Educational farms play an essential role in raising families' awareness of the rural world and nature, even in Paris and the Paris region. By offering direct contact with farm animals - goats, chickens, rabbits, cows or pigs - they enable children and adults alike to discover the daily lives of farmers, the cycles of nature, and the realities of animal husbandry and agriculture. These interactive learning spaces also offer creative and culinary workshops, as well as workshops on making farm products... They also offer animal care.
In the Val-de-Marne, several educational farms stand out: the Ferme de Paris near Vincennes, for example, although on the outskirts of Paris, attracts many families with its wooded environment and educational program. The Mandres-les-Roses farm, set in a nature park, emphasizes eco-responsibility and organic farming. There's also the Saut du Loup farm in Chennevières-sur-Marne, renowned for its participatory activities. These farms are all great places to reconnect young and old to the fundamentals of rural life, just a stone's throw from Paris.
So, why not take the whole family to one of the department's farms?
