«A wake-up call»

We are a family and following the complete remission of Michel’s liver cancer (end-state) by natural/alternative means, our perception of the world and life itself has changed. No longer bearing to see ourselves participating (unconsciously for sure) in the destruction of our planet and its beautiful nature from our vantage point of illusory comfort of over-consumption, we decided to give up everything and regroup in the region of Aveyron, to live a life more in keeping with our freshly gained awareness.

Being artists, musicians, singers, painters, wood – and earth workers, cooks, and also sensitive to alternative wellness and health practices, we wanted to find a place where we could bring together all of our interests and passions in order to feel fully alive and at the service of our fellow human beings. 

« From Burgundy to Aveyron »

And so we landed in a small hamlet in the area of Prévinquières, right in the heart of Aveyron.  We bought a part of a farmhouse with 5000m2 of land to re-purpose for permaculture and to offer – on site and locally at first – organic fruit and vegetable baskets as well as other products that the farm and our cooking talents allow us to manufacture with love. It is also made up of a dwelling house and two barns all of which need renovation in order to develop our project.

We took on the challenge to revive this hamlet by connecting with its inhabitants, bringing along our enthusiasm, joie de vivre and support and by creating a welcoming place where the doors are always open and the mission is to celebrate life, nature and humanity. 

This is how our project “EnPleineTerre” (~On open ground) was born.

The Farm consists of a dwelling house, three outbuildings and a wood-burning oven (completely ruined at present).

Everything needs renovation for our project to be developed. We decided to start with the main house so as to have a solid basis to start from.

It is a true challenge and we are overjoyed to “revitalize” a place which doesn’t deserve to be abandoned!

AND YOU IN ALL THIS?

« A getaway for everyone »

As you may have guessed, we wiObviously pledges can be made without collecting a reward, but to show our gratitude, we thought of a few things to make the pledges more enticing and to repay the favour in person.sh for this place to become a getaway for everyone, a small corner of paradise where to regenerate, to relax, be active or idle, simply to be alive.

We plan to offer a large selection of conferences, small concerts, workshops and our own production of fruits, vegetables and other handcrafted products. Besides nourishing the farm and its visitors (you), we will be offering fruit and veggie baskets or the possibility to come and pick it yourself for those living close by, if the seasons are plenty!

What is this fundraiser for?

We hereby make an appeal to all those who are touched or affected by our initiative.

This fundraiser is a glimpse of hope, to be able to collect a high enough portion to consider the purchase of the second part of the farm, as well as the renovation of the place in general, in order to establish the «EnPleineTerre» project.

We are aware that a considerable sum is needed, which is why we have subdivided our end goal into tiers, so as to be able to collect the sum of the first, second or third tier even if the end goal should not been reached. Because for the sake of this life-project, we will need your help, as small as it may be, more than ever, no matter what.
