Producer of organic and reproducible seeds

Our mission: to offer you seeds that grow, reproduce, and make your garden more vibrant year after year!

❝ Our job as an artisanal seed grower is to offer you organic and reproducible seeds while respecting nature. Growing with us means choosing biodiversity and autonomy. ❞

TRADITIONAL KNOW-HOW

At the Farm, we take care of everything!
Seed maintenance, production, propagation, sorting, germination, conservation, bagging, and distribution—we manage every step to master everything from A to Z. Today, we're proud to have over 1,000 organic seed varieties in our catalog, nearly two-thirds of which are produced in-house. More diversity, more choice, for ever-more vibrant gardens!

OUR SEED PRODUCTION STAGES

STEP 1: GROWING SEED PLANTS

Seed production is an art form! It begins with flowering, bolting, and harvesting when the seeds are fully ripe. For some crops, such as melons or tomatoes, harvesting is done when the fruit is fully ripe. For others, such as carrots or chicory, you have to wait an additional year. Seed production requires finesse, isolation, and harvesting at peak maturity to ensure perfect germination and impeccable purity.

STEP 2: HARVEST AND EXTRACTION

Everything is harvested by hand , and each species has its own extraction method: for tomatoes or eggplants, it's wet, and for leafy or root vegetables like carrots, it's dry! Tomatoes are a real chef's job! After fermenting for 24 to 72 hours in basins, they are trampled underfoot to separate the seeds from the pulp and skin. The heavy seeds sink to the bottom, while the light ones float and go with the waste. Root or leafy vegetables, on the other hand, are beaten or trampled to extract the seeds. A true artisanal job!

STEP 3: DRYING

Drying seeds is a bit like a well-deserved nap for them! It's a super important step to maintain their germination power over the long term. So, we place them on shelves and use fans to dry the seeds quickly, but gently, thanks to good air circulation. And for even more precision, we have three drying cabinets with fine-mesh drawers. They are equipped with a ventilation system that draws in air and distributes it evenly throughout the drawers, thus guaranteeing perfect and smooth drying for each seed.

STEP 4: SORTING AND CLEANING

For top-quality seeds, you have to be meticulous! We start by pre-cleaning our batches with large sieves to separate the seeds from the waste. Then, we use a series of highly efficient machines, such as cleaner-separators, air columns, densimetric tables, and even optical sorters, for ultra-precise sorting according to weight, density, shape, and color. Each machine is cleaned between each batch to avoid any contamination. And of course, a final purity and germination test to guarantee the final quality!

STEP 5: BAGGING THE SEEDS

The final step before sending you our seeds is meticulous work carried out throughout the year by our teams and in collaboration with several ESATs. Each bag is carefully labeled with its batch number, weight, and information for sowing like a pro! We pay careful attention to the quantity of seeds, the quality of the closure, and the details to guarantee a perfect bag, from the farm to your garden.

WE MEASURE THE PERFORMANCE OF OUR SEEDS

We carry out germination tests, conducted by an independent laboratory after the sorting stage: LABOSEM , located a few kilometers from the Farm. The seeds must have a specific purity (without waste, plant debris, weed seeds or other species) and a sufficient varietal rate (the rates depend on the species, generally from 95% to 98%). This is guaranteed by the isolation of the crops, conservative selection in the field and sorting of the harvested seeds.

The germination test must be supplemented by analyzing the specific purity of the harvested batch and checking the varietal purity in the field from which the seeds were extracted. Germination quality is then checked regularly throughout the process, from storage to marketing of the batch.

REPRODUCIBLE SEEDS: GROW, HARVEST AND REPLANT...

A "population variety," sometimes called a "peasant seed" or "royalty-free" variety, offers genetic diversity despite apparent similarity: not all individuals are identical, but they remain faithful to the specific characteristics of the variety. This diversity can allow for better adaptability to the environment or the needs of the grower.

The population variety has the advantage of being reproducible as is : the seeds can be harvested and re-sown the following year, the offspring will be similar to the parents. Conversely, if we sow the seeds harvested from hybrid varieties (F1), themselves resulting from the crossing of two pure lines, we obtain heterogeneous offspring and often different from the first generation. The beneficial effect of crossing which adds the qualities of the two parents is therefore only present in the first generation with a population of identical individuals, but no longer at all in the following generations. The grower must therefore buy new seeds each year and is therefore dependent on the market.

Reproducing seeds is a priceless freedom because it allows for the maintenance of diversity. This is why we produce varieties that are reproducible identically and therefore royalty-free.

ZOOM ON OUR SEED BAGS

In 2025, our bags are getting a makeover with a touch of authenticity and nature , for a reflection faithful to our values: an old typography, a photo with a retro filter, a paper texture and a unique varietal illustration.
All our bags have a *Best Before Date but this date, which is not mandatory, is in no way a DLC (Use By Date), as in food. Indeed, after this date the seeds retain their germination power . It allows us to monitor quality, committing us to recheck the germinations regularly and to withdraw them from sale if the latter is below the required standard. If the date affixed to your bag of seeds is exceeded, don't worry, you can sow them, we assure you of good harvests.
