MICROFERME COCAGNE DE GOHELLE

The microfarm has several purposes: - To respond to the need to feed oneself, to make society aware of the food issue and to accompany the eater in this process by providing knowledge in agronomy and services associated with food; - Bringing agronomic expertise to the city and allowing its actors to enter; - To offer new opportunities of activities to people far from employment on new and promising niches; - To embody a new inclusive economic model (of all types of economic actors, all types of public, all types of purposes) directly related to the food fact. The main function of the Cocagne de Gohelle micro-farm is to cultivate urban spaces in organic agriculture. To do this, our farm has the idea of a "Nourishing Archipelago", made up of small cultivation areas serving the same project: to produce locally, while promoting biodiversity and the development of recreational activities. The productions of the micro-farm are mainly focused on ultra-fresh or transport-sensitive vegetables and fruits, which are linked to the crops of local AB farmers who supply open-field vegetables. All these productions are gathered by the micro-farm and distributed under the brand " Terre de Gohelle ", in the form of subscriptions to baskets or on our " Small markets ". Support to organic producers.
