The visit of the farm takes place all year round, but it is necessary to call to be sure of my availability on the farm and the possibility of welcoming you.
There is no shortage of work on the farm and trips to local markets (Christmas markets, truffle markets, wool days, shearing days, etc.) mean that I am not always able to make the visit of the day. Duration 1h30.
To avoid finding yourself in front of the closed door farm, take the lead: call me before you go, on 06 70 71 43 96. No free visit to the farm. Mandatory reservation.
