La Ferme du Clos

What La Ferme du Clos does

La Ferme du Clos is a sole-proprietorship (Entreprise Individuelle) organic farm operating on a 7.5-hectare estate in Bazouges Cré sur Loir, in the Vallée du Loir (Pays de la Loire region, France), founded in 2021 by an individual who transitioned from a 25-year career in a large French company after completing BPREA and 'Paysan Créatif' agricultural training. The farm is Ecocert organic-certified (certificate 72/239475/1367796, SIRET 89970750900019) and is structured as an 'écolieu' (eco-village) within the La Cabanerie community. Core agricultural infrastructure comprises a 1,000 m² market garden, a hedgerow tree nursery (oaks, acacias, hornbeams, hazelnut, chestnut, fig, vine, maple, willow), a greenhouse for seedlings and fruit trees, and a geodesic dome used for community events.

The product portfolio consists of seasonal organic vegetables (salad, chard, onions, parsley, celery, carrots, beets, tomatoes, peppers, aubergines, squash, fennel, turnips, mesclun), organic eggs sold in six-packs, mushrooms sourced from partner farm Ferme de Cédric (pleurotes €11/kg, shiitakes €14/kg), and small hedgerow tree plants (€1.50-€8 per unit). A secondary offering is a 17 m² Tiny House eco-tourism accommodation sleeping three, priced at €80 for the first night and €70 for subsequent nights, including linens, with check or cash settlement on arrival. All primary sales occur at the on-farm stand during scheduled hours (Thursday 17H-19H and Saturday 10H-12H at 209 chemin du Clos Bougreau), with occasional mobile sales to Angevin customers at the 'espoir jus de fruits' apple-pressing event in Écouflant.

The business operates as a pure direct-to-consumer micro-enterprise with no intermediaries, no digital commerce platform, and no app or API; the only digital infrastructure is a WordPress blog used for weekly product and price postings, with social sharing to Facebook and Twitter/X. Customer relationships are entirely transactional and anonymous, and marketing is minimal — word-of-mouth, the WordPress site, and La Cabanerie cross-promotion. Pricing is per-unit/per-kg pay-as-you-go across all revenue streams, and the owner-operator model means the enterprise's capacity is structurally capped at the throughput achievable by a single full-time farmer on the existing land base.
