Ephrem Fusion

Sharing: wood-fired ovens have brought people together for millennia, and baking is done in the company of others. As such, conviviality and passing on knowledge are cornerstones of our approach. We are creating The Office – a new collaborative space with the support of the European Leader programme. It is a rural culinary workshop dedicated to baking with wood-fired ovens, rediscovering different types of bread and gourmet pizzas. It is a shared space for exchanging ideas and meeting new people

Well-being: many people have been learning new trades lately. This shows how much we need a better and healthier life style. Ephrem is fully on board and, as such, started a training and team-coaching programme in 2020, and signed up to the RSE04 programme in 2021. The key to this is new habits, better organisation and adequate renovation

Environment: this is the starting point and what prompted us to get back to working in our local area and laying the foundations for a more global project: creating a third place that is dedicated to low-tech innovation. The 1.5-hectare of unused farm land will soon be transformed into an area dedicated to permaculture to supply both the team and culinary workshops. Come discover this new ecosystem led by Gabriel!

Global design: aesthetics are just as important as ethics. Preserving the basics, ensuring the sustainability of nearly fifty-year-old know-how and modernising style is what we aim for. And we want to apply it everywhere for perfect harmony: a wood-fired oven should be showcased; it gets people on board and is a refined way of getting them back to their roots. It renews the long term through heating cycles and large feasts.
