Let's renew the farmhouse facade!

CODE: SJ32

Work:

You'll be working on finalizing the lime-hemp insulation of the facade, renovating the original staircase leading up to the side, and building the wooden balcony floor. You will also help us maintain the site's outdoor spaces by renovating the farmhouse. A local expert will guide you through the various phases of the work. Some activities involve working on scaffolding. Each day, two members of the group will take turns preparing meals for the team; the menu will be defined in advance. You will work on construction sites during the mornings from Monday to Friday.
Generally speaking, the work involves masonry, preparing tools and meals, as well as organizing and setting up collective life.

Accomodation and food

We host you at La Ferme du Faï, at an altitude of 1,000 meters. You will be accommodated in individual tents. A kitchen, dry toilets, and showers will be at your disposal on the site.
Here, we take care with our food to reduce our environmental impact: we eat local as much as possible and reduce our meat consumption to twice a week.
Daily life is organized collectively: menus (vegetarian, vegan diets, etc.), shopping, activities, and so on. Once or twice for weeks, we organize shopping trips using the vehicles provided on-site.

Location and leisure

Le Faï farm is 2 km from the village of Le Saix and 13 km from the town of Veynes. There's no Wi-Fi, so the connection is weak, but you'll meet people from all over the world!

The site is located below the summit of Aujour Mountain, so the view may inspire you to discover the pleasure of the hike in your spare time. Indeed, this wilderness spot is ideal for mountain walking and wandering. You'll have the chance to discover the area in the company of a group of international volunteers, which will enrich your experience. Here, you'll be the protagonist of your stay: you'll organize your free time together with the support of our staff.

Project hosted by

A small valley in the heart of a sublime landscape, a sound system that makes the mountain resound with its echoes, people from the four corners of the world work side by side and experience international encounters on concrete tasks. Where?
Come to discover the unusual place of the Faï farm: an old mountain farmhouse that lives on today thanks to a team of employees working on renovating the site's buildings, artists and musicians in artistic residences, hikers passing through, and aficionados. For several years now, we have been working on renovating the Farmhouse building with thick hemp-lime insulation and natural-pigmented plaster on the exterior.
We're in the final stages of renovation, so come and help us complete the project!
