In the desert of intensive monocultures in the Somme Valley, there remains an oasis, a model of organic farming: the orchards of La Planquette, cultivated by Pierre Dancoisne. Constantly learning about the plants and animals around him, he has succeeded, with the support of the AMAP of Hauts-de-France and stores, in founding an economically credible organic tree farm. Having to face the vagaries of the climate and the ravages of newcomers, thermophilic insects, Pierre fights, imagines new solutions by always using the possibilities offered by local biodiversity, so that the orchard lives. http://vergerdelaplanquette.fr/
