Can we watch the cows being milked?

Yes. The milking parlor and the barns with the calves are open every day from 9am to 7pm, and milking starts at 3:30pm, so an afternoon session lines up well.

Can we pick more pumpkins to carve at home?

Yes. The Cueillette de Viltain fields have pumpkins to pick in season, and the farm market sells produce grown and made on site.

Can I bring a school or club group?

No. The workshop takes families only: kids with their parents or grandparents.

About

A pumpkin carving workshop at a working dairy and pick-your-own farm southwest of Paris. Kids choose a pumpkin, draw a face on it, scoop it out and carve it with help from the farm's staff, then take the jack-o'-lantern home. It runs under a tent next to the farm shop, with parents or grandparents alongside. The cowshed, calves and pick-your-own fields make it easy to stretch into a half day.

€9.90 per child, pumpkin included
