Description
As a farmer since 2014, I'm also invested in developing a collective garden on a public field in Saint-Front-de-Pradoux, which is managed by an association with townhall support.
This collective garden started in October 2022, and has been regularly improving since. This place also aims to change our attitude towards work, experiment, and serve as a pilot. Some members are more active than others but there's already been around 30 people bringing their energies here.
We have now started vegetable and farm products (apple juice, honey, ...) trades on that field to create new economic system.
Now the goal is to get recognized from official institutions to get developed even more.
I can host you on my farm in the village nearby. I have a web of professional or alternative farmers, whom I regularly visit. I'm also member of a few associations.
I participate to markets every week during summer.

Paysan depuis 2014, je m'investis également pour développer un jardin collectif sur un terrain communal, en coopération avec la mairie de St Front de Pradoux.
Ce lieu sert aussi à repenser notre travail, expérimenter et servir d'exemple. Certain(e)s sont plus ou moins actifs et c'est normal, mais une trentaine de personnes sont déjà venues apporter leur énergie sur le jardin. Nous sommes tous bénévoles.
Nous organisons désormais des trocs de légumes avec d'autres producteurs locaux (jus de pomme, miel, ...) pour développer un nouveau système économique.
Le but est désormais d'arriver à un niveau institutionnel plus important pour faire reconnaître notre travail et nous développer davantage encore.
Je peux vous héberger sur ma ferme dans le village voisin. Je visite régulièrement les paysans alentours, professionnels ou alternatifs, et suis membre de plusieurs associations.Types of help and learning opportunities

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are developing a multi-experience project : collective garden with townhall support. Many different people, interactions, different kind of works.
I started the farm from zéro, meaning my guests will be able to see what it is possible to achieve when you start from nothing.
I speak french, english, spanish...
I love international exchanges, and being your host allows me to travel at home !
Ayant démarré la ferme à zéro, les voyageurs auront une idée de ce qu'il est possible de réaliser quand on se lance seul sur un tel projet.
Je parle français, anglais et espagnol
J'adore les échanges internationaux, et être un hôte me permet de voyager à domicileHelp
Help is welcome for gardening, but also on the many new projects that are always going on.
L'aide est notamment au jardin, mais aussi sur les chantiers sans cesse renouvelés.Languages spoken
