The Transfarmers project

Transfarmers

Contraction of the words "to transform" and "farmer"

A transfarmer is someone who transfarms. 

" It is by transfarming that one becomes a Transfarmer."


To transfarm means changing an action, a habit, an object, an idea... in such a way as to make it beneficial for Nature and for humans in general. 

Ex. "He transfarms everything he touches."

Being a transfarmer means putting one foot (or 2!) in a caring community that wants to offer simple solutions to help everyone (re)connect with nature and preserve it.

To be a transfarmer is to be one of the first users of the composting flowerpot.

Being a transfarmer means working hand in hand with nature to design the future.

Our Story

The starting point was the composting flowerpot we created because it was missing from our daily lives. This project gave rise to the idea that we could do this on a larger scale, and even why not make other objects in the same spirit. That's how the Transfarmers company was born!

Our mission

Propose innovative, eco-designed, responsible solutions with a very specific goal: to live more in harmony with nature. Less high tech, no programmed obsolescence. Objects of simple use that could last a lifetime and more, which would all have in common to be an alternative or a solution to preserve the environment, both in their design and in their use.

Pour nous, le pot de fleurs composteur n’a de sens que s’il est fabriqué le plus localement possible dans des matériaux recyclés et/ou respectueux de l’environnement. Ainsi, à l’exception des bouchons en liège, toutes les pièces du pot de fleurs composteur viennent de France.

Les pots sont fabriqués près de Castelnaudary, les vers viennent tantôt de Quimper (et en plus ça rime), tantôt du Sud-Ouest. La coupelle et la membrane intérieure quant à elles sont fabriquées en Normandie. Les bouchons en liège viennent du Portugal et sont finis dans un ESAT, où est également assemblée la pochette d’accessoires qui accompagnent la pièce en terre cuite pour un produit complet. Le tout est assemblé puis expédié depuis l’atelier de céramique.
