Presentation :
Hello and welcome to Buissonnière Scotland, there are 6 of us permanent staff including 3 children.
We are on an estate of 7 hectares of land and create our autonomy on a daily basis, everything we produce on the estate is for our personal use.
As we are in a region described as "desert soil", we use traditional Sologne methods to reconstitute living and fertile soil, over several years.
We grow in difficult conditions for vegetables.
It's very physical!
For 10% of picking time, there is 90% of the time spent organizing and building the structures, that is to say spreading cow manure for example, to prepare the soil, in addition to the input of materials which will constitute the 'humus.
We learn and we suggest that you do and learn together to create abundance in an inhospitable environment.
We are starting to raise our first Ouessant sheep. This year we had 6 babies, which gives us a total of 11 sheep. We also have 9 Indian runner ducks who are helpful helpers in the vegetable garden.
We have an association through which we offer vegetable gardening workshops, nature and artistic workshops and we organize an annual party.
At home, everyone eats according to their beliefs, their diet or their health, often around pitchers of tea or herbal teas, because that's where we exchange our ideas.
It is therefore with pleasure that we invite you to learn and build with us and to contribute your ideas and your desire.
Bonjour et bienvenue dans l'Ecosse Buissonnière, nous sommes 6 permanents dont 3 enfants.
Nous somme sur un domaine de 7 hectare de terrain et créons notre autonomie au quotidien, tout ce que nous produisons sur le domaine est pour notre usage personnelle.
Comme nous sommes dans une région qualifiée " sol désertique", nous utilisons des méthodes traditionnelles solognotes pour reconstituer un sol vivant et fertile, sur plusieurs années.
Nous cultivons dans des conditions difficiles pour les légumes.
C'est très physique!
Pour 10% de temps de cueillette, il y a 90% du temps passé à organiser et construire les structures, c'est à dire épandre du fumier de vaches par exemple, pour préparer le sol, en plus des apports en matériaux qui constitueront l'humus.
Nous apprenons et nous vous proposons de faire et d'apprendre ensemble à créer l'abondance dans un milieu inhospitalier .
Nous débutons dans l'élevage de nos premières brebis de race Ouessant . Cette année nous avons eu 6 bébés , ce qui nous fait un total de 11 brebis. Nous avons également 9 canards coureurs indien qui sont des aident précieuses au potager.
Nous avons une association au travers de laquelle nous proposons des ateliers potager , des ateliers nature et artistiques et nous organisons une fête annuelle.
Chez nous, chacun mange selon sa conviction, son régime ou sa santé, souvent autour de pichets de thé ou de tisanes, parce que c'est là qu'on échange nos idées.
C'est donc avec plaisir que nous vous proposons d'apprendre et de construire avec nous et d'apporter vos idées et votre envie.
