In a very interesting testimony, our client Yanis Irhir from GAEC Pachamama presents the profession of farmer-baker. A demanding but above all diverse profession. A true Swiss army knife, the farmer-baker enhances their product from seed to final product.

We find bread to be an interesting outlet for enhancing our work and making our production profitable. We produce 360 kg of bread per week, made with natural sourdough and baked in a wood-fired oven […].

Bread thus serves as a supplementary source of income within this economic model, which is based on collaboration, mutual aid, and passion. It represents a return to authenticity, manual labor, and self-discovery for these three career changers. By addressing the growing need for meaningful work, this approach to baking restores its former prestige, presenting it as a way to elevate the farmer’s efforts. At a time when the economy urgently needs to reinvent itself, this alternative appears to be a natural solution for reconnecting with the essentials.
