Spreads - La ferme du Pouget

Highly inspired by permaculture, which we approach as a philosophy, we moved to Le Pouget to live there year-round in July 2018 and develop
an agrotourism project.

Since then, we've been growing chestnuts again, a historic crop in Lozère and right here in Le Pouget. We have also undertaken the restoration of several existing "terraces" or "faïsses" or "restanques" in the village to grow our own fruit and vegetables.

At the beginning of 2020, we were joined by some beautiful red hens, followed in spring by a small flock of sheep, who happily repopulate the hamlet and brighten up our daily lives.

The farming activity is part of a whole that combines self-produced food, the sale of agricultural products, and agrotourism.

Thomas and Sandrine produce vegetables which they process and sell locally in stores, as well as at home, in particular to the guests of the gîtes they offer for rent.

Spreads available: beet, coriander, basil, eggplant, nasturtium.

À la rencontre de...

Thomas Leleu and Sandrine Leleu Leconte live in the hamlet of Pouget, in the heart of the Cévennes National Park, in the commune of Pourcharesses.

They produce vegetables that they process and sell locally in stores, as well as at home, in particular to the tenants of the gîtes they offer for rent.

We have been in business for 3 years installed here all year round but we have been coming here for 35 years. Eand then à a moment givena desire to change my life. Eand then here isàwe arriveds here and we don't regret it! We feel the desire and the need to be part of a collective.

Chis kind of place calls for working together, the living together, and it is in this sense that we were interested to have made the request National park spirit. They help us to respect the traditions, to want to respect even more what is there, to value the territory as a whole.

Because what motivates us is indeed to preserve this place and make it live, but to make it live is to welcome people, it is not to live there all alone. There is no point in living there alone.
