The Farm-Pickers are exceptional places in Île-de-France, perfect for family outings. A picking farm is a farm that allows visitors to harvest fruit, vegetables or flowers directly from the fields themselves. This concept promotes a privileged contact with nature for children, access to fresh and tasty products in integrated organic production, local and seasonal. It is also a friendly activity that brings together gourmets and professionals who redouble their efforts to find the most gourmet varieties! Here in Servigny children can pass their “wheelbarrow permit”! A nod to transform the traditional wheelbarrow into a fun little activity
The little extra of picking Servigny 💫
- Servigny animations around the apple where visitors can see the juice being squeezed before their eyes.
- Tastings of different varieties of apples and homemade juices: apple-raspberry, apple-blackcurrant, apple-redcurrant or apple-pear
- A family particularity: the “wheelbarrow licence” for children, offered during certain activities.
The Servigny Harvest
This is one of the educational pick-ups two minutes from Meaux, near Paris
Servigny has been welcoming children for more than 20 years to help them discover the crops. Self-guided tours allow each child to pick a small basket of seasonal fruit or vegetables. Guided tours offer a discovery of the vegetable garden or a planting workshop in the spring, then an apple juice workshop in the autumn

Other farms picked in Ile-de-France
Taking the children to a farm is a great idea! In fact, families flock there on Wednesdays, weekends or during the holidays. It’s a breath of fresh air in perspective and above all an educational outing, which allows them to make them aware of nature and ecology and of “eating well”. And when they get home, they are more inclined to eat what they have harvested.
Educational farms (with animals)
The educational farms are real havens of peace that allow a break in contact with animals and nature. To be discovered with the family for picking, meeting the animals or participating in workshops all year round or for special occasions (for Halloween, Christmas and Easter) and even celebrate your birthdays!
