The Inn
Thanks to our varied production, our Farm-Inn is able to offer you quality food (catering based on products from the farm and local producers).
As the estate is entirely enclosed, we only welcome groups of 8 to 50 people by reservation, to ensure the peace and quiet of our guests and animals (both domestic and wild). This is the key to offering you an immersion in nature in the immediate vicinity of Grenoble.
We also offer snacks for children's groups, as part of farm visits or birthday parties.
We also organize festive meals for weddings, birthdays, banquets, etc., and develop customized projects.
The farm
Here, the guiding principle of our activities remains quality. Quality of welcome, but also quality of products, almost all of which come from our own farm.
Our goats live in total freedom, our poultry is grain-fed and lives in the open air, and our vegetable garden is free from chemical treatments.
Our guests can participate with us in all the farm's activities: breeding, market gardening...
So, even if you don't find any organic or other labels here, everyone can understand in practice how agriculture is respectful of the environment and animal welfare: in fact, rediscover the role of the real farmer!
