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!
The little extra thing about the farm of Compans 💫
- Two pickings in one: The farm has two distinct sites, allowing you to enjoy the harvest in the spring and then to find the crops on another site in summer and autumn
- The Cueillette de Compans is therefore a real agricultural course that varies according to the seasons
The Gathering of Compans
Fruits and vegetables that respect the seasons (50 varieties). Strawberries in spring, apples in September and autumn vegetables such as pumpkins
Eco-responsible agriculture (according to the Straw Hat picking charter)

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!
