- such as milking and feeding the goats

-feeding the chickens and ducks

-feeding the pigs ...

-how to make cheese

If you're a keen hiker, there are a number of footpaths starting from the farm to discover the magnificent Airou valley.

Every season has its own particularity:

Spring : goat kids are born, nature awakens with undergrowth carpeted with wild garlic, and you can stroll through the scents of wild Hyacinth... Workshops are offered to help you learn about culinary and medicinal plants...

Summer: the river stretches out its bed for fishing enthusiasts to refresh themselves and listen to its restful murmur, discover the riches of our region between its soil and its coastline with its tides where we can introduce you to fishing on foot and many other things.

Autumn: mushroom picking followed by chestnut fricassee and a bowl of new cider.

The woods and forests with their autumnal colors, good times for photography, painting and herbarium enthusiasts...

Winter:Winter zenitude by the stove, listening to the silence of sleeping nature, and evenings spent around a good meal prepared by us.

prepared by us;

Sunrises over the valley and discreetly waiting for deer to pass by...

Territory description

Etiennette's farm is at 17 rte des villages in Mesnil-rogues,
we're surrounded by wooded valleys and magnificent rivers to be discovered in all seasons, because the wonders of nature

are an everyday surprise.

Mont st michel is only 45 minutes away
the coastline with its beaches and footpaths is 20 minutes away
The famous D-Day landing beaches are 1 hour away
The Chausey Islands are 45 minutes from Granville by boat.
But we also offer a wealth of local produce
such as cider and its secrets, the inimitable Camembert .... and many others, for Normandy is a farandole of flavors.

Weoffer several activities on our farm:

hiking trails to discover the airou valley, wild plant recognition, learning to fish on foot and of course discovering the farm (milking goats, making cheese, caring for animals such as chickens, horses, sheep, pigs ...).

Several workshops are offered throughout the year, including
