To be Limousin is to belong to a territory, to love it, to cherish it, to invest in it, to value it.

Her presentation …

I’m Patricia Mingotaud, and I live in Saint-Genest-sur-Roselle where I’ve been farming since 2018 with my husband.

I worked for 21 years in the tourism sector, and then I wanted a change, and to work with medicinal plants.

In 2014, I started harvesting birch sap in Eymoutiers, and became a betulicultrice.

In 2018, we left Eymoutiers for Saint-Genest-sur-Roselle where, on 23 hectares of farmland, we launched our global agricultural project.

For the past 5 years, we’ve been building, developing, producing, planting, creating and welcoming people to share our lovely place, a farm of well-being.

The place to be in Haute-Vienne

One place that has always captivated and soothed me is the Collégiale de Saint-Léonard-de-Noblat. It cradled my childhood and adolescence. It’s both a place of meditation and an important part of the region’s heritage, and far beyond. It’s a remarkable monument that takes us back centuries to the time of the great builders and pilgrimages to Léonard, the hermit who founded the city of Miaulétouse.

His pride...

What I’m most proud of is having dared, dared to change course in 2018 to create and run our agro-tourism project in the Limousin lands where I was born. And above all, I’m proud to have chosen and asserted the environmental and well-being values that have driven me since the project’s inception, a rebirth for me.
