The lands of Karibu in Lucarré, a traveler who became a market gardener

Catherine Dobbelaere has been running Les Terres de Karibu for 2 years, located in Lucarré near Lembeye. After living in Africa for a long time and doing humanitarian work, this Belgian settled in Béarn having fallen in love with the land she bought. She now grows fruits, vegetables and herbs there with Les Terres de Karibu.

Organic cultivation and permaculture.

In response to a desire to live closer to nature and to actively contribute to the health of the soil and the preservation of ecosystems, Catherine Dobbelaere reconverted 2 years ago and embarked on the adventure of Lands from Karibu.

This name is a nod to an African expression which means “welcome”.

Ecocert certified, Catherine Dobbeleare is committed every day with passion to ensure that these crops are respectful of the environment

Fruits, vegetables and herbs

This farmer, passionate about organic farming and permaculture, mainly grows vegetables.

Currently, she grows in greenhouses, which allows her to still have tomatoes, peppers and summer vegetables. Soon it will begin its winter season.

Short circuit sales

Catherine highlights local agriculture which promotes short circuits, while raising awareness of the importance of consuming in an eco-responsible manner. This is how it offers its products on the Lembeye market or in some local supermarkets.
