Description
After working for 15 years in the international trade of frorzen meat products and becoming increasingly more aware of the damage being caused to the planet and to man by human activities, I trained in organic market gardenning methods to become a farmer and I am constantly learning new permaculture techniques.
My little farm is located in France, Brittany, near The city of Vannes (56000)
My particular focus is on crops, trees, and our many animals: sheet "Landes de Bretagne", cow "armoricaine"
Après avoir travaillé 15 ans dans le négoce international de viandes congelées et une grosse prise de conscience des dégâts occasionnés à la planète et à l’homme par les activités humaines, j’ai fait une formation en maraîchage bio pour devenir agriculteur et je m'occupe actuellement d'une petite ferme située à Plaudren dans le Morbihan, à côté de Vannes (56000) en France, conduite en permaculture qui fait de l'accueil touristique en gîtes insolites et chambres d'hôtes. je fais donc du maraichage, de l'arboriculture, élevage de races anciennes et en voie de disparition : moutons "landes de bretagne" et vaches armoricaine.
