La petite ferme de la Gaudina, association le Coeur sur la Patte

Located in the Alpes Maritimes, the small farm of La Gaudina is a place of happiness and tranquillity. Respect for nature and animals is the guiding principle of Sandy and Julien Quinson, the managers of this educational farm. Their objective: to transmit this love of the environment to all those around them.
The programme includes learning about the origin of vegetables, fruit, meat and dairy products, interactive workshops with the animals and a little work on the land in the vegetable garden.
The animals on the farm are all rescue animals: rabbits, chickens, guinea pigs, pigeons, donkeys, goats, sheep, and pigs.
Discovery visits for families, schools and leisure centres. It is also possible to take part in nature courses for children during the school holidays. These courses allow children to learn more about the needs of the animals, their way of life, feeding, and they take part in the care and maintenance of the enclosures during participative group workshops. They also discover the work of the land and the vegetables and fruit in season.
About two Wednesday mornings a month, 2-hour workshops at the farm for the children during which they are totally immersed in the work of the farm and the vegetable garden, the activities are targeted with a different theme at each session.
