WWOOF: Here's an example of how we should be living in South Africa

"We all share a growing concern for the current greed-fuelled trend of the degeneration and adulteration of our food supply. Much joy comes from sharing healthy, colourful meals fresh from a garden that’s grown with love." - from http://www.khuladhamma.org/introduction

NVDL: Wouldn't mind doing a WWOOF - World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms

B-day circle
Five friends purchased Land near the coastal village of Haga Haga in the Eastern Cape in 2000. The land is about 8 km. from the sea (with beautiful deserted beaches) and is just over 300 Hectares of rolling ‘bush veld’ with lush greenbelts, bordered on by the Quko River. Notably there’s also a fair share of alien invasive vegetation, however, this mostly provides us with an abundance construction timber and firewood.
We currently have five resident members, two toddlers (who were both born on the farm) and a baba, and three wonderful people in the process of joining. Our community is open to all who are searching for a creative, innovative, stimulating and harmonious environment that is congenial for the practical quest of ego dissolution.
Immense satisfaction comes from simple, natural living. Enthusiasm for learning and versatility leads us to share our knowledge and skills freely. The work we commonly share is gardening, maintenance, building and childcare.
