Ferme Emmaüs Baudonne

Ferme Emmaüs Baudonne, situated in Tarnos, is an agroecological farm that operates as part of the global Emmaüs Movement. An objective of the Emmaüs movement is to establish a farm in every region in France. Ferme Baudonne, owned by “l’Organisme de gestion de la Ferme Emmaüs Baudonne,” was established in 2020 and is situated in the coastal Southern part of the Nouvelle Aquitaine region. Its purpose is to provide individuals who are nearing the end of their sentence with an opportunity to readjust and rebuild their lives before release.

SMALL-SCALE

Ferme Emmaüs Baudonne can accommodate twelve residents, which makes it a small-scale facility. Residents are housed in single rooms, most of which have their own bathrooms. The communal areas consist of a practical and cheerfully decorated dining room, kitchen and lounge. The facility also comprises a primary school for 40 local children, contributing to that feeling through a shared space.

DIFFERENTIATION

The target group at Emmaüs Baudonne is described as being made up of adult women (or people identifying as a woman) placed under house arrest. These are people sentenced to long prison terms (more than 5 years) who have shown a strong desire to embark on a new life project and whose links with the outside world, both family and social, have been completely severed.

The facility’s staff and volunteers provide comprehensive, personalized support. In particular, this covers the management of daily life, social support, financial and household management, support in rebuilding family and social ties, and support in returning to work.

COMMUNITY-INTEGRATION

The farm is well accepted by and well-integrated into the community. The proof of this is that the town has offered the use of municipal land for its farming activities at more than friendly rates. The farm also houses an alternative school with around forty children from all over the neighbourhood. Every Thursday afternoon, locally grown seasonal vegetables are sold directly from the farm. The same applies every Saturday morning at the market in the nearby town. The facility also organizes two garage sales on the site, as well as an annual free concert for the summer annual music festival. Volunteers are heavily involved in many of the activities offered to Emmaüs Baudonne residents.
