Je cultive des légumes de saison (env 50 variétés) sur une surface de moins d'un hectare avec un objectif de durabilité et de respect de l'environnement. Pas de paillage plastique ni de tracteur, mais du sol vivant, des amendements naturels et sourcés localement (broyat, compost et fumier). Mon terrain se situe à Aubagne, dans un endroit calme aux abords du parc national des calanques. Les activités quotidiennes seront la préparation des planches de culture permanentes, les semis, le désherbage, la taille et les récoltes. Les journées de travail sont calées par rapport aux saisons, une pause de 2h à midi, sauf en plein été où je m'arrête plus longtemps pour faire une sieste pendant que le soleil cogne trop. Nous mangeons sur place et cuisinons nos légumes. Je ne peux recevoir que des personnes qui sont autonomes au niveau camping, cependant, il y a une cuisine, de l'eau , des toilettes sèches, des douches solaires et de l'électricité. A côté de mon temps consacré au maraîchage, je fais de l'escalade (de nombreux sites à moins de 20mn), du VTT (plein de chemins directement depuis mon terrain) et du kite. Nombreuses balades possibles, le GR2013 passe à côté. La méditerrannée est à 15mn pour ceux qui veulent profiter des baignades.

Henry: The time with Jeroen at his farm was very nice. He is patient and good at explaining how to do what. Although there is not an accomodation, a place to sleep, there are beautiful and peaceful gardens. And a functional kitchen. The atmosphere is relaxed yet productive. Thanks very much for having us! Chloé: we had a great time at Jeroen's farm. Yes it's rustic and without the van, it would've been too cold for me to do it in October and November as we did... BUT he's a wonderful person, dedicated to Nature and Humans, kind, funny, knowledgeable... A good teacher and a good friend! Thank you so much Jeroen for having us, we'll come back with great joy and we hope to welcome you and your people some day at our place !

Jeroen’s farm is a wonderful place to start your first experience as a woofer! A beautiful spot, a bit secluded; everything is completely outdoors. Lovely and kind people😊

Beautiful farm where everything is done by hand (no machines), very nice people, easy to work with and knowledgable. There is vegetables and fruit trees. It is close to the forest so there animals and sometimes you get to see deer and many nice birds. I had a great time, learnt a lot felt welcome and guided. The infrastructure is rustic. Camping, a dry toilet (bucket type, so it needs to be emptied often). The shower is a hose hanging from the ceiling. No wifi The common kitchen was quite messy when I got there, if cleanliness in a kitchen is important to you, you might have to do your own cleaning ;) This was ok for me as honestly it is rare to arrive at a farm with a tidy kitchen ;) and i understand farmer's priorities aren't necessarily this, so I'm used to cleaning on arrival for my own comfort ;) besides, the people were so nice and the farm such a greatl place to be in that i didn't mind. The town/train station is a 40 minute walk away. Once you make this walk you can get to supermarkets and stores, marseille or the ocean is a 20 minute train ride. I had a beautiful time and am very grateful for the opportunity to get to know Jeroen's work. I hope to return!

We had a great experience at Jeroen's farm, doing a variety of gardening in less than a week. The stay is primitive and chill. Jeroen was good at making our stay meaningful, while giving us time to discover the area. For example we did a mountain hike, and visited the city near by, which is very cute, and have a bus connection to the sea (lots of nice beaches within an hour or so). We spend time with another wwoofer, cooking dinner in the small kitchen. In total we really enjoyed the stay at Jeroen's place 🌞

J'ai passé quelques jours au Jardin Suspendu, dans une ambiance super accueillante et joviale. L'espace est très beau, et le travail varié et intéressant. Jeroen prend vraiment le temps d'expliquer son travail et de répondre aux questions. Je recommande chaudement cet endroit magnifique ! Merci encore Jeoren pour l'accueil, j'espère revenir bientôt !

J’ai seulement passé une semaine sur le terrain mais j’ai tout de même pus voir et faire beaucoup de chose. Jeroen est quelqu’un de passionné et prends toujours le temps d’expliquer ca méthode et la raison de ses choix. Je reviendrais !
