La Ferme Côte-d'Or is our own little agricultural show! Each year, the Department promotes the local sectors which make the Côte-d'Or territory a true “little agricultural France”. This year, Ferme Côte-d’Or will take place from November 7 to 10. You will undoubtedly explore it with your family, your children will perhaps go with their school… 1,500 students from the department are expected there.
The approach is deliberately educational and fun. This is an opportunity to meet local breeders and operators. Around fifty animals will form this small reconstructed farm. Here is the full program:
