Description
Located in La Favril, in the heart of the Avesnois region, La Petite Ferme de Denis et Sophie is an organic dairy sheep farm nestled in an unspoilt bocage landscape. The site combines rural authenticity, biodiversity and respect for natural cycles.
A former wet meadow that has been converted into a breeding and transmission center, the farm has been designed as an open space that is at once agricultural, educational and ecological. The wooden farm buildings blend harmoniously into the landscape, and the surrounding hedges, ponds and orchards provide a haven for a variety of flora and fauna.
La Petite Ferme stands out for its respectful approach to life: seasonal monotraitement, natural feeding, preservation of meadows and gentle water management. Every choice is guided by the quest for balance between production, the environment and animal welfare.
It's a lively, welcoming place, where ewes, lambs, chickens, fruit trees and visitors curious to discover another face of agriculture - closer to nature and people.

Our eco-responsible and farming commitments
Our eco-responsible commitments
At La Petite Ferme, we place respect for life and the natural balance at the heart of everything we do. Our farm is committed to organic farming, which guides both our livestock and our landscaping.
- 🌿 Preserving biodiversity: hedges, ponds and natural meadows are maintained without chemicals, encouraging local flora and fauna. A willow hedge has been planted to manage the site's humidity while providing shelter for biodiversity.
- 🐑 Respectful breeding: seasonal monotraite, grass- and hay-based feeding, and respect for the ewes' natural rhythms guarantee their well-being and milk quality.
- 💧 Reasoned water management: the farm, located in a wetland area, implements natural solutions (flat ditches, absorbent hedges, no artificial drainage) to limit the impact on ecosystems.
- 🔁 Circular economy and sobriety: organic waste is composted, packaging limited, and the materials used favor the local and sustainable.
- 🌞 Transmission and awareness-raising: we welcome visitors, young people and groups to share our practices, showing that human-scale agriculture, respectful and rooted in its territory, is possible.
Our farm aims to be a living, exemplary and coherent place, where every daily gesture contributes to preserving nature and transmitting values of respect and joyful sobriety.
