Meet the Fosterrians
|
The Fosterrians are a contraction of Foster and Terrians. It represents the community of Fosterrians, whether long-standing or temporary, who reside in Foster - market gardeners, craftsmen, businesses - and all the people who come to spend a day or an evening in Foster..
They share the same values as Foster:
- the simplicity
- friendliness
- authenticity
- sustainability
- the passion for the land and for the pleasures of the table
Both the interior of the Farm and the surroundings are invitations for exchanges among the Fosterrians: curiosity, expertise, meals, tastings, new collaborations, discovery workshops, walks, terraces, coffee breaks, and aperitifs.
The list of shared moments is already long, and yet we are only at the beginning of the story. Over a drink, a coffee, or an impromptu lunch, exchanges intertwine, ideas flow, and recommendations come naturally. We discover our neighbour's profession, share a challenge, and propose a solution. An informal conversation becomes a meeting. A meeting becomes a collaboration. A collaboration becomes a lasting partnership.
It is this alchemy that gives Foster its strength. A place where we celebrate, where we share, where we laugh — but also a place where business synergies are born with ease, because trust and closeness are already present.
At Foster, friendliness is not an added bonus. It is a driving force for development.
THE MOMENTS OF CELEBRATION
Life in Foster is marked by the seasons and moments of celebration: the arrival of spring, the launch of a new beer, Saint Nicholas Day, Epiphany, Christmas, the start of the school year, the tasting of artisanal croquettes from Croquettes Food Factory, the selection of wines Gudule for the new season, the inauguration of a new space at La Guinguette, the broadcasting of the radio or television, the visits of journalists, the reception of the delegation Slow Food – Slow Farm…
Here, every occasion is a good reason to get together.
Every week, something happens at Foster and gathering around the large table on the terrace or in the Abreuvoir is always a pleasure. These moments are not just simple friendly interludes: they are the beating heart of the Foster community.
THE FOSTER AFTERWORKS
Much more than just drinks. Since the launch of Foster, we have been organising drinks evenings to introduce Foster and its Fosterians to the rest of the world.
At each edition, a theme is launched, an artisan and their products are highlighted, and we meet at theGuinguetteand at theAbreuvoir: our residents, our clients, our suppliers, the clients of our residents, our dear and local neighbours… A deliberate, open, vibrant mix.
The formula is simple and friendly: everyone is welcome and the first round is on the house.
But behind this simplicity lies something more powerful. These afterworks are crossroads of energy and opportunities. People come to share a drink… and often leave with an idea, a contact, a project. Conversations intersect, expertise is discovered, worlds meet. An artisan finds a new distributor. A consultant meets a future client. Two entrepreneurs realise they can respond together to a tender.
Here, networking is not a strategy. It is natural.
OSAN DRINKS
TheOsanare quality plant-based dynamisations made solely from plant and floral products, organic and seasonal. The Osan represent an ideal festive non-alcoholic alternative for aperitifs, as an accompaniment to dishes, or during brunch.
And it is in Foster that they are produced and displayed in all spaces - to offer a refreshing break or a gift idea for all Fosterians.
