The Urban Farmer, a network of agro-ecological urban farms, has set out the challenge of improving cohesion within companies through nature-oriented activities. Nestled in the 20th arrondissement, just a few steps from the Gambetta metro station, the Urban Farmer offers a 6,700 m2 agricultural site where employees can strengthen their bonds and increase their awareness of environmental issues. They provide a variety of activities tailored to raise awareness of environmental issues and offer practical workshops on the farm’s premises.
Organized team building activities at the Urban Farmer are diverse and engaging, ranging from quizzes on biodiversity to blind tastings and gardening workshops. These outdoor activities have attracted employees like Raphaël Chalicarne from Omie company, who found the experience both enlightening and a great way to bond with colleagues. Many companies, like Omie, choose to organize these activities either at the start of the school year or towards the end of the year, taking advantage of the unique setting and activities offered by the Urban Farmer.
The impact of team building activities at the Urban Farmer is undeniable, as they promote better team cohesion, reduce turnover, and improve the quality of life within the company. By participating in these activities, companies also support the financial sustainability of the farm and contribute to its various initiatives, such as educating school children about agriculture and sustainable development. The Urban Farmer also provides job opportunities for individuals facing various challenges, offering them a path to professional integration and training.
Through their activities and initiatives, the Urban Farmer aims to create a peaceful and productive environment for team building, fostering better relationships and a deeper understanding of nature. As an urban farm specializing in microgreens cultivation, the Urban Farmer not only provides a unique space for companies to bond but also contributes to environmental sustainability and education for future generations.
