Some twenty kilometers from Toulon, the farm of Beaugensiers stands in a large two-hectare orchard inhabited by a hundred animals, including cows, sheep, donkeys, pigs, turkeys, etc.Seven employees of the association La Ferme de Beaugensiers run various workshops for educational purposes on the topics of environmental conservation, sustainable development and food.The visitors can learn to make bread or goat cheese, to perform source-separation and to recycle, or even to conserve water.
These workshops are extremely successful.The association welcomes more than 15,000 visitors every year, including children and handicapped adults, in connection with school outings and weekly leisure trips.
On Sundays, the farm has an "open house": 4,000 persons go there every year.Alongside the social organizations, the farm also welcomes young delinquents reintegrating in society.
