A pampered land, the iodized air and constant attention make our products so good! and ORGANIC
A living land and
in good health
In our market gardens, we grow vegetables, fruits, aromatic plants and flowers organically. Our production method is inspired by techniques such as permaculture, market gardening on living soil or even agroforestry, but above all, it is done with common sense, patience all based on ancestral heritage!
To guarantee healthy and abundant harvests, we manage the life of the soil so that it is draining, loose and rich in humus. It is to achieve this balance between the elements that our ancestors slowly transformed it thanks to alluvial deposits from the Rance towed on horseback.
manual work
It is this living soil that allows us to reconcile quality and productivity. Our work is precise, manual, which makes it possible to intensify our cultures as much as possible, which would not allow the use of machines.
It is to promote the life of the soil and improve its fertility that we work the land very little. It is quite natural that we turn to manual tools, help minimise soil disturbance, such as the grelinette, the claw or the market garden hoe.
Well thought out gardens
We have designed our gardens in permanent cultivation beds, all of the same width, in order to increase productivity and efficiency in our actions.
The objective is also not to compact the soil and to promote its porosity (and therefore the circulation of air and water) necessary for the proper development of micro fauna and micro flora, precious auxiliaries _cc781905-5cde-3194 -bb3b-136bad5cf58d_of culture!
A total of 40 gardens are spread over half a hectare of land.

Hervé, our market gardening expert
Charles : "Apres une brève expérience dans la production de visuel publicitaire, j'ai assez vite décidé de devenir acteur de la protection de notre environnement. Pour cela il me semblait évident d'entreprendre dans le milieu agricole et essentiel d'être en capacité d'assurer une production alimentaire locale de qualité. Mes parents et grands parents étaient aussi paysan.nes, horticulteurs du pays malouin et dolois, et je désire m'inscrire dans cet héritage.J'ai donc multiplié les expériences pendant 6 ans, dans plein de fermes différentes, me nourrissant des conseils et connaissances de tous ces paysan.nes. Et je me suis aussi formé pour être responsable d'exploitation maraîchère. C'est une véritable opportunité que nous avons avec Simon de pouvoir reprendre ensemble l'activité maraîchère des Jardins de la Matz."
« Au premier coup d'oeil, déjà, on peut voir que nous avons affaire à des légumes extra frais, naturels et qui ont été traités avec beaucoup d'attention. »

It's the season to eat it
The perfect time to plant them
Internship & seasonal contract
Permaculture is also a process of sharing knowledge and a desire to transmit it. This is why we regularly welcome trainees or seasonal workers wishing to learn, test themselves or improve their skills. Sowing, soil preparation, planting, crop and farm maintenance, harvesting, marketing... Our work in the fields is varied and changes with the seasons.
In summer of course, but also in spring and autumn, we welcome market gardeners on seasonal contracts or trainees who can also take advantage of the many opportunities in the region, between land and sea.
Don't hesitate to contact us now for next season!
