For the sixth consecutive year, the Tour du Valat opened the doors of its agroecological farm to the public, at the Mas du Petit Saint-Jean and as part of the \u2018Le Gard de ferme en ferme\u2019 festival, on 25 and 26 April. Let’s take a look back at these two beautiful days.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Located in the Gard region of the Camargue, the Mas du Petit Saint-Jean showcases the Tour du Valat\u2019s agricultural activities. Spread across 100 hectares, it is an ambitious agroecological project where vineyards, orchard meadows, crops, fruit hedgerows, pastures and natural habitats coexist, enriching and reinforcing one another in the pursuit of sustainable agriculture.<\/p>\n

On two sunny spring days, over a hundred visitors came to discover this unique project. Through visits and discussions with the Tour du Valat team, they gained a better understanding of the close links between agricultural practices and the preservation of biodiversity.<\/p>\n

The weekend included a rich programme<\/a> of activities for everyone: guided walks through the vineyards, a tour of the winery, exploring biodiversity in the vineyards, an introduction to cyanotype printing, and a focus on the challenges of salinity affecting the vineyards and the Camargue.<\/p>\n

At midday, farmer St\u00e9phane Vidil regaled visitors with a delicious spit-roasted pork.<\/p>\n
