction projects or fixing tools.
As part of our communal living, we all help keep our space welcoming: this includes light cleaning of the professional kitchen after meals, and ensuring the common areas and bedrooms are tidy for everyone’s comfort.
Rules
Respect for Nature: We follow ecological principles, so mindful use of resources is essential.
Proactivity: We value a hands-on approach and a willingness to learn.
Community Spirit: Helping with the cleanup after communal meals is much appreciated!
