🏢 About the local organisation
The two Belgian branches of SCI decided to organize a project together in a farm close to the linguistic border, in Wallonia. Le Dorloû is a pedagogical farm, doing regular farming work and specialized in organic farming but opening its doors to school groups. The farm exists since the 17 century and was at that time a very big farm land. They diverted their production, offering products such as milk, cheese, bread, meat, vegetables, cereals, fruits and they also opened a camping site into the farm and a restaurant. The objective of the pedagogical side of the farm is to give the chance to groups of people and pupils to discover the work of the farmers and the organic agriculture.
💼 What the programme involves
Volunteers will work with Freddy and Chantal in their daily work. They will help in maintenance work (cut, pile-up timber), feeding the animals, collecting the fruits and the vegetable, doing some construction work and package cream cheese... They will learn the daily tasks of the farm.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Volunteers will sleep in tents. So you must bring your own mattress, your sleeping bag and warm clothes.
