About this location

We welcome you to our agroecological micro-farm, a place for sharing knowledge in ecoconstruction, permaculture, self-sufficiency and low tech. We eat what we grow, we have built our home with straw bales and earth, and we produce our own solar electricity.

7000 m2 of meadow surrounded by old oaks and willows, with a pond, a large vegetable garden, a greenhouse, a chicken coop, an orchard, beehives...

Activities
The green path along the Oyon connecting Guipry-Messac to Ploermel is 2 km away, it joins the Nantes to Brest canal and the Vélodyssée. A cooperative bar-concert-grocery-restaurant is 6 kilometers away, the megalithic site of Monteneuf and the forest of Brocéliande are nearby. Everything is doable by bicycle.

Other remarks
We regularly welcome trainees during learning weekends for building low tech objects.

Perfect for...

For lovers of permaculture, cycling and low-tech technologies

Former long-distance journalist-navigators, we now live in Porcaro in Morbihan where we are restoring a micro-farm with a wooden frame/straw bale structure and cultivating a large food-producing vegetable garden. We manufacture "low tech" objects and offer various courses and workshops to learn how to make the instruments of your autonomy with your own hands. We welcome you to our micro-farm on a campsite or in a trailer. And we take our turn from time to time for bike rides. We like to camp with locals, in places where nature is preserved, while favoring meeting people.

  • The Champ Commun cooperative bar-concert venue is 7 kilometers away (pay-what-you-want concerts every weekend)
