Making A Crust
Since our move to France, the most commonly asked question is “How are you making money/a living/ends meet?”.

Spring Has Sprung

Les Vignes Basses has been a hive of activity over the past month. Between building projects, permaculture design courses, sub-zero temperatures and our first visitors, we’ve also been getting ready for spring and started teaching online again.
