New Caledonia
Favourited 63 times
Hello,
My name is Eric. After travelled the world thanks to my job, I moved to New Caledonia 20 years ago.
In my proprety near the river in the middle of the low mountains, I built an ecologic farm.
My entire production is certified organic; ducks, pigs, bees, fruit trees, chicken and a permaculture garden.
I aspire to become one day self-sufficient. I am already autonomous energetically since the water comes from the river and from a local spring (drinkable water) and we got solar panels.
I am producing my own meat like charcuterie, sausages, pâtés, rotis, brochettes from the ducks, the pigs and the deers.
We have wild deers around so I am used to go hunting.
I want to share my passion for animals, nature, plants and produce fairly (to protect earth).
I used to meet different people through my old job and I want continue to exchange and meet people. It's really interesting and rewarding.

At this moment the realization of a babecue spot is in progress.
It will allow to meet, to dialogue, to play music and why not savor a Caledonian deer steak.
We also have to rehabilitate plot fences and ford crossings.
We are in the hot period and the beginnings of afternoon are dedicated to a nap at the edge of the river to rest and refresh.
