V’île Fertile is a micro farm on the edge of Paris, created in 2013 and run entirely by volunteers. They grow fruit and vegetables on a small plot, using sustainable farming techniques that have existed for centuries.
Each year, the farm produces over a ton of fruit and vegetables, including tomatoes, courgettes, aubergines, sweet peppers and cabbage. No chemicals are used in the process; the farm makes its own compost from organic waste. The fresh, organically-grown produce is sold on site.
On this guided tour, you’ll see how the farm is operated, discover the agricultural techniques and processes used, and learn more about the philosophy of urban farming.
If rain is forecast, remember to bring your raincoat!
