LE CHAMP DES POSSIBLES

Le Champ des Possibles is a small-scale market garden project based on the heights of Jupille in Liège, Belgium. It grows seasonal vegetables through agroecological and organic methods, with production organized around direct self-picking on the field. The project is built on a community-supported agriculture model, where subscribing households pre-finance the season and receive a weekly share of the harvest. It positions itself as a local, participatory and trust-based initiative that connects the grower and member-consumers around fresh, high-quality vegetables. The company emphasizes soil health, seasonal production and a social dimension to farming. Members can access the field, follow the harvest, and take part in the project through exchange moments and, for those who wish, occasional collective work days. Key Offerings Seasonal vegetable production : The farm grows around forty varieties of vegetables, including spring, summer, autumn and winter crops. The assortment changes with the seasons and is designed for fresh consumption. Self-picking harvest shares : Members collect their weekly share directly on the field, with tools and harvest information provided on site. This is the core service offered to subscribing households. CSA subscription model : Households buy annual shares of the harvest in advance, securing access to produce while providing the farm with early-season financing. The subscription is tailored to the needs of each household. Direct farm access and member support : Subscribers have permanent access to the field and receive harvest updates, making the offer more interactive than a standard produce box. Core Values Agroecology : The farm rejects chemical fertilizers and weedkillers, relying instead on organic manure and compost. Its approach is explicitly framed as protecting both the land and human health. Trust : The CSA model is presented as a system based on trust, with members able to access financial accounts and contribute to management and production planning. Solidarity : The project seeks fair remuneration for the grower while giving households reliable access to quality vegetables. Pre-financing and shared responsibility are central to this value. Participation : Exchange moments, harvest days and optional collective work reinforce the social dimension of farming. The project is designed as a collaboration between producer and consumer-members. Seasonality : Production follows the natural rhythm of the seasons, with harvests varying across the year. This is presented as part of the farm’s respect for the land and for fresh food quality. Unique Aspects Community-supported agriculture structure : The farm is organized as a CSA, with member households pre-financing the season and sharing both the risks and rewards of production. Self-picking on the field : Rather than distributing pre-packed boxes, the project lets members harvest their own share directly on site, with harvest boards and flags to guide picking. Member transparency and governance : Subscribers can access financial accounts and have a say in the management and production plan, which is unusual for a small farm and reinforces the trust-based model. Local origin in Jupille : The project is rooted on a field in the heights of Jupille near Liège, and the website notes that the land was found through a Terre-en-Vue meeting. Strong social dimension : Beyond produce, the farm highlights shared events, family visits and occasional collective work as part of the experience, making it a community project as much as an agricultural one.
