At the educational farm, whether you are a parent, grandparent, group leader in leisure, educational, or medico-social structures, we surely have an activity to offer you.
Farm and garden visits, permaculture, pony or carriage rides, equine mediation, creations using natural materials, botanical walks, decorative workshops for Halloween and Christmas, and right now a great workshop where you can learn how to make goat cheese – from milking to tasting! One of our young people will be pleased to accompany you during your visit to make sure your experience is a success.

The establishment of an educational farm within a medico-social institution welcoming adolescents placed by judicial decision represents an innovative and profoundly human initiative. It fits into a logic of care, education, and reintegration, complementing the therapeutic and educational support already in place.

Daily contact with animals and plants promotes calm, emotional regulation, and the reduction of behavioral disorders. Nature becomes a space for breathing and reconstruction.
Agricultural activities allow young people to develop practical skills, often absent from their schooling. These learnings restore meaning to effort and strengthen self-esteem.
Taking care of a living being requires consistency, attention, and kindness. These responsibilities help young people feel useful, recognized, and capable.
The farm becomes a place of meeting and cooperation. It encourages exchanges between young people, educators, and external contributors, helping to create a climate of trust.
The educational farm can also serve as a springboard for training or professional integration projects. It opens concrete and rewarding perspectives for young people who are often adrift.

We are pleased to welcome you to our educational farm, a space of discovery, sharing, and learning located at the heart of the Secure Educational Center L’Arverne.

We would like to reassure you: although the CEF is an educational institution designed to support adolescents in difficulty within a structured framework, the educational farm is a safe place, supervised by professionals. It enables young people to develop skills, to reconnect with values of respect, responsibility, and work, while also building connections with the outside world.

Your visit contributes to this positive dynamic. It offers young people the opportunity to showcase their efforts, to open up to others, and to engage in a constructive reintegration process.

All activities take place in a strictly supervised environment, guaranteeing the safety of both visitors and young people. We thank you for your presence and your benevolent outlook, which fully support our educational mission.

We wish you a pleasant visit, full of exchanges and discoveries.
