The Ferme des Néfliers is typical of the rural heritage of the Haute Vallée de Chevreuse. In order to preserve this architectural setting, which bears witness to the evolution of agriculture since the 18th century, the choice was made to rehabilitate the buildings in a sustainable manner (using biosourced and geosourced materials from short or local sources). The insulation of the buildings is made of hemp concrete completed by an exterior coating of hemp and lime. In the development and equipment process, priority was given to repair, recycling, sustainable materials and local craftsmen.
A wastewater treatment system based on phytodepuration is installed in the farmyard. A composter recycles the restaurant's bio-waste.
Hectar does not use plastic bottles and has installed several Castalie water fountains offering micro-filtered mains water. Glass carafes are placed in each meeting room and seminar area, for easy access to still or sparkling water.
The two wood boilers will soon be supplied by the site's forestry activity. The maintenance of the spaces is done in respect of the environment (maintenance products, etc...).

Supplied with local, seasonal produce, the restaurant focuses on sustainable, low-carbon dining.
Good practices against waste have been put in place. On-site waste management processes catering biowaste on site and allow organic matter to be returned to the earth through electromechanical composting.

Some of the furniture in the offices and seminar areas is second-hand, and the materials and furniture in the old farmhouse have been repaired, recycled and re-used as much as possible.
At Hectar, respect for the environment and resources, as well as our carbon footprint, are at the heart of our practices. The farm is run using regenerative agriculture. The site's operations are designed to protect the environment and resources, and to limit the carbon footprint as much as possible (light electric utility vehicles for work on the plots, recycling of waste water for washing farm equipment, etc.).
