  Description

  🇬🇧 English
  We are an organic farm and a small farm-to-table restaurant, located at the foot of Cap Corse, between Saint-Florent and Oletta, just 10 minutes from the beaches and the famous wine route.
  Our 12-hectare farm is dotted with oak trees and centuries-old olive trees, vegetable gardens and orchards. We grow organic vegetables and fruits and produce our own certified organic olive oil.
  Our project is to create a lively and welcoming place where agriculture, cooking and culture come together. Life on the farm follows the rhythm of the seasons, the land and shared daily activities.
  We enjoy sharing our everyday life with curious, open-minded people who love nature, working outdoors and simple living. Days are a balance of gardening, cooking, shared meals and moments of exchange and conviviality.
  🇫🇷 Français
  Nous sommes une ferme biologique et un petit projet de restauration à la ferme, situés au pied du Cap Corse, entre Saint-Florent et Oletta, à seulement 10 minutes des plages et de la célèbre route des vins.
  Notre exploitation de 12 hectares est composée de chênes, d’oliviers centenaires, de potagers et de vergers. Nous cultivons des légumes et des fruits en agriculture biologique et produisons notre propre huile d’olive biologique certifiée.
  Notre projet est de créer un lieu vivant et accueillant, où l’agriculture, la cuisine et la culture se rencontrent. La vie à la ferme suit le rythme des saisons, de la terre et des activités partagées au quotidien.
  Nous aimons partager notre quotidien avec des personnes curieuses, ouvertes d’esprit, aimant la nature, le travail en extérieur et une vie simple. Les journées sont rythmées par le jardin, la cuisine, les repas partagés et des moments d’échange et de convivialité.
