Abstract

This text analyses what gives meaning of work in a multi-production farm in rural areas. We use data from a qualitative interview survey. This place was chosen because of the originality of the work collective and the variety of people's career paths: thus, we have distinguished portraits of "bifurcators", "experimenters" and volunteers. For the most part, these are young adults with a varied professional background: engineer, manager at the SNCF, salesman, employees in catering, chef... Some people have started organic farms and others have developed different activities around and on the farm. A critical reflection on productivity, productivism and the division of labor within this collective is at the center of the question about this experience of search for meaning.
