It is Soizic Desbois’ challenge to produce the majority of his plants completely autonomously and direct his production to little-known fruit trees and shrubs.
This much ! for 15 days, Desbois Nursery opens its doors in Vellescot. 20 minutes from Belfort. 37-year-old Soizic Desbois is the happy owner of the house. Originally from Alsace, Soizic did all his agricultural and horticultural work. Lucien Quelet High School in Valdoie (90). With nearly 15 years of significant professional experience in these sectors, he decided to set out on his own and implement the values he values, with the greatest respect for nature and as close to it as possible.
This includes, among other things, reducing plastic waste, especially for containers, and gradually moving towards zero waste. Water is also a daily concern for the young entrepreneur. How can we manage supply as accurately as possible and prevent overconsumption and waste? One of the ways being used is the development of a rainwater retention basin that has just been excavated on his land.

Organic label is in the second stage
Cuttings, grafting and many other techniques that will enable Soizic to move towards autonomy in the production of his plants. Because that’s where the real stake is. This is also accompanied by the dual mission of introducing the public to edible plants, generally unknown but well adapted to the vagaries of our climate and the soils of North Franche-Comté.
Organic label under the spotlightThe needs of our babysitter, who has no shortage of ideas to improve her youth operation, already meet these criteria.
