What we do

It supplies shelter (one shared house) and healthy and responsible food (mainly grown on-site) to its members. It offers its members a different social environment to experiment with new ways to live together and to develop their full potential while having an impact on their extended community. The vision we have for le Manoir community is a balance of the following 5 principles: – Human relationship – Social Justice – Nature – Autonomy – Openness
Community Description
Le Manoir is an income-sharing intentional community project. It aims food and energy sovereignty and plans to be fossil fuel-free on a horizon of 20 years. It is based on egalitarian, anti-capitalist, anti-authoritarian, feminist and activist values. As so, it is meant to be an active member of its larger community. In concrete terms, le Manoir consists of one residence, large enough to host a minimum of 12 permanent members. This collective living space allows for sharing and practicing a healthy and enriching way of life that sustains each member’s well-being and thriving and thus life in general. Inspired by principles of permaculture, radical simplicity, non-violent communication, and anarchist practices and theories, this space is one of experimentation. Le Manoir community plans to settle on a piece of land in rural Quebec by 2016. We have a land, soon in common. We also have an organic farm on the land. We are eager to share any information we might have, or answer any question you might have. Please visit our website for more information.

Social Media Intern for GEN International Hours: Up to 20/month, flexible around your schedule and availability Location: Remote, work with Eva Goldfarb Focus: Instagram + LinkedIn (TikTok if you’re into it!) Hi! I’m Eva, and I run social media for GEN International — the global network connecting ecovillages, intentional communities, and regenerative culture-builders across every continent. I’m looking for a co-conspirator to help me tell the stories of the people quietly building the future: off-grid villages in the Philippines, permaculture farms in Senegal, urban cohousing projects in Berlin, elders passing down land wisdom in the Andes. It’s a wildly rich, wildly underrepresented world, and I want more people to fall in love with it the way I have. What you’ll actually do: Dream up and create content for Instagram and LinkedIn (reels, carousels, stories, captions that don’t sound like a corporate newsletter) Dig into our global network and turn your findings into stories people want to share Pitch your own ideas. If there’s a series, a theme, a format, or a corner of the network that lights you up, that’s what I want you to focus on. What we’re looking for: A natural storyteller, someone who can spot the human thread in a project update or a photo from a faraway village Genuinely curious about ecovillages, sustainability, intentional community, regenerative living Self-motivated and communicative; this is a flexible, trust-based role Why this role: This isn’t a “post 3x a week and don’t ask questions” internship. You’ll have real creative freedom to work on what excites you, learn how a global grassroots network tells its story, and build a portfolio full of meaningful, purpose-driven content. Plus you’ll be talking to people living some of the most interesting, intentional lives on the planet. If storytelling for a better world sounds like your kind of fun, let’s talk.

Cosecha de Cafe

El periodo de cosecha se ha fraccionado bastante, por lo que se pudo observar plantas con frutos ya maduros – verdes y floreciendo al mismo tiempo. Generalmente se prefiere que la floraciĂłn se concentre, asĂ­ la cosecha tambiĂ©n se concentrara… A la fecha hemos realizado 4 recogidas y pienso faltaran 2 para completar el proceso. Se ha establecido que la floraciĂłn del cafĂ© es inducida por estrĂ©s hĂ­drico alternado por un periodo lluvioso… La floraciĂłn en el 2015 fue tan errática como el clima. Manejo de la Cosecha La calidad del cafĂ© está muy relacionada con el manejo al momento de cosecharlo Esta es la primera cosecha que manejamos en la Aldea y ha permitido identificar como podremos ir mejorando la calidad: 1. Se identificaron áreas con muchas plantas enfermas de fumagina que necesitan un manejo de la sombra o necesitan ser reanimadas con poda. 2. Hay que enfatizar en cosechar solo granos maduros (separar los verdes). 3. Despulpar inmediatamente despuĂ©s de la cosecha. 4. Mejorar las condiciones de lavado 5. En la actualidad multiplicamos microorganismos eficientes locales para aplicarlos en forma de tĂ© al suelo y a las plantas. 6. Se comienza a Identificar la vegetaciĂłn (no agresiva) la que coopera con el establecimiento del colchĂłn, debajo de la sombra. 7. Siembra de guineos en las áreas muy soleadas. En las prĂłximas semanas tendremos a la venta parte del cafĂ© cosechado, deseando que lo disfruten. Esperando que en el 2016 llueva mucho más cafĂ© en la Ecoaldea, si es que el clima lo permite.
