The roots of the project<\/h2>\n
\n

In spring 2023, we planted the first seeds of a project close to our hearts: a market garden farm dedicated to supplying the Lumami restaurant with fresh, local produce.<\/p>\n

Today, we grow more than 40 varieties of vegetables, herbs, and small fruits, as well as a diverse orchard and flowers, guided by the chef\u2019s needs and the rhythm of the seasons. Our farming practices prioritize biodiversity, intensive small-scale cultivation, minimal soil disturbance, and low mechanization, for a mindful and sustainable approach to agriculture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The greenhouse<\/h3>\n

Fresh produce year-round thanks to our minimally heated greenhouse, kept just above freezing using a geothermal system (thermal battery). It enables continuous harvests in both summer and winter, ensuring a steady local production that follows the seasons and supports our cuisine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The gardens<\/h3>\n

Our gardens include more than forty varieties of vegetables, cut flower production for bouquet making, as well as a diverse orchard. The entire area covers approximately 1.25 acres under cultivation, or 55,000 square feet, carefully tended in line with our sustainable and local farming practices.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The farm stand<\/h3>\n

To make use of our surplus, we have set up a small self-serve farm stand, restocked daily. It offers vegetables, berries, cut flower bouquets, and products prepared by our chef, providing simple and direct access to our fresh, seasonal harvests.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
