Domaine des Loyettes
THE CLIMATE NEEDS YOU! EAT WELL, EAT ORGANIC, EAT LOCAL!
HELP US DEVELOP THE CAPACITIES OF OUR PRODUCTION BRANCHES AND DISTRIBUTE OUR ORGANIC PRODUCTS THROUGHOUT ROMANDIE AND NEIGHBORING CANTONS.
We are seeking $50,000 to finance the development of our business lines, which focus on climate-friendly food production:
-> Ethical production of nitrite-free meat from endangered breeds
-> Plant production of rare or open-pollinated varieties
-> Organic honey production
-> production of ready meals and artisanal products cooked over a wood fire
-> promotion and distribution of our product range in stores
WHO ARE WE?
We are Maude and Julien! We have been nurturing this project together for 11 years.
Domaine des Loyettes is our baby, our cry to future generations:
«We love you!»
We are campaigning for locally produced, healthy, organic food, from the fields to the stove, from farm to fork!
SAVING THE CLIMATE ISN’T COMPLICATED: YOU JUST NEED TO EAT WELL.
And for that, we need your mouth!
Agricultural practices and eating habits are closely linked and influence the climate, contribute to species decline, and threaten our children’s future.
But they also hold the key to a solution.
Together, let’s change them for a better future!

OUR OBJECTIVES
Promoting climate-friendly practices at every stage of the food production chain & closing cycles.
THE LOYETTES NEED YOUR HELP!
The first target of 50,000 will enable us to increase our production capacity, in particular by acquiring a suitable cold chain.
The second target of 80,000 would cover almost all the equipment needed for each production branch.
A third target of 120,000 would cover the cost of a part-time position for one year.
Your contribution will help us:
-> TO KEEP GOING
-> TO EXPAND OUR DISTRIBUTION RANGE TO THE WHOLE OF ROMANDIE AND NEIGHBORING CANTONS
-> TO PAY STAFF (cost of labor: $52,000/year for a full-time position in agriculture)
-> RAISE MORE BLACK ALPINE PIGS & CHICKENS
-> GROW VEGETABLES WHILE PRESERVING OUR SOIL & BIODIVERSITY
-> CREATE COURSES & WORKSHOPS
-> CONTINUE
And SAVE THE CLIMATE!
We have already invested all our savings in the project, i.e. $125,000, and have borrowed nearly $100,000 from our relatives.
Total estimated needs:
->Total equipment: $82,000
-> Total equipment + one full-time employee: $134,000
-> Total equipment + one full-time employee + administrative costs: $154,000
-> Total equipment + one full-time employee + administrative costs + loan repayment: $204,000
A big THANK YOU for your interest and support!
With all our love, Maude & Ju.
