Description

Hello! We're setting up a permaculture micro-farm that will also be a place to relax and explore subjects close to our hearts, such as O-waste living, 100% plant-based cooking, low tech and ethical computing or well-being through movement. We have a small flock of animals who actively contribute to the ecosystem: two sheep, two pigs, some chickens and a cat.

We're still in the process of setting up the farm and are doing everything by hand or on foot (or almost!), to cause as little damage as possible, so we're moving slowly and the land remains "au naturel" in some corners, which for us is what gives it its charm.

We also rent out a lovely wooden teadrop caravan on the grounds if you don't want to or can't take a tent! You'll find it here:

The setting

You'll enjoy the green countryside and the discreet presence of our animals, while remaining close to the sea - we're only 10 minutes (by car) from the ocean. Beautiful family beaches are to the south and wild surf beaches, including La Torche, to the southeast. We're also close to the market towns of Plomeur and Pont l'Abbé, and the nearest supermarkets are a 5-minute bike ride away.

The spots

We want to preserve our guests' privacy, so we limit the number of pitches.

We have four pitches for tents. For your comfort, we have put a coconut sheet on each pitch.

We have two spaces for caravans/convertible vehicles. For tents, we'll show you several locations with wooded options for the more adventurous. You can choose what suits you best.

The sanitary facilities

24-hour access to:
Dry toilets x 2
Sink with running water
Outdoor solar shower

The amenities

Amenities include:
- Different shower options: 1 x 20L solar shower in a small corner set up for showering in the bamboos. We've created a bamboo screen but it's not completely blackout - bring your swimwear anyway! :) There are also 2 hoses with shower guns that heat up when put in the sun.

Please use natural shower products such as Marseille or Aleppo soap, as the showers are in the garden.

- Kitchen: simple kitchenette area, with sink, kettle, hotplate and Kelly Kettle. If you want to keep your food in a cool place, we can lend you a "desert fridge" which uses the evaporation of water to generate a cooling effect (at around 15 degrees...won't be able to keep your ice creams! :) )
- A small manual washing machine (if required, we can also provide our automatic washing machine and detergent for 2 EUR)
- Breton shuffleboard and Molky
- Electricity in the garden shed to recharge appliances (we're Enercoop customers)
- Surfboards and wetsuits available for hire
- Bicycle rental and a bike trailer for children or your shopping possible

If you've forgotten your books, we can lend you classic novels as well as books on permaculture, veganism, ecology and many other subjects (in French and English).

The activities

There are numerous hiking trails, chapels and a wide choice of beaches to explore nearby. We'll be happy to advise you if you have any questions.

If you're interested in yoga, you can join one of our on-site yoga sessions for a free contribution. I am certified to teach yoga.


We can organize workshops on request for those of you interested in permaculture, veganism, wasteful living and ethical computing. Contact us before you arrive to discuss your interests and expectations for a tailor-made workshop.

If you would like a massage, please contact us in advance with the type of massage you would like. You can cancel a massage more than 24 hours in advance. Alternatively, we can recommend a masseuse in Pont l'Abbé.

In summer, local markets and events are numerous and festive, so ask us for information if you'd like to explore them.

You're welcome to spend some time relaxing on the farm with the animals. The two kune kune pigs particularly enjoy having their bellies rubbed.

Other things

We moved to this farm a few months ago, and with all the hard work and love we put into it every day, the land is still relatively wild! We still wanted to share our corner of South Finistère with other campers during the summer months.

Rules

We ask you to be aware of litter as we try as much as possible to live plastic-free and cleaning the farm takes up a lot of our time. Please do not smoke while on the farm. The golden rule is always to leave the place as you found it.

We are vegan and would be delighted to let you explore (or share if you are too) our favorite recipes if you wish. We respect everyone's personal choice, but please do not barbecue meats on our grounds.

Animals have their own needs and desires; some of our pets are wary of humans, others are very fond of cuddles. If you'd like to meet them, please let us know beforehand, so as not to upset them. We make sure they receive proper nutrition, so please don't feed them. Children must not enter the animal enclosure without adult supervision. If you think your furry friend might attack our chickens or baby pigs, please keep it under your supervision.
Some of our animals are runaways (or curious about the neighborhood), so please always close the wooden gate on entering and leaving the grounds.

If anything is new, we are here to answer your questions and ensure your comfort as much as possible.

Extras

Possibility of breakfast (€9 / person)

Our breakfast menu changes fairly regularly but we can offer a variety of vegan options such as oatmeal, seasonal fruit, toast with homemade butter, jam, peanut butter. All the products we use are organic.

Beverages include homemade kefir, herbal teas from the garden or even coffee alternatives such as chicory, barley or small spelt.

If you'd like to discover vegan cuisine, we can organize a lunch/dinner for you at 12 EUR per person.

  • Warm welcome, pleasant tree-lined site, great shared facilities.

  • A little corner of paradise for nature lovers: lots of space, a small forest, top-notch pets. Thanks to Pierre and Katy for sharing this place with us!

  • We recommend it without hesitation! A quiet, rejuvenating spot far from the urban hustle and bustle, a warm welcome and delicious breakfasts... Not only was our vacation at Katie and Vaughan's punctuated by enriching discussions and constructive exchanges, we were also ideally located for visiting the region (and petting Arsène and Lupin). Between the beaches, the markets and the restaurants (judiciously recommended by our hosts), we had an excellent stay.
    Thank you for your advice and communicative energy. We'll be back to visit you with great pleasure.

  • We were looking for a quiet place to practice a week of fasting and we found this proximity to nature with a soothing and resourcing setting. The encounter with this place also allowed us to discover people in transition, committed, bearers of values and meaning, in short hosts who not only understood that the ecological transition could not wait but much more, a transition that they translate into concrete actions by pushing the concrete utopia to transmit their knowledge through training courses that should see the light of day very soon.
    Long life to this beautiful project of ecological farm and do not hesitate to make a detour to recharge your batteries.

  • Katie was absent but her husband Won received me very warmly. A beautiful place still a bit uncultivated (but which will probably have changed a lot by next summer).

  • Katie, thank you for your welcome. For me it's normal to respect the place where you are staying. That's how you find nice places and nice people.

  • Katie being absent, it is Won, her companion who welcomed me with a lot of kindness.
    I pitched my tent in the small wood, on a site that is both natural and comfortable (soft coconut mat under the tent!!!)
    This home camping is very well located.
    I especially enjoyed the discussions with Won and the choices Katie and Won made. I can't wait for their internship place to be finished so I can come and learn about smart ecology in everyday life.
    Thank you so much for this stay!

  • Great week in a quiet and relaxing area. Ecological, practical and pleasant facilities. We were more than welcomed and advised on the region and its surroundings! Moreover the location is ideal because close to shops, beaches and hiking. We would love to go back to check on all the animals!
    Thanks to you !

  • We had a great experience, thank you Katie. We will not hesitate to come back if the opportunity arises. The welcome was very warm and we were seduced by the ambitious and meaningful project. Bravo, nice job to you both!

  • We had an absolutely fabulous stay. Everything was incredible: incredibly kind hosts, who generously share their inspiring ecological lifestyle, adorable animals, a beautiful place, full of magic, magical places under the trees, and a magnificent permaculture-herbalism-yoga project that we can only dream of taking part in. I must say that the place is a real paradise for children, my son loved it :) Special mention to the delicious vegan breakfast!

  • We had an idyllic stay with Katie and her husband who welcomed the three of us to their beautiful grounds. We pitched our tent in a secluded spot under the trees, quiet and shady. The dry toilets, the kitchen area, the solar shower, and of course the delicious company of the little pigs Arsène and Lupin, everything was perfect! We also enjoyed a homemade vegan breakfast that was absolutely royal. Thanks for everything and see you soon I hope!

  • We were just passing through for a night! We can only recommend their campsite. The pitches are insulated with coconut fibre, dry toilets, solar showers...everything is there...the discussions around their project are very enriching. we will return...

  • One place, with solar shower and dry toilet.
    Friendly and welcoming hosts.

  • Hello
    If you like adventure, you have to come here!
    Even more so if you have children. We slept under the stars for the first time because we are in the forest or wild grass in complete safety. Very nice experience that can be nice with little ones. In search of Robin Hood. But of course it is possible to pitch the tent.
    Very pleasant and benevolent welcome.
    Kitchenette at disposal, very practical.
    On the other hand, the ground is rough and dented, which is very good but not easy to access for handicapped people, but that's what makes its charm.

  • Very nice welcome, place conforms to the description and that's what made us choose it! With our small caravan and our two small tents we were well installed with many conveniences. The kids loved it, we will come back I hope! We hope to come back! Thank you!

  • Katie and her partner were very welcoming and did everything they could to make sure we had everything we needed: they offered us several places for our tent, recommended us lots of nice things to do in the area, it was very nice!
    Their farm is a warm and meaningful place that makes you want to stay longer to see their little pigs grow up ! :)
    We strongly recommend, without hesitation!

  • Katie and her husband were wonderful and generous hosts. They are starting an inspiring project on their property which is a short drive from the Torch but also close to lots of shopping - I found this very convenient. The farmhouse they are renovating is a beautiful stone house. Katie was kind enough to give me a last minute yoga session when I told her my back was tight after surfing, it was very relaxing. I even tasted the vegan meal they prepared in the evening and am thinking of making some changes to my diet! The terrain is still wild with lots of trees and spaces to explore. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxed stay in the Pays Bigouden!
