Description
Hello and welcome!
We're a warm and welcoming local family based just outside El Jadida, Morocco, working on creating a self-sufficient and eco-friendly farmstead. Our dream is to build a sustainable lifestyle connected to nature—growing our own food, raising animals, and using natural materials to create a beautiful, functional space.
We’re looking for experienced and hands-on volunteers who can help us bring this dream to life! If you’re passionate about gardening, farming, permaculture, and DIY building projects, we’d love to have you join us!
