After the insulation of the "Auberg'in" building this year, the insulation work is taking place on a building called "The Farm". This building hosts the long term volunteers but also the offices and housing of the permanent employees. For the comfort of the people and for ecological reasons, we want to improve the insulation of this stone house. With the help of the technical supervisor, we will work with eco-construction techniques and materials (such as hemp and lime, wood). We will build a wooden frame on the outside of the house. This framework will be used to contain the insulation, made of a mortar of lime and hemp straw. At certain times, we will work at height, using a scaffolding. The time spent on the site is approximately 30 hours per week.

Housing will be in individual tents, that we furnish and provide mattresses for, on the campgrounds of the Ferme du Faï. The campgrounds have access to showers, restrooms, and the kitchen. There’s no WIFI, but you’ll be able to meet people from all over the world ! We’ll take turns cooking, that way we’ll be able to taste a number of different specialties ! Here, we pay attention to what we eat, and to reduce our impact on the planet, we try to eat a maximum of local products and limit eating meat to twice a week. The collective life is organized together: organization of the menus (vegetarian, vegan and other possible specific diets), shopping, activities, etc. The meals will be shared by all the people present on the farm. Bring a mattress, a good comforter (nights can be cold) and a pillow (to be adapted according to your needs).

We will be in an exceptional location to discover the joys of hiking among the mountains, its rivers, its lakes, the farmers markets, and festive events organized in the surrounding villages (depending on programming). As a group, we’ll decide the activities and outings that we want to set up (subject to distance). Once a week, the welcome center generally organizes an evening of music with homemade woodfired pizzas.
