Presentation

Live a unique experience in the heart of the Croix d'Estrine farm ! Spend the day with Bernard, goat and cheese breeder to talk about his job and his passion for goats and kids.

We invite you to meet at the farm from 10 a.m. to attend the morning milking. Take a tour of the property, you won't be able to resist the urge to pet goats and goats that live freely. Donkeys, hens and roosters mingle... a pretty barnyard! It will be time to go for a walk in the hill with the herd of goats and kids. Live a total peasant immersion! You will quickly get caught up in the game.

At lunch, share a farmer's picnic prepared by Bernard with products from the farm. A moment of exchange and sharing in the heart of nature.
A 100% local experience that we are offering for the second year! At the end of the day, we are convinced that you will leave with unforgettable memories... if you don't want to leave with a goat!

On site, you can buy various products: goat cheese, natural, chocolate or fruit yogurt, egg creams, brousse du Rove, bottles of milk (from Rove), terrines, jams, etc.

In partnership with Bernard Thoron, goat breeder at the Fermette de la Croix d'Estrine in Saint-Julien-les-Martigues.
