We welcome you to our Coudray farm in Saint-Germain-de-Coulamer in Mayenne.
When I was little, I loved petting the animals, playing in the straw, drinking the cows' milk, making herbariums and chasing the chickens.
And what if ... you came along too? Watch the cows ruminate, feed the little calves, go into the henhouse and collect the hens' eggs.
The farm is open to the general public (children, teenagers, families, people with disabilities, retirement homes, leisure centres, schools, businesses, crèches, etc. ).
You can visit the entire dairy farm, from calves and young cattle to dairy cows:
