Benjamin and Angéline Pausé are farmers in the Salazie cirque. In a lush garden at Mare à Veille Place, where nature flourishes over 3000 m². Angie & Benji lovingly grow a wide variety of exotic produce. Cassava, turmeric, corn, ginger... A whole range of flavors!
My business is the land: I grow fruit and vegetables. We don't need to produce large quantities. We come from a family that lived off the land. The land is a wonderful thing. When you can recover, pick and harvest what you've grown yourself, it's extraordinary. Especially with natural agriculture.
We don't weed with chemicals, we do everything by hand, and if it's really too overgrown, we use a brush cutter. All the weeds we leave become manure, like a mattress for the soil. The soil needs protection, and so do the insects.
We do everything naturally, just as our grandfather and father did.
It's now been at least four years since we obtained the National Park Spirit.
