Description

Hello! We are setting up a permaculture micro-farm that will also be a place to relax and explore topics that are important to us, such as living (phone number withheld) wastefully, 100% plant-based cooking, ethical computing or well-being through movement. We have a small group of animals that actively contribute to the ecosystem, two sheep, two pigs, chickens and a cat. We are 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 are moving slowly and the land remains "au naturel" in some corners, which for us is what makes it so charming.

We propose you to stay in an unusual room : our "teardrop" or Bouriquette . This is a mini wooden caravan of ecological and artisanal manufacture, designed by Maxime Morel. The caravan takes its name from its shape "teardrop" or "tear". It was born in the 30's in California, hence its neo-vintage design.

The caravan has a real double bed (140 x190), includes a picnic table, a water tank that can be used with a pump and the table to make a shower and electricity through its solar panels.

The setting

You can enjoy a green space in the countryside and the very discreet presence of our animals, while remaining close to the sea, we are 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 are also close to the towns of Plomeur and Pont l'Abbé, the first supermarkets are 5 minutes away by bike.

The spots

The caravan is located in front of a wood and a large enclosure where the animals live together. It contains a double bed (140 x 190),

The sanitary facilities

24 hour access to:
Dry toilets x 2
A sink with running water
Solar shower in the open air

Amenities include:
- Different shower options: 1 x 20L solar shower in a small corner set up for showering in the bamboos. We have created a bamboo screen but it is not completely blacked out - 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, since the showers are in the garden.

- Kitchen: simple kitchenette area, with a sink, a kettle, a hot plate and a Kelly Kettle. If you want to keep your food cool, we can lend you a "desert fridge" which uses the evaporation of water to generate a cooling effect (about 15 degrees...won't be able to keep your ice cream! :) )
- A small manual washing machine (if needed, we can also provide our automatic washing machine and laundry for 2 EUR)
- Breton shuffleboard and Molky
- Electricity in the garden shed to recharge appliances
- Surfboards and wetsuits for rent
- Bike rental and a bike trailer for children or your shopping possible

If you forgot your books, we can lend you classic novels but also books on permaculture, veganism, ecology and many other subjects (in French and English)

The activities

There are many hiking trails, chapels, and a wide variety of beaches to explore nearby. We will be happy to advise you if you have any questions.

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


We can organize workshops upon request for those of you interested in permaculture, veganism, wasteful living, ethical computing. Contact us before you arrive to discuss your interests and expectations for a custom 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 before the massage. Otherwise we can recommend a masseuse in Pont l'Abbé.

In summer, the local markets and events are numerous and festive, ask us for information if you want to explore them.

You are welcome to spend time relaxing on the farm with the animals. The two kune kune pigs especially enjoy being rubbed on their bellies.

Other things

We moved to this farm a few months ago and with all the 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 conscious of littering as we try to be as plastic free as possible and cleaning the farm is very time consuming. Please do not smoke while you are on the farm. The golden rule is always to leave the place as you found it.

We are vegan and would be happy to let you explore (or share if you are too) our favorite recipes if you wish. We respect everyone's personal choices but ask that you do not barbecue meat on our grounds.

Animals have their own needs and desires, some of our animals are wary of humans, others are very fond of hugs. If you would like to meet them, please let us know beforehand, so as not to upset them. We make sure they receive proper nutrition, so please do not feed them. Children should not enter the animal enclosure without adult supervision. If you think your furry friend might attack our chickens or baby pigs, please keep them under your supervision.
Some of our animals are runaways (or curious about the neighborhood), so please make sure to close the wooden gate every time you enter or leave the grounds.

If anything is new, we are here to answer your questions and make you as comfortable as possible. If this is your first time trying a dry toilet, there will be instructions in the cabin ;)!

Extras

Possibility of breakfast (€9 / person)

  • We had a dream stay in the haven of peace built by this adorable cosmopolitan couple. The caravan is the perfect cocoon for sleeping under the stars - it's absolutely magical! What's even more magical is the opportunity to meet our committed and conscientious hosts, who take pleasure in helping you discover their inspiring way of life. Special mention for the delicious vegan meals!

  • An unforgettable stay with Katie and Won. Easily accessible to pedestrians by bus from Quimper (the 56 B, stop at Ty Boutic, a 15-minute walk away). But far enough from the road to be quiet. But it's also a 20min walk to the Pont l'Abbé Biocoop for groceries. For cycling enthusiasts, Pointe de la Torche is 30-35min away, depending on the itinerary chosen. An ecolieu under construction, already boasting a number of attractive features: the pre-garden with Arsène and Lupin pigs and chickens, and the forest area is ideal for strolling and observing plants and birds. The teardrop is conveniently located (close to sanitary facilities, but not overlooked) and overlooks the orchard. Magnificent sunset from the teardrop every evening. Spacious, comfortable teardrop bed. The solar panel makes it easy to recharge small appliances. Sedentary teardrop: ideal for camping enthusiasts who want the security of the walls but the proximity of the sounds of nature and waking birds (and even a deer!). It's also very pleasant to eat outside in spring on the table facing the meadow orchard. Shower system heated by solar energy in a tank on the roof of the sanitary room (ideal temperature for me) and easy-to-use dry toilets with instructions for those who might be intimidated. No odors thanks to buckwheat hulls. Great things in the pipeline: the geodesic greenhouse, phytodepuration, herb garden, etc.... Katie and Won are bubbling over with curiosity, varied knowledge and a desire to pass on and exchange. Present while respecting their need for privacy, they are hosts I highly recommend. Special mention for the copious and varied breakfast, essentially local and homemade or with products from local producers. Interesting, positive and concrete discussions on how to make tomorrow's world more virtuous. I'll be happy to keep up to date with future events, in particular possible courses or conferences on herbalism or ethical digital technology.
