Presentation

"Vegetable gardens, aromatic mandala, recreational lawn, forest garden and farm animals, come and stroll through our permaculture gardens ! We grow them for the needs of our restaurants but also for the pleasure of sharing our passion for life with you."

Bill Mollison, one of the founders of Permaculture said that "it is our responsibility to future generations not to leave behind a barren field".
It is with this same philosophy that the Eco-Domaine produces its fruit and vegetables on the micro-farm. "By cultivating with Nature, and not against it, it is a real pleasure to see our vegetables go from the vegetable garden to our restaurant plates, in a single stroke of the pruning shears. Fork-to-fork cooking is good for the taste and for the planet.
Mulching the vegetables with hay from the farm, nourishing the soil with diversified organic matter, leaving a place for the garden's auxiliary insects, this is the secret to being autonomous and making the Earth a garden of abundance in cooperation with Nature" explains Mathieu the gardener.

The vegetable gardens are open all year round and you will surely come across the team of permaculturists who will be happy to describe to you the many combinations of vegetables and their cultivation techniques.
And if you want to go further, take part in the workshops and courses offered throughout the year.

What happens on the farm ?

The team of permaculturists tries to develop their autonomy (food, energy, water) and designs the landscape of the gardens in a perspective of resilience in the face of climate change and according to the principles of permaculture.
The experimental dimension is very strong, particularly in the following areas
- Market gardening and living soil gardening
- Eco-construction ;
- Forest-gardening;
- Ecology of natural environments;
- Management of animals in dynamic rotational grazing;
- Viticulture on living soil and agroforestry.

Throughout the year you can participate in guided tours, children and/or adult workshops such as
- Discovering permaculture
- Use of wild plants
- Nature cycle for children
- Pruning fruit trees
- Successful sowing
- Growing mushrooms

More specific training courses are also offered on the following themes
- 2-day introductory course in permaculture
- 3-day course on the permaculture vegetable garden
- 2 week Permaculture Design Course
