Quentin Ledoux is the founder of Ferme du Coin² in Fosses-La-Ville. On his family farm, he combines livestock farming and fruit arboriculture according to an environmentally friendly production model.
Project details
Quentin is a farmer of ducks, sheep, and cows, organically and free-range. He aims to offer quality food through short supply chains.
In 2021, Quentin had the opportunity to expand his farm by an additional 1.4 hectares. The first thing he did: plant trees!
Quentin: artisan grafter
PlantC supports Quentin’s agroforestry approach and his expertise as an artisan grafter by supporting his planting project and the protection of a 34 high-stem fruit tree meadow orchard that will protect his livestock and poultry.
Several varieties of apple trees have been planted: “Cwastresse simple”, “Gueule de mouton”, and “Reinette étoilée”.
Dear contributors, you have not only supported sustainable agriculture, but also promoted short supply chains.
The planting was carried out with love in winter 2022. Since then, Eglantine and her friends (Galloway cows) have been living in perfect harmony with this magnificent orchard.

The project in 2022
Despite the periods of drought, the fruit trees are thriving. This is not by chance. Quentin is truly committed to his project and has been diligent in monitoring the planting. And to the great delight of his cows!
Visit to the plantation in autumn 2022 and summer 2023, an opportunity to visit the beautiful Eglantine who is enjoying her new meadow orchard!
