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! Picking is also a piece of agricultural heritage in the heart of a highly urbanized territory.

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!
