I found the perfect activity for family outing near Honfleur. Welcome to Maud and her casseroles! La Ferme des Cocottes is an organic food farm in the heart of a beautiful forest. This site surrounded by nature not only offers total disconnection but also a respect for nature both the fauna and the flora.
This is at Saint Maclou, a few kilometers from Honfleur that I meet Maud Lecarpentier. Accompanied by Lagny, her border collie from whom she is inseparable, Maud offers me a commented visit of his farm and his world. Here is the story of my meeting with this farmer who is passionate about living things and biodiversity.
A family project focused on the environment 🌿
At a time educational farm, permaculture garden et organic chicken farming, I discover a place where Mother Nature is queen. Maud explains to me that she has always been sensitive to nature protection and its beauty. His transition to a healthy lifestyle and a responsible agricultural profession took place gradually. It was the meeting with his soul mate that made him realize his childhood dream: building an educational farm to live in the middle of nature with animals. The objective of this project? Raising awareness of nature and the preservation of its natural heritage!
🐔His specialty: Chickens, and more particularly, the noirans, a hybrid of the marans and the redhead. This hen produces eggs of superior quality. Through her natural breeding and respecting organic farming, Maud hopes to protect this breed that the industry is endangering.
Let's review baby animals as a family! 🐣
It was my favorite activity when I was a child: reviewing baby animals with the family! What's better than an educational farm for transmettre this knowledge with the younger generations? Maud offers guided tours on the farm for families and groups of children in high season. If you're looking for the place to fuel the “Which came first or the casserole came first” debate, look no further!
👶Possible activities on the farm:
- Herding dog demonstration
- Pig feeding
- Cuddles with guinea pigs
- Grooming of ponies
- Fishing for small creatures of the pond
- And many other discoveries!
