There are astonishing initiatives emerging all over the world by increasing the uses of Bitcoin.
For some time now, many farmers around the world who are supporters of Bitcoin have decided to accept payment in bitcoin for their customers.
This is particularly the case of " The Vertes Prairies farm", based in Loire-Atlantique (Pannecé to be exact) which offers 100% organic and local beef to all its customers.
In this article, we introduce you to an original farm that has decided to accept Bitcoin payments, thus diving into the future while remaining rooted in agricultural traditions.
The Prairies Vertes farm
At the origin of the Ferme des Prairies Vertes project is Jérémy Launey, a former climate engineering professional who made the courageous choice to reorient himself towards agriculture. It was in 2016 that Jérémy made the decision to transform his dream into reality by creating a farm with traditional and ecological values.
Responsible for the management of more than 80 hectares of land, Jérémy Launey took charge of the agricultural operation while placing emphasis on preserving the environment. The farm's meadows are also home to Parthenaise breed cows while part of the land is devoted to growing crops such as wheat, buckwheat, hemp and sunflowers.
Parthenaise cows, renowned for their beefing qualities, are particularly appreciated for the delicacy of their meat.
Discovering the advantages of Bitcoin, Jérémy Launey took the initiative of offering his customers the possibility of paying for their purchases by paying in Bitcoin, thus opening new perspectives both for his farm and for lovers of quality products.
While across the Atlantic, there is a national initiative called " Beef Initiative » which brings together hundreds of farms that accept payment in bitcoin, you should know that there are few farms of this type in France and in Europe in particular...
