The farm is committed to a form of farming that promotes biodiversity and care, and is AB-certified.
The purpose of this farming approach is to nurture both people (through food, community ties, and local areas) and the landscape, through the services provided by the livestock and the methods of production. Every action and decision is made consciously, humbly valuing natural resources.
The farm is the subject of a research and development program led by Marlène Vissac
