    Description

    (Eng) My partner and I are engaged organic food growers. We are specialised in high quality products. We have been living on our farm, in beautiful and green Provence, for 14 years. We finally got around building our own house in post and beam structure and straw bale walls. As always, we like to carry on our projects by sharing the experience with others.
    We have a 4 years old daugther and a good team of people living with us on our land.

    (Fr) Ma compagne et moi sommes maraîchers bio militant. Nous sommes spécialisés dans les produits haut de gamme. Nous sommes installés depuis 14 ans dans un écrin de verdure en région provençale. Nous construisons enfin notre maison en poteau poutre/mur en paille. Comme à notre habitude nous aimons partager nos projets dans un esprit de transmission. Nous avons une fille de 4 ans et beaucoup de monde qui vit ici avec nous.
