About La Tâcheron Farm

La Tâcheron Farm — steeped in Jersey’s rural heritage yet firmly grounded in regenerative innovation — is an inspiring agricultural hub in Trinity, Jersey. The farm takes its name from the old Jèrriais expression “Le Tâcheron,” meaning “the team” — historically referring to the ideal potato harvesting team of three workers, each with a distinct role, whose success depended on cooperation and mutual support. The name encapsulates not only Jersey’s agricultural legacy but also the deep connections between land, community, livestock, soil, and people that define La Tâcheron’s mission today.

A Regenerative Home in the Heart of the Island

What began as a field-based gathering has grown into something much greater. La Tâcheron hosted the very first Regen Gathering — an annual two-day festival that celebrates regenerative food systems, ecological farming, and community innovation — and continues to be its home. This event, now in its third year, brings together farmers, growers, thinkers, and curious islanders to explore how healthier soil, smarter land stewardship, and community-led food systems can shape a brighter future for Jersey’s landscapes and people.

From Field to Barn: Building Community Infrastructure

Originally held in a field, Regen Gathering’s evolution mirrors La Tâcheron’s own journey: from humble beginnings to becoming a dynamic place with purpose-built infrastructure. The farm now boasts a beautiful new barn and educational farm facility that provides a welcoming venue for workshops, talks, and practical learning. Nestled within this space is a fully equipped kitchen — a hub for creative food enterprises born from the farm’s regenerative ethos.

Lucie’s Boulange: A Field-to-Fork Bakery

At the heart of La Tâcheron’s kitchen is Lucie’s Boulange, a bakery incubated right on the farm. Led by French-trained baker Lucie Gaignol-Duval, Lucie’s Boulange is dedicated to crafting bread, pastries, and baked goods using heritage grain flours grown and stone-milled at La Tâcheron. This field-to-fork partnership brings the farm’s cereals to life in the form of loaves and viennoiserie that celebrate deep flavour, traditional technique, and local provenance — making it a Jersey first in artisanal baking rooted directly in local grain production.

Soil Health and Regenerative Practice

Over the last three years, La Tâcheron has opened its fields to regenerative experimentation and research. Vida Tech and other partners have been welcomed to test and monitor soil health as part of a broader commitment to improving soil structure, biodiversity, and nutrient cycling through thoughtful crop rotation and holistic land management. While specific published details about Vida Tech’s work aren’t broadly available online, this work aligns with the farm’s regenerative goals and the broader conversations taking place at Regen Gathering about soil biology and agroecological practice.

A Centre for Regeneration — and Grounded in History

La Tâcheron is more than a working farm — it has become a centre of regeneration in Jersey. It is available for hire as a venue, a meeting place, and a living demonstration of how heritage, innovation, and community can come together to enhance local food systems and environmental resilience. At once forward-looking and rooted in the island’s agricultural traditions, the farm embodies a vision where heritage wheat, regenerative practices, and community-driven enterprise thrive hand-in-hand.
