We need 2 volunteers
We have a 2000m2 plot of agricultural land that can become a bio-agri vegetable production business for the right couple. All we ask in return is free produce for a family of 3. We think small recompense for what's on offer.
Before we arrived 50m2 was operational as a Cottage vegetable garden supplying a significant amount of seasonal produce. Sufficient to feed a family of 8 with plenty spare. The previous owners made a reasonable living selling the excess produce at the local farmers markets. 7 markets nearby and locals will travel to buy after seeing ads on Facebook. We do so we know this is a good method of selling produce.
Sadly due to a lack of work, it has returned to nature.
We are looking to re-cultivate the existing 50m2 and develop the balance where possible over a period of time.
We own an old but faithful tractor and some implements. Our neighbours farm and have graciously offered us of their implements at no cost because they want to see the land in use.
This project, possible partnership, has a lot going for it for the right couple.

We understand some French and try every day to learn something new in our adopted language.
I am a computer support person specialising in Apple Mac and my wife a professional cook. We moved to France for my health, on a limited budget, and we are surviving but in need of help with our house. It's a project that is greater than first imagined. We can provide a UK telephone number so that if you want to stay in touch with family they can call a UK number to speak to you.
We have a 28' x 10' static caravan. sleeps 2, with all mains services connected except gas. Gas is by 13Kg bottle. Has a fast Internet connection and wifi.
If you arrive in your own mobile accommodation we have a Electricity facility plus we can connect water via flexible hose.
We will provide basic produce for self cateringAt the beginning of the project we will supply basic produce for meals.
This is a long term project for a couple who want make a small bio-agricultural business from the land we have.
