What Champ Libre does

Champ Libre (legal entity GROUPE CHAMP LIBRE, SAS) is a French organic farm-to-table hospitality business founded in 2022 and headquartered in Paris, with operational assets in the Vexin Regional Nature Park. The company was originally built around La cantine Champ Libre, a Paris restaurant in the 10th arrondissement founded by Alice and Chloé Jakubowicz that served seasonal, house-made cuisine sourced from local organic producers; this restaurant permanently closed in February 2026 after 3.5 years. Following the October 2024 acquisition of Ferme des Millonets — an organic market garden in Vienne-en-Arthies previously operated by Sophie and Rémi since 2005 — the company has refocused on agricultural production and on-farm hospitality.

The current operating model rests on three pillars: (1) weekly vegetable and bread subscriptions distributed through three AMAP networks in Île-de-France (AMAP des Volontaires in Paris 15e, AMAP Longchamp in Suresnes, and AMAP des Amarantes in Vienne-en-Arthies), serving approximately 100 families with baskets sourced from the farm's own production and a wood-fired bakery (fournil); (2) two vacation gîtes on the farm — the 8-person Petit Gîte and the 15-person Grand Gîte — listed and booked through the Gîtes de France platform; and (3) the farm itself, which holds agriculture biologique certification and cultivates organic fruits and vegetables. Marketing and customer acquisition rely on Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, a SibForms email newsletter, and the Gîtes de France platform.

Champ Libre operates with no proprietary technology: its stack consists of a Squarespace website, the Gîtes de France third-party booking widget, and historically the ZenChef reservation system. The business is privately held by its co-founders, with Chloé Jakubowicz (BPREA in agroecology, École du Breuil) now leading the farm following Alice's withdrawal post-closure. With 5 total employees and €11,446 of share capital, the company is small-scale, founder-operated, and currently transitioning from a dual restaurant-and-farm model to a farm-and-agritourism-only model anchored by recurring AMAP subscriptions and short-stay rental revenue.
