La Maison des Bêtes à laine educational farm
Cervières
La maison des bêtes à laine is a family affair.
Pierre and Faustine welcome you to share their passion for breeding.
By coming to meet them, you'll be able to observe the life of a flock of sheep in the mountains, in the Vallée de Cervières, a territory of mountain pastures tended for generations by the Bêtes à Laine.
In addition to learning about pastoralism and visiting the sheepfold, you'll discover 'wool in all its forms', as sheep produce a fleece that we can transform for a variety of needs.
The visit to this educational farm, approved by the French Ministry of Education and the Bienvenue à la Ferme network, includes educational videos on the whole of the profession, total immersion in the sheep's winter living quarters, and finally a discovery of the stages in the transformation of wool 'from fleece to yarn'.
At the Maison des Bêtes à Laine, you can :
- Take part in wool discovery workshops - From fleece to thread (Workshop on request)
- Take part in tours of the farm, to discover Pierre and Faustine's passionate craft.
- Buy balls of wool, socks, quilts and by-products from their sheep!
