A rural, nourishing, educational, and demonstrative ecological farm
L'Arbre qui Pousse fosters a space for collective emergence. It is an open meeting place, inviting us to explore, grow, contribute, and evolve together. The Arbre serves as a tangible demonstration that collective living can be both open and grounded in shared realities, while reinventing the ways we produce, consume, live, and connect.

A shared housing community

A place for experimentation
An invitation grounded in rethinking our relationships with ourselves, with others, with living beings, and with the world.
Even outside of our scheduled activities, the farm is always open and accessible.
Our Story
The project was born in the hearts of four young individuals. utopistes and pragmatiques in 2017. Three years later, accompanied by a group of convinced citizens, they established the Ecotones Foundation, which acquired the Balbrière Farm to anchor the project there.
Today, L'Arbre qui Pousse has no less than 20 project leaders, 25 active residents on a daily basis, hundreds of friends and supporters, and a community of over 10,000 followers on social media.
