Cagnolle flowers
The seeds in this flower pack come from Ferme de Cagnolle. Benoît is the founder of the farm, and produces all his crops using a living soil market gardening technique. These seeds come from plants grown without irrigation in soil enriched with organic matter and covered with a tarpaulin. Year after year, they become more resistant to drought. In your vegetable garden, it may be necessary to water your crops depending on the environment, the nature of your soil and your choice of cultivation itinerary.
Who is Ferme de Cagnolle?
It's located in the Dordogne and is part of Kokopelli's network of producer-multipliers. There, Benoît works with the living soil method of market gardening. This technique reconstitutes the soil's natural fertility cycle, by stopping tilling the soil and adding organic matter to encourage living organisms. The Kokopelli Association and La Ferme de Cagnolle have joined forces to offer this assortment, as part of a common fight for biodiversity.
