Crystelle Baillette has been growing organic vegetables since May 2016. After several years of city life and office work, she decided to change her career for a healthier life closer to her values. She and her family have set up their farm and their crops in Normandy 5 minutes away from Rugles and the splendid Risle Valley. Involved in the community-supported agriculture system, Crystelle also sells her vegetables directly from the farm. With some two hectares of farmed land including a 1,000 m² greenhouse, she can grow a wide range of vegetables all year round while respecting the earth and the soil’s natural cycle. Mulching and working by hand guarantee organic farming with no chemicals. Terre Ferme grows numerous vegetables including courgette, lettuce, radish, aubergine, many tomato varieties, carrots, etc. And more unusual vegetables are also sometimes grown like kale and Napa cabbage. Crystelle also gladly shares simple recipe ideas and cooking tips. The soups and coulis she carefully makes are a great success. The farm also produces strawberries in summer, lemon verbena and herbs. In her shop, you can also find a range of organic produce coming from other producers: Biocer flour, apple juice, lentils, honey and olive oil.
