Votre Cercle de Vie (Your Circle of Life) is first and foremost the story of a farmer family from the Pays-d'Enhaut who is convinced that a viable future starts by anchoring human beings to their land and that agriculture constitutes the umbilical cord between all living beings and nature.
Nicolas Mottier comes from the fifth generation of a farmer family from the Pays-d'Enhaut. Farmer and co-founder of Votre Cercle de Vie, the father of the family cultivates the passion of his profession with a developed sense of contact and pedagogical fibre.
With his good nature, calm of mind and humor, Nicolas ensures the smooth running of the farm and all its related activities.
Esther Mottier, daughter of a farmer family, grew up in the Simmental valley before settling in Château-d'Œx. Trained as a naturopath, manager of a wholefood shop and a bed & breakfast, she is interested in nature and health. Full of energy and generosity, the mother of the family, who is at the same time operator and co-founder of Votre Cercle de Vie, ensures that everyone on the farm feels at ease.
They are parents of three children, Laurent (2008), Alissia (2012), and Sayan (2022). Immersed in the values and traditions of a life connected to living beings, they have had the desire, since the birth of their first child, to seek systemic solutions to address the crises of our society. Through this project, they aim to initiate significant changes and promote the development of a new society, both for the present and for future generations.
