La Ferme Alcaline
Apiculture Paysanne in Viala-du-Tarn, we transform the products of the hive!
We keep a small herd of hardy bees, where people adapt to the rhythm of the colonies.
We harvest the honey with which we make gingerbread by the slice, using the traditional "mother dough" method, which requires long weeks of maceration before baking. This patient process gives our gingerbread its rich aromas and exceptional melt-in-the-mouth texture!
We harvest and process propolis, and recycle wax from our colonies.
We make soaps and balms with products of the hive. These cosmetics are made with ingredients that are 90% direct from producers or artisans, selected for their sustainable production and proximity. They are food-grade (except for caustic soda and clay), and are certified organic where relevant. The aim is to offer a simple, innovative cosmetic solution based on permacultural principles: a product with no impact on water and soil; made with simple, local, bonding raw materials; using a light production method that can be reproduced by all.
