Recently, Reuters photographer Stephane Mahe travled to "Riec-sur-Belon, a corner of southern Brittany on Frances west coast" to explore the interesting
lifestyle of Jean-Bernard Huon, a farmer who has rejected modern advancements in farming.
Huon uses no machines or specially made pesticides, and instead labors on his farm by hand. Milking cows, making butter and cider, grinding flour, and feeding the livestock are all manual chores completed by Huon and his wife.
Huon remains isolated from modern society, "and has no TV, internet, running hot water or a car." Huon only uses two tractors to help pull heavy hay as he now has trouble doing this in his old age.
