In the case of Emilie Nussbamer, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Her father’s family has lived and worked on this Alsace farm for generations, and now she has converted it into a smart business idea that combines a cafe, homewares store and bed and breakfast.
Emilie’s father grew up on the vast plot of land on which the farm is situated, but he left the rural estate to start his own family in a nearby village. It was here that Emilie was born and raised. Despite moving away, her father continued to workon the farm with his two brothers; something Emilie has strong memories of. When one of Emilie’s uncles retired a few years ago and moved away from the property, he left the farmhouse to the next generation. It was then that Emilie decided to build a business that would keep her close to her father, who still works on the farm growing wheat and other cereals.
