    Description

    Welcome to our place!

    We are three French women, Zoé (animal caretaker), Maelle (doctor in biology) and Loubna (artist) and together we took over an old farm in the south of Aveyron between hills, meadows and forests and we are looking to make it a haven of ecological peace.

    This is a place of tranquility and sharing, run largely by an association for the protection of nature, cohabitation and the well-being of individuals.
    Here we grow our fruits, vegetables and medicinal herbs, we collect rainwater and we use dry toilets, we live with animals and ecosystems.

    ANIMAL WELL-BEING: Animals are part of the collective, we take care of them as we take care of ourselves. Today the place is home to five horses, two goats, three dogs, a cat and around ten chickens.

    VEGETABLE GARDEN: 900m2 to grow what nourishes us, work the land while respecting it and getting as close as possible to permaculture. Depending on the time of year, we have many vegetables to process to preserve them!

    FR- Bienvenue chez nous!

    Nous sommes trois françaises, Zoé (soigneuse animalière), Maelle (docteure en biologie) et Loubna (artiste) et ensemble nous avons repris une ancienne ferme au sud de l’Aveyron entre les collines, les prés et les forêts et nous cherchons à en faire un havre de paix écologique.

    C'est un lieu de tranquillité et de partage, animé en grande partie une association pour la protection de la nature, la cohabitation et le bien-être des individus.
    Ici on fait pousser nos fruits, légumes et herbes médicinales, on collecte l’eau de pluie et on utilise des toilettes sèches, on cohabite avec les animaux et les écosystèmes.

    BIEN ETRE ANIMAL : Les animaux font partit du collectif, nous prenons soin d’eux comme nous prenons soin de nous même. Aujourd’hui l'endroit abrite cinq chevaux, deux chèvres, trois chiens, un chat et une dizaine de poules.

    POTAGER : 900m2 pour faire pousser ce qui nous nourrit, travailler la terre en la respectant et en se rapprochant le plus possible de la permaculture. Suivant les périodes de l’année, nous avons beaucoup de légumes à transformer pour les conserver !
