Le goût des choses

For the past three years, Pierre-Gilles and Antoine have been growing their vegetables entirely naturally. It’s a daily challenge that only resilience can overcome. 

SYNOPSIS

For the past three years, Pierre-Gilles and Antoine have been farming the land at Praz Bonjour, growing vegetables using entirely natural methods. It’s no easy task, as they face daily challenges: shifting weather, pests, diseases… not to mention the heavy financial pressure. The year 2023 began with yet another obstacle: major construction work on the road running alongside their farm, making access to the crops more difficult. On top of that, they have to coexist with construction workers and endure the noise.
