In biodynamics, the farm is viewed as a living organism composed of organs essential to the survival of the whole: plants, animals, and humans. In the vineyard, plant biodiversity is preserved through careful attention to the soil, cover crops, the application of organic matter, the diversification of grape varieties (around thirty varieties, including heritage, indigenous, and resistant ones), and massal selection—and, last but not least, through... l’agroforesterie.

In 2025, a new project designed from an animal's perspective is taking shape: a fence surrounding the 16 hectares of vineyards. The aim is twofold: to protect the vines and the new tree plantings from the increasingly present game; and introduce animals into the plots, inside the fence.

• The fencing protects the fruits of our labor—our plant material, grapes, and crops. The presence of game animals (roe deer, wild boar, and red deer) has become too intense to risk seeing a whole year’s effort go to waste.
• Building on our work in organic and biodynamic farming—and now agroforestry—this project marks a new milestone in our ongoing pursuit of greater coherence and balance. We are introducing animals into the vineyard—including New Zealand KuneKune pigs, chickens, sheep, and cows—to help cultivate the soil, manage ground cover, and enrich the plots. These animals enhance the diversity and abundance of soil fungi and microorganisms while attracting populations of insects and birds.

Eco-grazing professionals highlight several other benefits of working with animals:

• environmental: maintaining open habitats, combating scrub encroachment and habitat closure, diversifying flora, and reducing the carbon footprint.
• social: a vehicle for social connection, serenity, and a sense of calm; an educational role and one of raising awareness about the animal world

We are at the beginning of this wonderful adventure, and the herd will grow year by year. Our first animals already have their names, of course: K-resse, K-pucine, K-ssandra, K-momille, K-ssiopée, and K-ssoulet for the pigs; and K-ssolette, K-becou, ​​K-chou, K-rpaccio, K-rotte, K-nette, K-gette, K-lin, and K-price for the ewes!
