Hello we are Barbara and Siegfried, we come from Bavaria and we have lived here in the south of France since 2002.

In Germany Siegfried worked as a cabinet maker and Barbara as an agriculturalist.

In 1992, when we found this farm by chance, it was love at first sight. With the old charmed houses, the spring with lots of water, the proximity to the river with its nice pastures, the fantastic environment between the Cevennes and the Mediterranean it didn’t take longtook not for us to find a way to come here for ever. From the beginning the idea was organic farming where we could produce a part of our food joined with touristic-activity to give us and others the possibility to live a healthy life with lots of attractive activities in a nice surrounding. We also liked the idea to meet a lot of different kind of people in circumstances which helps to come together.

From the decision and the act to buy the farm in 1993 and to leave Germany and settle down in the south of France, we needed 10 years to organise to live and work in France.

Now, after 18 years of living in France, our 4 children (20, 18, 15 and 13 years) speak more French than German, we have beome used to the french system and we already feel less German than before, even when a kind of peculiarity always is a part of our lives (especially Siegfried and Barbara).

Now we run the “little” organic farm (at the moment hay and potatos). In the last years we already produced grains and some vegetables and we still have lots of different sorts of fruits, so I think we planed about 150 trees and bushes the last 14 years.

Since we bought the farm we have also rebuilt the houses (or not to say the walls, because 2 houses had just 4 walls and a roof) and all the “old” buildings and we tried to keep the traditional soul of the houses and to integrate the buildings in a good way to the area. We are also looking to create a healthy living clima in the houses by using natural and healthy material (chalk, wood etc.).
