To enable young people to the MFR of the Bagotière to better understand and promote group cohesion, responsible for their class organized in September, a day of integration very original.

In partnership with the Association The Caravans of Switzerland located in the Norman-Moutiers in Cinglais ( www.location-roulottes.eu ), which works to promote the coupling of leisure and work in horse-drawn, young people go hiking by bus Horse of 23 seats. The entertainment began with a presentation of their activities, intervention on "The tension mounted in the modern world", then the groom and tack for the coupling of the two horses.
The ballad was moderated by Tiphaine Nugue, an employee of the Association, a former student at the BAC PRO CGEA LIM Vimoutiers.

Young were then placed in the horse-drawn bus, very impressed by the height of cob Oscar Norman and Breton Quellestbelle line.
The walk continued in a good mood in the villages of Moutiers and Grimbosq.

the rhythm of the horse, the youth were able to admire the scenery, enjoy the serenity and discover the time of a ballad, an original means of transport.

It was for the whole group an unforgettable experience and a good way to start the school year in good spirits.

Young CAPA in rural services do their internships in the areas of service (Nursery, retirement home ...) and sale (bakery, supermarket, etc..).

Can I Use Baby Shampoo When I Am Pregnant

Organic Certification

Why did you choose to be certified organic, despite the constraints?

Being certified organic is not an easy choice. Due to the location where we are, the certification was not necessary. Many gardeners in direct sales have a relationship of trust with their customers and we could grow "as organic," without imposing the straightjacket of certification.

It is of course not use synthetic pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers, and this is part of the core beliefs that have led us to choose this mode of culture. If the organic stop these simple principles, perhaps to benefit producers of "reasoned" leap (though ... a little weeding from time to time, it reassures ...).

But in addition to the scope of the certification, you should know that one can buy only organic seeds (or not treated if they are not available in organic) that are much more expensive than conventional seed. It also means that we can not retrieve the seeds of a grandpa uncertified, and therefore, fills in history, many old varieties are not used in bio because not available.

So why engage in bio?

Certification is for us a true recognition of our commitment to our future customers. Today, agriculture "rational" is very fashionable and producers would claiming to hide everything and anything going on "almost organic" we respect very much, even those who consider that reason their products, because "given the price it costs, we will not squander , we simply put the right dose, it is not stupid anyway! " So it's true that we could just trust our customers but for us it is a guarantee that we will be able to provide, which will also help justify the price a bit higher that in conventional. The second reason is financial (some would say "they are deceitful these farmers!"). Being in organic, we can benefit from additional state aid (in addition to aid installation), that is to say access to a scale a little higher subsidies and tax deductions. But do not worry, we are very far from CAP subsidies of grain!

The choice of certifier and the exemption reduction of conversion time

The organic certification can be done with several awarding bodies. Is the main certifier Ecocert. We estimated it was more interesting to work with Agrocert, for one simple reason: the price of membership for the first year.

On a normal year, the rates are roughly equivalent (and even slightly lower for Ecocert). However, as a host of other procedures that we discuss later, the timing of our facility falls very ill.

To be certified organic, it generally takes two years to go through conversion. Under certain conditions, it is still possible to benefit a waiver to be directly certified organic. The land that we cultivate not worked for a number of years and few sheep graze there. So we return to the conditions for exemption.

view plots still grazing

To qualify for this exemption, we must commit ourselves to perform any operation on land, and await the passage of a controller to establish the fact. We So committed to the month of July. In Ecocert, the levy was payable on the whole year, then qu'Agrocert us pay in proportion to months of employment.

How does the certification?

We first received an estimate, together with commitment papers, regulatory texts and a table identifying the parcels to be converted. From the moment the certifier receives our commitment, the controller must pass within a month. Otherwise, it is possible to start work the fields, leaving a grass strip and taking photographs in evidence.

We then received our certificate of commitment and we have notified our activity with the Agence Bio.

In early August, the controller is passed to implement the first visit and issued a positive opinion about our claim. Our request is then passed in committee, and we still await the answer ...

Thanks to those who had the courage to read this message until the end ... hoping it will have been more instructive than just annoying. To improve the quality of this blog, please send us your advice or criticism.

We still have many issues to address, more photos are coming, but you'll understand that time is running out ...

The installation steps (continued)

April-June: the purchase of tunnels

As you have already read, we have already made our first investment, namely the acquisition of five tunnels in cold we divide two, to make it ten. These are brand tunnels Richel 30 9 m wide and nearly 4 m high (above 4 m, we would have needed a building permit). Of the five greenhouses, two of them have side vents with automatic opening and the other three are no openings.

We took advantage of a liquidation of a market gardener in the nearby town in order to acquire this equipment very good and almost new, the price of the occasion. However, history has proved a little preposterous:

In a liquidation, the liquidator must first publish a tender with a deadline. All Interested persons submit an offer and a deposit check. Beforehand, the lot is estimated (by € 20 000) and the liquidator has set a threshold below that reserve price, which remains confidential. If no bids reaches the threshold of reserves, the liquidator recontacted all bidders to drive up bids, and if still not enough, the lot by auction. In the latter case, the liquidator takes a commission on the sale.

The procedure was actually much more curvy! Between the supply is never found in the official newspapers, a sub-division lot for which he was eventually buy all of the supposed bidders who finally did not exist (or how to raise the stakes ...), a mysterious bidder who appeared at the last moment with an offer higher than ours, but for half of the lot (price of new!), a judge had to decide between the two, and which ultimately had only received our offer ... and the secretary with whom one was related to the last moment that no longer works in the office of liquidator! A true story of crazy!

But ultimately, we are owners of greenhouses. Initially we were supposed to have within three weeks to dismantle them, but, on balance, we have no time ... Apart from the start of our business! Fortunately, because there's plenty to do ... end of June: the course 21 hours

These three training days are run by a wine from the Medoc twenty years. Most participants are often wine future (and yes, it is the region!). However, during this assignment, many of us to establish ourselves in gardening.

We toured the situation of each, discussed the various problems we might encounter (neighborhood disputes, family, distribution of tasks, access to land, marketing ,...). We repeated the point about the installation process and the assistance for which we were entitled. Several MSA representatives came to their institution and demonization we explain our rights and duties. We also met with young installed and old alike, about the difficulties encountered during installation, and the differences between what we present to the Chamber of Agriculture and the reality of the installation.

This was especially the opportunity to meet future colleagues and discuss the different situations of each other. Three days quite nice in the end.

July: Young Farmer diagnosis

Before the completion of the installation folder, it is possible to realize a project with diagnosis of ARDA (Association for Agricultural Development and Rural) to go around everything you need to take into account to complete the project.

We have not done a real diagnosis, lack of time, but it allowed us to clarify some points where we could not find an answer, and raise other questions, which we don ' had not necessarily thought of. We discussed among other things: the status of the company to create, the contribution of capital, project financing, the cost of creating the society, issues of land tenure (lease, rent, relevant dates, inventory) and accounting requirements.

July: soil tests

To learn more about the land that we cultivate and reasoning to make fertilizer, it is essential to perform soil analysis (who is for agronomists), because our vegetables grow well in the ground, and not in the rockwool. Cheers Bio!

For reasons of cost (over 100 € analysis!), And despite the heterogeneity of our plots, we conducted two tests. Beforehand, we had made numerous levy on all plots to get an idea of the diversity of our soil, to make a first visual analysis of their condition and decide to analyze priority parcels. We have had confirmation that the soils were very sandy and we could see that some soils were very poor in organic matter (one of the parcels was more like a sandbox as a soil Grassed gardener).

What has been measured in the laboratory analysis?

The pH, organic matter content, lime, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, calcium, sodium, cation exchange capacity (ability of soil to determine the components nutrients), the rate of trace elements (copper, zinc, manganese, iron), the particle size (percentage of clay, silt and sand).

In conclusion, we suspected, we will have to make very large volumes of manure and other amendments.

continued: Organic certification (with photos of plots), the realization of the Economic Development Plan, the baptism of tillage (with photo), the supply of manure, handling equipment ... and dismantling greenhouses (always open to good will).
