Introducing truffles and truffles to as many people as possible
The world of truffles often appears to be a mysterious and ... inaccessible world. The Trufficulture Pour Tous association, created in 2016 and based in Dordogne, aims to introduce truffles and truffles to a diverse audience: schoolchildren, people with reduced mobility, people with disabilities, non-French speaking people, etc. mid-term ambition is to obtain the "Tourism and Handicap" label.
History of the Trufficulture Pour Tous association
The initial idea was born when we created our truffle farm in 2014. After many years of research, we fell in love with a land located near Sainte Alvère in the heart of Périgord. Before creating our truffle field on this hill previously planted with vines, we visited many truffle fields. Although very informative from a technical point of view, these visits brought to light the difficulties of accessibility of a majority of the truffle sites. The idea was born: our truffle farm will be educational and adapted to all handicaps. November 2016: filing of statutes at the prefecture and creation of the association "Trufficulture pour Tous". November 2017 - January 2018: success of the crowdfunding campaign on the tudigo.co platform thank you friends and family! March 2018: Brush clearing and site preparation for the TPT hut April 2018: submission of the prior request for work on the TPT hut November 2018: fencing work around the educational truffle.
