Mouton is a pioneering regenerative agriculture project in Wallonia that combines organic orchards, sheep farming, sustainable wool production, and environmental preservation. Through practices like sheep grazing and hedge planting, the farm eliminates the need for pesticides and heavy machinery while promoting biodiversity and soil health. The wool from the sheep is then locally transformed into ethical and sustainable textiles, creating a circular economy loop. Mouton reduces its carbon footprint, protects biodiversity, and supports the local economy while revitalizing the wool industry in Wallonia (Belgium).
The colombier farm is a unique place dedicated to individual and collective transformation. Driven by a vision of openness and connection, the project is structured around four main axes: hosting training courses and residencies to promote learning, building social links with markets and citizen events, Promote sustainable agriculture through market gardening, and provide space for art and spiritual pursuit. By blending ecology, creativity and solidarity, the farm aspires to change lives and build a more harmonious future.
A collective of field practitioners, health experts, and public utility foundations, brought together by the Terre de Vie Foundation, supports the development and promotion of care activities related to agriculture and forestry in Belgium. The aim is to restore the ability of individuals with mild to moderate mental health issues to act on their own lives and on society.
The agricultural and forestry space covers more than 100 hectares, with both agricultural and non-agricultural buildings. The project aims to demonstrate the capacity of such a complex to successfully transition towards a sustainable ecosystem that is conducive to the protection of living beings, economically viable, and offers prospects for social development for the local inhabitants, the region, and those who will stop by for a few hours or days. The area is characterized by the presence of a former orphanage dating from the early 19th century and by its location near the National Park of Forests in the Grand Est region of France.
