Description
Charles and Perrine Hervé-Gruyer's farm, Bec Hellouin, is a celebrated model of innovative, ecological agriculture in Europe. The couple's journey from creating a farm to sustain their family to experimenting with how to grow the most food possible in the most ecological way possible is a fascinating tale.
From their initial decision to start a new life in Normandy, where neither had farmed before, to their evolution into a renowned farm model, Bec Hellouin showcases the couple's journey towards creating a sustainable food system. The farm's diverse production, including a mix of permaculture, bio-intensive, four-season, and natural farming techniques, has garnered attention from national and international organizations addressing food security.
Today, Bec Hellouin Farm produces a variety of vegetables, raises animals for eggs and milk, and features a range of other facilities, including a welcome center, farm store, permaculture school, and artisan bread oven. This book tells the story of their remarkable journey and the principles behind their successful farm model.
