Stories of orchards, chickens and biodiversity
“Having the territory in my veins and farmers as my idols, I decided to put down roots in the countryside. »
A colorful return to the earth. Spanning a period of five years, this story retraces the rural adventures of nutritionist Julie Aubé, as well as the learnings she gathered along the way. From Montreal to Saint-Roch-des-Aulnaies, with a slight detour through Italy and Normandy, Julie reverses the route leading from the table to the land, never hesitating to cross the limits of her plot to approach universal themes: the living, death, motherhood, the passing of time, the rest of the world and love. Free, light and delicious, Farmer’s heart is an intimate and passionate reflection on the great beauty of small agriculture, the territory, nature, the seasons and the incomparable taste of food when you have a little dirt under your fingernails.
